Back at Starvy Creek

 86º with bright sunshine alternating with clouds here at Starvy Creek Bluegrass Festival Campground - some 40 miles northeast of Springfield, Missouri at 4:00 pm on Wednesday.

We made ham sandwiches and with some other food items we had with us we had sort of a picnic in Don & Vicki's room Monday evening

At right is photo of the south wing of Chateau Girardeau.  Don & Vicki are on the first floor at the left of this photo, on the back side of the building.  The room we stayed in is at the west (Right) end of the wing on the fourth floor, last window to the right.





Couple photos of our place and one from the balcony looking north onto the parking lot.






We said our goodbyes about 9:30 yesterday morning to Don & Vicki.  Vicki was tearful and wanted us to stay.  Don was non-committal.
At left is photo of some of the cotton fields we drove by on the Delta Area at the south end of Missouri.  We also saw some rice fields.

I will add something here--a bit unusual.  On Sunday the "check engine" light on the pickup came on.  Was on the rest of the day and Monday morning.  I took it in to the Chevrolet dealer, with it still on.  Waited about 20 minutes to get into the shop to line up them looking at it, and as I stopped by the gal with the clipboard--the light went out.  Go Figure!  And, it hasn't been on since.  At least it didn't cost anything.  Last time the "check engine" light was on it cost almost $200 to replace a sensor.


     Will try to post some the next few days.  Campers are coming in hot and heavy today and looks like might be a good sized group.  Think they can handle something between 200 and 300 RV units here.  The three days of entertainment starts tomorrow.

Thought For The Day – When I look in the mirror and see the gray hair the wrinkles and the sagging skin, I think they sure don’t make mirrors like they used to!
