Big Spring, Texas

We left Amarillo under cool, clear skies this morning. Around 0900! We had a long drive and we left a little early

This Grasshopper was in a compartment and we left him behind

I know I haven't been writing, didn't want to be a downer. The wash machine still doesn't work and getting it off of the slider is proving to be difficult. They put it there for life. But in order to see inside we need to take the back off, so it has to come off the slider.

We did buy a new faucet for the kitchen sink. It needed replacing a long time ago and it looks good. But the leak is still there and the fittings need to be soldered. Hopefully tomorrow when we get to Kerrville.

Our drive today was mostly through farm land. A lot of cotton fields with just a hint of cotton showing. We also saw some flooding. The farther south we drove the more clouds we saw. I assume from Hermine as she dumps rain over central and eastern Texas.

Twenty miles from our destination we had some sprinkles and then some rain. Jim had to set up in the rain. It was a gentle rain but he got wet. We set up and relaxed while the rain passed. We needed fuel so we went to Walmart and diesel was $2.79.

Our sunset tonight was pretty.

I finished reading Map of Bones by James Rollins. If you liked DaVinci Code you'll like this book! Very fast paced and good who done it.

Disappointment

After breakfast this morning, after getting the house ready for a repairman, Jim went over to see what time someone would be here to fix the wash machine. Well they don't work on
Sear's appliances. The wash machine is a Kenmore. So I still don't have a working wash machine. Jim got on the phone and we couldn't get anyone to come while we're here so he's made an appointment for our next stop.

After lunch we went in search of a salon so I could get my hair cut. I was beginning to look really fuzzy! We found one and less than an hour later I weighed less.

Our next stop was Barnes & Nobles, according to my Nook if I came into the cafe and showed my Nook I could get some free Godiva Chocolate! It was only three pieces but free is free.

A cold front came through and it wasn't as hot today. Once we came home Jim did some cleaning on the front of the rig. We've had some much wind that he didn't feel comfortable on the ladder.

I fixed chicken stir fry for dinner using broccoli, yellow bell peppers and onion. After dinner we went for a ride and I am out of shape. but it felt good to wheel around the campground.
