We are on our way home from Bristol and the Nascar Race, but HAD to stop and spend the night in the Tom Sawyer RV Park on the Mississippi River, again! The river is about 5 feet from putting the RV park under water, it is running so high! It's really cool to watch the barges go up and down the river, almost at eye level. The ones going up river, churn and churn and you can watch the rolling waves from the engine for about 1/4 mile down the river! They are from little short ones to super huge looonnngg ones!
From here, we'll be going home, to touch base, and Jimmy was going to take the jeep and drive to Alto, to go skiing for the weekend and I was going to relax.....but, I guess we'll all be headed to New Mexico, in a few days and maybe spend our 25th Anniversary there.

Well, after the "Interference Fit" process, finally worked, we left and stopped by El Paso for a day, to see my brother and some friends. Then off, quickly, by the house in Kennedale, for a day, then off, madly, to Bristol, Tn. for the Nascar Race!

On the way home from Farley's.....steak fingers and ribs.....we caught this great sunset!

As I sit here on the deck, Jimmy is sawing and drilling on the axle sleeve of the bus and I am watching it snow, between brief breaks of sunshine....go figure! Yesterday was my birthday and our friend Harvey spent the day with us. He had not been here since high school, so we drove all around town and let him remenisce! Then , he had to leave, so Jimmy cooked me dinner and brought me flowers and ice cream! I have been feeling pretty punky, lately, so I'm just taking it easy and trying to stay quiet, so I don't go into a coughing fit!

My friend Dara, is basically running the office and catching up on driver's paperwork, etc. while I'm out of town, and Elevinia went by to write the rent check for us....so all's running smoothly, by remote control. We saw a really pretty Buck while driving around......

Sealing up the "cracks".

Well, it's a pretty, sunshiney day and 41 degrees, and Jimmy is doing some odd jobs around the place. Putting up some underpinning around the roof, to block out some of the cold wind. His new project is to run the dryer tubing, under the deck, thus keeping the water pipes warm.
The bus is still not fixed, I guess I'm just lucky that we made it here and I can just sit on the warm deck, like it was my living room. Hopefully, the mobile service guy will be up from Las Cruces, Tomorrow.
