In typical fun, Bisbee fashion, someone decided to have a birthday party, camper sleepover at the small Jonquil motel back yard.
Our friend Carmen had an important birthday so somebody (Carmen?) decided a sleepover would be fun. The Jonquil is a sweet, old, motel right on Tombstone with a big back yard that they rent out for occasions. In the last week we also learned our good friends Katie & Pam decided to move for a year to Prescott (but only temporarily!) so the party also served as a good bye, good luck party.
The weather guy sent us a cold snap at the last minute so we moved the band (Los Amigos of course, our beloved town band) and the party into the Bisbee Grand Motel and got a huge crowd. Carmen is very popular and fun and loved in Bisbee so it was fun to see her catch up with everybody in town.
When the festivities ended at the Bisbee Grand, we headed up the hill to the Jonquil where our 4 campers were already set up. Carmen had her toy hauler, Deb & Milo had the new van, Carmen's friends Skip & Donna had their camper and Katie & Pam had their van. Nick got a room in the motel and a big fire was started in the fire ring out back. A lot of folks came up from the Grand to continue the party.
Many hours later we crawled into the campers for the night. The next morning we gathered in our van (we have heat), had coffee and then broke camp for the long 1/4 mile back home.
What a great idea and Happy Birthday Carmen, and good luck in Prescott Katie & Pam, we miss you already.
