On to Paris

We biked over to the airport this morning. It's a good place to bike around, with little traffic and some interesting sights. We saw an American Eagle plane pulled up to a gate, but we didn't have time to hang around to watch it take off.

Back at RV Parks R Us, we finished our preparations to move to the Red River Valley Fairgrounds for the TEXPACC weekend.  We got a late start, so we stopped to have lunch at a nice rest area on I-20 after just half an hour driving. We arrived at the fairgrounds and checked in with the office. We thought we'd be in the gravel parking area, but there was concern that the space would be needed for cars to park, not only for the square dancers, but also for a big special event in the building right in the middle of the square dance venues. We ended up deciding to park in the grassy area, but we definitely tore up some of the grass. It has been raining, and we're very heavy.

After we were set up, a Newmar Mountain Aire motorhome set up nearby. It turned out to be Tom and Jackie. We've danced with them in the RGV. They are upper level dancers, but sometimes they come to Joe Saltel's Wednesday evening dances.

Around 4:30 p.m. Hardy called. They were inbound, and we planned to go to dinner with them. When they arrived, after the hugs, we decided to go to the Road House Family Diner. That's where we went last year with them and Steve and Jan.

This time Hardy got his ribeye, and Judy got her grilled chicken breast. We got salads from the salad bar. Then we sat and watched Hardy and Judy eat, waiting for our grilled catfish. We waited and talked and waited. After a bit we went up to the counter to ask where our food was. Evidently somehow our order got lost, because then we waited some more. Finally our food arrived. It was good--maybe partly because by then we were really hungry!
