My younger sister Julie Marchant came to visit for my 75th birthday.We had a great time. We celebrated both my husband and my birthdays.
We had an Ambrosia cake which my niece Claudia Thelin had made for us. It was delicious with Ice Cream.Some of the grandkids and family came to celebrate with us. There were about 25 present. Several small gifts were appreciated from our family. Dozen red roses from my daughter for Mothers Day.
The day before my birthday our fridge freezer went out. So we were off shopping for a new fridge freezer combo. We found the best deal at Spencers store. It was getting dinnertime so we decided to stop at the Organ Stop Pizza, for some great Organ melodies and great Pizza and Root Beer.

The next day Ron, Julie and I went to Mining Camp about 30 minutes from our home. We had all you can eat Barbequed Spare ribs, chicken and Ham Potatoes, Green beans, roll, milk or lemonade to drink.
The four MacNasty Brothers entertained us for 1 1/2 hours after we ate dinner. They were hilarious and very musical on their banjo, mandelin, and mandacello and quitars. Terrific clean jokes were told, we laughed so hard. They gave me a Oatmeal cookie piled high with whip cream with a candle in it .This was wonderful music and entertainment for all of us.

It wasn't dark yet, so we toured the desert scenery taking photos of each other in front of various cacti. A big thunderstorm was approaching. So we hurried home before we got drenced.
