No major Problems.

We took the trailer out for it's initial cruise. All went well with no problems except for a sliding window, that is double pane, that has lost it's seal. It should be easily fixed.
We went down to a local COE campground on one of the flood control lakes that were built in the 40's & 50's in Mississippi, Lake Arkabutla. It is one of the smaller lakes, but the campground is well maintained  and we had a beautiful spot.
We were with some friends, Bill & Jackie, from the breakfast club from church. They were the only ones from our RV friends who could join us. We had a great time and beautiful but hot weather.

We had a major cold front move through here this morning. It dumped over 5 inches of rain in a few hours. We have had flash flooding and our neighbor across the road has water in his house.
We had a similar situation to this about 3 or 4 years ago. Mike had about 9 inches of water in his house then, but luckily only in the garage this time.
We are high & dry, but it looks like a river through our front yard.  It has stopped raining and the water is receding pretty fast now.

The bridge that Mike and I built this spring is doing just fine. The creek is out of it's banks but it is also going down nicely.
3 of the 4 pastures are under water, but that water is receding, too.

Sally, our cat has adjusted very well. She has become extremely friendly with me of late. She climbs up into my lap while i am sitting in my chair.
She was just up on my desk and climbed into my letter tray, but she left before I could get my camera.

Brenda has increased her volunteer time and is now involved in multiple activities. She does the soup kitchen, she now belongs to the Resurrection choir, which sing at funerals. And now is involved with the catholic food bank. She id very busy.
And she still helps me with the barn when she can. What a woman!!!!!


Ta ta for now.

Good to hear your maiden voyage went well. It takes awhile to find all the little things that need attention on a new rig.

Hope you are high and dry again.
