Repair Success

This morning we danced to Joe Saltel and as usual had a great time. We visited with Hardy and Judy and actually got to dance with them in one square. We agreed to look for a restaurant for Christmas dinner. Our first choice, Mimi's, is closed on Christmas. We had a great hot hash square with Dick and Mary Ann, Ron and Judy Barr, and Mike and Bonnie Hall.

My granddaughter, Annie, now has her own Facebook page, and she and I are "friends." Her parents had been holding out until she was older, but when her friend Isabel's hamster had its own page, how could Annie not have one?

I worked for some time trying to put the push button switch on our ceiling light back together, but after lots of frustration, finally gave up. Whenever I got the parts back together, the push button wouldn't work. We had looked for a new one yesterday at several stores with no luck, so I checked on the web. I found what we needed, but with shipping costs and delay, that didn't seem the optimal solution, so I started calling around to electrical and lighting places and finally (finally!) located a small electrical supply place that said they had one. We drove in to Mission and were very pleasantly surprised to find just what we needed for $1 and with a smile. We brought it home, installed it, and put the fixture back together, so we have light over our table once more. Another minor victory in the struggle to keep our RV ("repair vehicle") in tiptop shape.



It's been raining for hours now, and no leaks, so evidently our leak repairs are holding, thankfully.

We spent another couple of hours on photos tonight, all of it in just subdividing the 1,074 July photos into manageable groups
