Plans Change

We're off to Paris this weekend--Texas, not France. That's where the TEXPAAC square dance weekend is held every October. We're looking forward to seeing our friends and dancing to some great callers.

We found a brand new RV park in the Tyler area called RV Parks R Us. We needed a commercial park because the state parks have a 14 day limit. We're not sure exactly how long our truck modification will take. While the truck bed is off the truck being worked on, we won't be able to move the fifth wheel, so we needed a good longer term place to stay. We're hoping this turns out to be a good choice.

We got up very early this morning--at 1:45 a.m. actually--so that we could watch the episode of Upstairs Downstairs that we missed on Sunday. Of course we went back to bed afterwards. We'll be doing te same thing tonight, this time to watch Call the Midwife.


Our new smoke and fire detector is definitely more prone to false alarms. I can't really blame it for going off today. I was baking a chicken, and even with the exhaust fan going, it was putting a fair amount of smoke in the air. We have to silence the alarm, turn on the bedroom exhaust fan, and close the pocket door. That's a bit of a pain, but worth it if we have more reliable warning of incipient fires.
