Our Michigan family came to visit and we spent part of the day hanging out in the pool! It was great seeing them!

PJ, the Plain Jane RV
After some camping hardships that we went through, mostly food separation related, we decided to pull the trigger and get an RV. We had some good conversations with our financial advisor and it made sense and wouldn’t impact us too badly. While we picked it up in Mesa, we were also coincidentally invited to my niece’s daughter’s birthday.
Camille’s 50th
Our best friend, Camille, whom we haven’t seen in a bit, reached her 50th birthday and her sister, Raquel, created a pretty cool party! It was so good to see her and the family. It is always like no time has passed at all, but at the same time, everyone is older and bigger. The kids whom we’ve been around since they were tiny babies, or even from before they were born, are growing so big!
Mindi’s 50th
One of our really good friends, Mindi, hit her milestone birthday. We got to hang out with her and some friends, and of course, we ran into someone I knew there. Ha! I usually run into people I know.
Dark Ones: Silk Road… The Spice!
For the Dark Ones party, the theme was the Silk Road, and to make it funny, we did the Spice Girls, gender bent… kind of! I brought up the idea while we were at the Ren Faire and Brian just wanted to run with it, so he got some other volunteers to be the other girls! LOL
William’s Brunch
We got the family together for my nephew William’s birthday. and we even got Damien’s girlfriend to hang out with us. It was a good morning! Happy birthday William!
Back to the Arizona Renaissance Faire 2023
It was the busiest we have ever seen the Renaissance Faire! But Damien asked to go and was bringing his girlfriend, Sam. So we dealt with the 3 hours it took to get there. It was nuts! We saw too many times, people pull over to go pee on the side of the road on the way there. It was all too often that we drove in the single digit MPH if we weren’t stopped completely.
When we got there, we booked it to the restrooms. Once we were relieved, we had a great time, despite the massive crowds. It cleared out more at 5 PM, but it took us over an hour after we left, just waiting for traffic to leave so that we could.
Wing Touch Up
After over a year of decent use of our wings, we met up at our place to touch them up. It was nice just getting the group together.
Arizona Aloha Festival 2023
It’s the time of year when the Arizona Aloha Festival happens in Tempe Beach Park! We got to spend some time shopping, eating, and seeing some friends. This time, we brought our wagon and chairs and it made such a huge difference to our experience! Whenever we wanted to, we just sat down. It was lovely!
Glendale Folk Festival 2023
We all got together about an hour early to play some songs. Over the years, thanks to COVID, we have mostly converted to online meetings and that doesn’t work well for most of our members and online meetings don’t really allow us to play together. Our online attendees have dwindled by a lot. But… when we meet in person, it feels like a great reunion! Almost like the 3 years we’ve been apart didn’t happen. I love making music with everyone!
Our friends came to support us, and that was really nice and special! Also, they took a couple pictures for us.
