Hot

'Nuff Said -- If you can't see that smaller print---it says "Feels Like 103º" This is at 4:02 pm Friday

Things going on

91º at 4:00 pm on Thursday with "feel like" of 97º and 72% humidity.  Predicted storms today, but so far nothing.
After talking with our Minnesota friends who are acquainted with man who lives year-around in the park, she had him go to our place, locate keys to the Texas Room and look it over.  He reported no standing water, and no smell of dampness, so we are relieved.  Had considered driving down to La Fereia, Texas look at things.  Now we won't.

May have been a bit of dampness
in Texas Room, but none remaining.

You can see dampness where rubber mat had lain.

Bit of a line on shop door inside Texas Room

Steps by our front door.  Water-line an inch or so.

Can see dampness where rubber mat had laid by the
front door of the Texas Room.

I told you some time ago this grass by the
electric/phone boxes would grow to four feet high!

Took electric out so could look inside - saw that water line
from "city" was inside and had been leaking when at Wahoo
so took of side panel (this is by the bed) to get to lines.

This is inside - found screw fitting was loose just inside wall.

Starting to put panel back after fixing hose leak.

Had electric outlets fail while we were at Wahoo -- discovered
all went through this GFI.

The 20 amp cord I brought in the window &
used extension cords for 120 V in the trailer
during the 6 days we were in Wahoo, NE.

New GFI in place -- and all the other outlets on down
the line work, too!

Visited with niece Julie Miles in Lincoln
last Sunday evening and ate supper with her. 

Had a rabbit spend 10 minutes or so with us as we
ate yesterday noon on the patio.

Wasn't scared at all.

This morning I finally took down an LED lamp from under
the kitchen cabinets that quit last year.

The new light is fluorescent and puts out more lite than the LED

Really enjoyed the music at Wahoo, in spite of all the rain while we were there.

73º now at 10:30 am Tuesday; predicted high today of 81º.  When we got home Monday Phyllis dumped .5" of rain from the gauge, and I dumped .7" this morning.
Click on photos to enlarge.    Okay, I haven't written for some time.  We were at the Wahoo Country  Music Show last Tuesday afternoon until this Monday about 7:30 am.  Rain was predicted Monday and I was unhooked from power, and hooked up to pickup with jacks up by about 7 am.  We did run into rain before we got to Lincoln, some 22 miles south.

Sign at edge of town.

Driving south from Wahoo Monday morning.

This is the schedule, and the check marks are the ones we watched/listened to.

With only 4GB of data a month for our shared phones, I was hesitant to make a second post from Wahoo, especially with photos to upload as they use quite a bit of data.  Now that I am on my own WIFI in the basement at home, hooked to cable, not to worry about data used.

At right and below are some of the different

acts and entertainers.  I am still trying to

get the names from the schedule and

try to apply to the photos.  We took video of

something just under 20 hours and it

is taking a lot of time to edit, delete, combine

and get them ready to put on DVD and also

I am changing them to MP3 to play in pickup.

High Country - Missouri and the Rio Grande Valley

Lori King and Junction 63 - from Lamoni, Iowa

I was really amazed to see my brother Don playing the steel guitar!!!!
 A look-alike if I ever saw one.  He is actually Eldon Hardekopf from Grand Island, NE. 

Mary Channer Paul in center with her daughter at left.

We were seated by this couple at many of the shows and got acquainted.
They are 88 years old, could barely walk, using canes, but when holding
onto each other they could dance.  They are from Indianola, IA and we
plan to stop and see them sometime in our travels.

Northport, Washington 

Sharon Kenaston, at left organizes and runs this show as well
as having a band.  Her sister-in-law is at right.

The Kenaston band backed Terry Smith on his hour-long Sunday afternoon
program.  Sharon's husband is at far right.

The Browns sitting next to Phyllis at Stage 1.  Browns are both
88 years old, live on farm at edge of Indianola, Iowa

Phyllis ahead of me walking from trailer back to stage 1

In Stage 3 - this housed kitchen which served terrific food
at very reasonable prices.

Had ice cream on cherry pie one noon.  

One night we had the best prime rib dinner
 - enough that we ate a meal the next noon from it, too.

This little baby was dancing with her grandpa

Don't remember his name, but I think he looks like Slim Pickens

Some of the RV's under roof

This young lady was autistic, but
her mother, father, or friends pushed her around the dance
floor in her wheel chair, moving in time to the music which she enjoyed.

There was flooding in our RV Park in South Texas where we have our mobile home and we saw videos of the water and later with water down.  Probably a little damp on the floor of our Texas Room, but we have decided not to go down there.  Appeared to be an inch or so up on the wall of the Texas Room from video one neighbor took (he had taken a video while water was up and said he was sure the water was 6" to a foot high at our place) but with the inch or so can't think that it is too bad inside.

Will close and get back to working with the videos.

More later, Lynn

Standing in the area of above picture this morning, looking back at our trailer

Lots of RV's -- some in cattle barns, some on grass, some on rock.

 This was the jam we went to Tuesday evening.

 Pictures of some of the performances Thursday 

Terry Smith - who performed in The Valley for us

We went into Lincoln Thursday morning to do some shopping.  Went to
Sam's Club where talked with brother Roger for a bit.

Thursday evening we went about 5 miles west of Wahoo to the Starlight Ballroom for dance on wooden floor and two different bands performed.

Today starts the full program where they will have three stages running all day today and tomorrow with different performers every half hour or so.  Understand more than 50 performers or groups are attending.
