Wahoo..The Centennial Committee finally got the new historic marker in place and we unvieled it yesterday. We also had our art exhibit. Everything went great. Good crowd, interesting people, good food, etc. We started early 6:30 am to get everything set up for 9:30 am showtime. We were rushed but got it spiffed right up and looking good. We had alot of former residents show up. Mike, Mary and Teresa Carlo came over from Pahrump, I hadn't seen Mike and Mary for 10 years. They've promised to come back on the 14th for our bingo fundraiser. We had some great paintings on display, also some etchings and some limited edition prints. Dorothy Wright donated a Lucille Bruner water color of the Goodsprings School to the Goodsprings Historical Society. On display we had some Bruner, Jo Harding, Vivian Woods, Purcell etchings, Brent Thompson print, Jane Fleming, Mary Ellen Schwartz and some I was not familiar with. All very good. After a quick take down and clean up it was home for a quick nap.
After our nap I had to hurry and make some stroganoff for a potato bar supper at the Hendersons. We have a monthly get together and eat good stuff. I was stuffed when we got home. We had a nice visit with everyone. Sorry Mark didn't make it but I'm sure he was having a great time in AZ with Christy and the kids. Next month at Mark and Terry's and I've forgotten what we are featuring..guess I better make a call or two and find out what I need to make.
This blog is for family and friends to keep up with our comings and goings. We will also post favorite recipes, desert gardening tips and hints, craft and quilting projects, etc. We live in an old mining town 35 miles southwest of Las Vegas, NV. The town has a population of approximately 250 brave souls. We have lived here 40 years and have learned alot about having a successful garden in the high desert. I do alot of baking, cooking, canning, quilting, sewing, tole painting and most needlework. We have wonderful mountain views, wild horses, old mines, miles and miles of trails and just a wonderful rural experience close to a large city. Life couldn't be better!!!
