On to Paris! and Happy Birthday, Aunt Helene!

The day started out fine, with a clear blue sunny sky and mild temperatures. We got ready to hitch up and then went for a bike ride, staying near the lake to enjoy its quiet beauty. Then we put the bikes back on the rack, hitched up, and headed out.

Site #68 at Lewisville Lake Park

The trip was more stressful than we expected. We ran into lots of construction slow-downs and such, so we didn't get to the fair grounds in Paris until almost 5:00 p.m. Four rigs were here before us, so we tucked into the last 50 amp site on the end, site #12. That means the utilities are on the wrong side, and they are located against the fence, at the back of the rig. That worked out fine for our electrical connection. Ken had to add addition hose to make the fresh water connection, and there's no way our sewer hoses would reach, so we just plan to dump at another site before we leave Monday.

We saw Glenn and Char and Bob and LaDone when we arrived, and lots more folks will be coming in tomorrow.

We are next to Glenn and Char's Excel--reminds us of old times.


Tonight we found out that our internet data service provider, Millenicom, will no longer be offering Verizon service. Verizon is acquiring all of the Millenicom Verizon accounts. That means all existing Millenicom customers, including us, will be contacted soon by Verizon. We have no idea at this time what our options will be, but they will certainly be much more expensive than the plan we have now. Darn it!

We have been studying the C-2 calls in preparation for this weekend. Tonight we used Taminations to go over several. The animations are very helpful.

I called my Aunt Helene today to wish her a happy birthday. She turns 94 this year. She said that Kathy and Peggy had been to visit and sounded quite cheerful.
