Family and sunsets










We've been able to slow down and enjoy life a little bit since I started my new job. The weather in the Sacramento area this summer has been really mild. The jet stream has been pushing weather systems south this summer. This has given us delta breezes which has been allowing it to cool off at night.



Because of the delta breeze, we have been seeing a lot of really neat sunsets. We managed to catch a picture of it recently with our new camera, a Canon digital SLR. Having the new camera, which also records movies, allows us to give Katie and Russ our old Film 35 mm SLR and our digital movie camera, which they were very excited to get!


We also managed to get the family to join us for a Family bar-b-que this last weekend. We had a great gathering of the family. We had Carols sister Sandy and her husband Bill Ealy, Sandy's daughter Brandee and her husband Kevin McCann, Carol's Brother Calvin and his wife Joyce and Katie and her main squeeze Russ. So it was a great gathering.



We also got to give Russ his birthday gift a remote controlled helicopter, which we understand he is enjoying immensely!


It is so wonderful to live in our 40 foot motorhome and still have a lot of enjoyable family events any time of year.


Happy camping! - Eric and Carol -

Family get togethers are really special times. Glad you had such a good one. Also glad to hear the new job gives you a chance to have more time at home.
