Well as all good blogger's I have missed a few days, it is catchup time.

First it's Happy Memorial Day to Everyone!!!

We got to Sedalia on Friday 22 May and got set up. Friday night I woke up to a hissing noise in the area of the bath room. I found that we had a water leak! I grabbed a flashlight and out to the water connection compartment and when I opened the door I was showered with water. A brass connection had broken and was spraying water in the compartment. We are lucky it was all outside. I was able to fix it right then and back to bed. OH! did I mention it was 2:00 AM.
Saturday was a day of registration and as Donna says for me to go around and Yak with the people we met in Eureka Springs in April. I did a real good job of that and also met some other real nice people and bent their ears also. I started the morning out sitting outside and having my coffee. At 8:00am the RV's started rolling in for the day 200 plus is what we were told. The pictures show our view before and after the big move in. We were real lucky though because they left plenty of space between us and the next RV and others were not so lucky. The vendor market center opened today and we spent time going through all the booths. We ordered our Escapees badges and will be able to pick them up Sunday. We also found a screen that covers the front windshield on the inside and stops 80 % UV and will allow you to see out but not in during the daylight hours. We brought it home and installed it right away and boy is it nice to have the front open and nobody able to look in. We also set up with a windshield repair man to come out to the RV and fix our rock pecks on Monday. Later we found an authentic Mexican restaurant and was it ever good. Yes I ate to much. All in all we had a busy day, but very enjoyable.
Sunday started the real nice, got my coffee and out went outside to sit and enjoy the morning and low and behold the local news paper had delivered the Sunday paper what a nice surprise. I was able to sit and read the paper and enjoy the beautiful morning. Watched the big move in again today also we were told that another 150 Plus RV's were due in. Then we were off to the Market center to pick up or badges and see what else we could find that we could not live with out. We went through an area they call the row, it is were all the escapees chapters from around the US and Canada set up booths to encourage people to come to there area and visit. We had a great talk with the people at the Christian Fellowship BOF Org. (Birds of a feather) they have morning services every morning and are a great group. We joined this organization. Then at 2:00PM we had a newcomers briefing and about 3-4 hundred met for that. We met the couple that are co-founders of SKP (escapees) John and Kay Peterson. Next we had the opening ceremony and lots of door prizes were given. Two of our neighbors both won prizes. Home for dinner and Cooper time then back to the center for the evening Door Prizes and a concert by the group New Odyssey. What a blast these three guys were great, they played thirty instruments and had a show that was just fabulous. Back home to Cooper time at around 10:00 PM. Walked Cooper and chatted with neighbors till 10:30 the in for some TV till crashing at around 11:30 Late for this OLD GUY.
Monday start of all the seminars lots to chose from. and once again we are blessed with the RAIN!! Called by the Window repair man this morning To wet to fix. Looking forward to a big day again.
