The county fairground in Farmington, NM was the site for the Rocky Mountain Family Motor Coach Assoc. rally with 524 rigs present. The chapter of which we are members, Coaches for Christ, had 17 rigs. Good fellowship and food were enjoyed at Golden Corral by several hungry folks.
At these rallies, there are so many rigs attending that they are parked pretty much like sardines in a can! Vendors are present in case you want to spend your money. Ruth Roubal and Cheryl Dye (members of Coaches for Christ and Tucson Drifters) had a booth with gorgeous jewelry.
Our chapter was responsible for conducting the Sunday morning worship service and daily devotions. President Bill Marti shares his testimony with the group, and Len Jardin and Russ did the special music. We typically had 30 (give or take a few) at the daily devotions.
It has been wonderful how the Lord has placed new friends in our lives during our summer ministry. One day (a couple of weeks ago) as we were jeeping high in the mountains north of Durango, we came across 2 van loads of senior adults from Bloomfield, NM on an excursion to view the Fall colors. As we stopped and visited with them we learned they were from First Baptist Church. Then...at the FMCA rally, we met Lew and Linda King, music/worship leaders at the same church! The more we visited with them, the more we found in common. He served 22 years in churches in Mississippi, one of them being Parkway near Jackson and they lived in Clinton near the area where Russ' parents lived. They are wonderful servants for the Lord and we look forward to being with them again next year.

Glad to have you home!
It looks like Russ was "blogging" instead of playing the electric piano.
