There was a great turn out for the February Campout. Barb and Dick Yeager were the Wagonmasters with 11 rigs showing up. Attending were Beesleys, Georges, Waldmanns, Cooks, Dixon, Fullers/Bob Stockel, Hewitts, Hubers, Mitchell/with friend Helen, Patlas, and Sawyers. Driving out on Saturday were Peggy and Bob Marquarot and Milton Edwards and his brother, Robert. The Sunsites Community center held their usual money makers by having a steak fry on Friday evening and also providing a big breakfast on Saturday morning. Members were off to see the Sandhill Cranes at the Whitewater Draw. They were also treated to a flock of Snow Geese and to a Grey Horned Owl. There was a short business meeting on Saturday afternoon. The Yeagers treated the group to deep fried Turkey with the club members providing potluck dishes to round out the meal. Saturday evening two squares danced to our caller, Bill George. Sunday morning was our usual breakfast potluck. Members said their farewells and were off after three days of beautiful weather.
I am not sure who to give credit to for this picture, but it was taken in an earlier year of the Sandhill Cranes……
I wish to thank Marian and George Beesley and Dave and Maria Waldmann for the information I received to help me create this newsletter.
April 11-13 Campout - Tombstone RV Park
It will require 12 rigs to get a 10% discount. $29.95 down to $26.95.

Little Old Lady and Speeding Ticket
An older lady gets pulled over for speeding
Older woman “Is there a problem, Officer”
Officer: “Ma’am, you were speeding”
Older woman: “Oh, I see”
Officer: “Can I see your license please?”
Older woman: I’d give it to you, but I don’t have one.”
Officer: “Don’t have one?”
Older women: “Lost it four years ago for drunk driving.”
Officer: “I see…Can I see your vehicle registration papers please?”
Older woman: “I can’t do that.”
Officer: “Why not?”
Older woman: “I stole this car.”
Officer: “Stole it?”
Older woman: “Yes and killed and hacked up the owner.”
Officer: “You WHAT?”
Older woman: “His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see.”
The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun……….
Officer 2: “Ma’am, could you step out of your vehicle!” The woman steps out of her vehicle.
Older woman: “Is there a problem?”
Officer 2: “One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.”
Older women: “Murdered the owner???”
Officer 2: “Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car?”
The woman opens the trunk, revealing but an empty trunk.
Officer 2: “Is this your car, ma’am?”
Older woman: “Yes, here are the registration papers.”
The officer is quite stunned.
Officer 2: “One of my officers claims that you do not have a driver’s license.”
The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer. The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.
Officer 2: “Thank you ma’am, one of my officers told me you didn’t have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.”
Older woman: “Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too!!”

January 11-13 we camped at Cochise Terrace RV Park in Benson, AZ. We had a total of 14 Rigs. Members attending were Ballengers, Cooks, DeLongs, Dixon, Hewitts, Voss/Capuano, Wakefield, Waldmann, Yauchs, and Yeagers with Winkenwerders as drive-ins. Our club was blessed to introduce THREE new couples who camped with us and joined the OPSW: Clayton and Jean Messelt; Ruth and Dan Dickens; and Peggy and Bob Marquart.
We are always happy to welcome Joyce and Don McNair from Prescott Valley as guests. Friday evening our Wagonmasters, Ballengers and Yauchs, provided a chili supper. It was delicious. Thank You!! Bill George, our caller, was ill so Cel Potter called our Friday evening square dance. Saturday morning Maria Waldmann demonstrated how to make 10 minute Peanut Brittle in your microwave oven. The Peanut Brittle was so good it did not last long. Noon time was our usual Potluck with our business meeting to follow. Saturday evening, 7:00 – 9:30, we attended the Cavern Promenaders “All Callers Dance”, organized by Cel Potter. Sunday morning we said our good-byes after a wonderful Potluck Breakfast. On February 8-10 we will be off in our RVs to camp at the Sr. Center at Sunsites, AZ. This is an opportunity to see the Sandhill Cranes or visit a dairy farm.

In December we had a wonderful campout at St David, AZ. We wish to thank John and Julie Patla and Julius and Eleanor Huber along with their granddaughter, Melissa Bales for their hard work as wagonmasters. Rigs at the campout were: Georges, Hewitts, Beesleys, Cooks, Waldmanns, Sawyers, Patlas, Hubers/Melissa, Voss/Capuano, Dixon, Fullers/Bob Stockel , and Winkenwerders. Guests driving out for dinner and our meeting were: Yauchs, Ballengers and Trokeys. Thirty-three members and guests were served a delicious turkey dinner family style. The staff at the Monastery always makes our Christmas campout very special. We brought toys to be donated to the Monastery for their orphanage and many gave a money donation for the Food Bank of Tucson. Now it is time for us to look toward 2008. We have a busy camping schedule coming. January 11-13 we will camp at Cochise Terrace RV Park in Benson, AZ. We look forward to dancing on Friday evening with our caller, Bill George. Saturday evening, 7:00 – 9:30, we plan to attend the Cavern Promenaders “All Callers Dance”, which is also being held at Cochise Terrace RV Resort. At our meeting we had installation of officers. There will be a memorial service for Ruth LeMarr on Saturday, January 19 at 1:00 pm. The service will be held in the club house at 3003W Broadway, Tucson, AZ. A potluck dinner will follow.

January Diet Poem
Author: Unknown
It was the month after Christmas and all through the house
nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste,
at the holiday parties had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).
I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
the wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
and the way I'd never said, "No Thank you, please."
As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
and prepared once again to do battle with dirt.
I said to myself, as I only can
"you can't spend a winter disguised as a man!"
So---away with the last of the sour cream dip,
get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip
every last bit of food that I like must be banished
till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie----not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome and life is a bore,
but isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
