It was a busy weekend with working on the paper, the web portal....and driving down to Tucson to hook up with the Acers who were on hand for the wedding of a 'favorite son'.
Seems they long ago incorporated 3 boys into their family of 4 girls: Matt (Left) Brandon (back) and Joe. Joe was the one getting married to Becky at the Wild Horse Ranch in Tucson and there were lots of Kingman and Tucson folks on hand to celebrate.
The ceremony was perfectly short and sweet and the reception/dancing went well past midnight.
Jim, Brandon and Sarah all had to leave the next morning at 5:30 after four hours of sleep and the rest of us got to sleep in. Thank goodness!
This kind of night is why so many people move to Tucson. A June evening which was dry, cool and starlit. Nothing like sharing a bathroom with 5 women...especially when they are getting ready for an "event!". Jim is used to it...he just stays out of the way!
Getting to and from Tucson these days though is a challenge. They have torn up both major arteries leading into Globe-Miami to widen the highways. So the highway looks like this for a 2 mile stretch heading to Tucson. On the weekends there may be a 15 minute delay, but on weekdays the road is completely shut down Mon- Friday.
Going the other way, the road can be shut down for 15 minutes to an hour while they clear the blasting debris. Not sure it was such a good idea to widen BOTH roads at the same time. Ah well.
Some things are worth running the gamut....and this weekend was one of them! Cheers,L
what a crew!
