Oops!

When I opened the slide here in Patterson, California, I failed to notice the little table next to the couch had fallen forward. It got caught between the sofa and the slide, causing the finished edge frame to break. It had happened two years ago in North Dakota, so it was already weak. Cary had already driven six hours today, so he really wasn't planning on repair work. We had to go to Walmart for torx bits (a new word to me), and more than two hours later he is still not happy with the results. But we are not going home to get it fixed.

On a happier note, he had been looking forward to the KFC down the street from the campground, and it was still there. Supper was easy--chicken for him and leftovers for me. It is cooling off pretty nicely and I have wifi. Yesterday at the Sierra Trails campground near California City there was no wifi at our site, but there was a very cold swimming pool, which really hit the spot! The lady who runs the campground is an active seamstress, donating lots of projects to airment at nearby Edwards Air Force Base. The library behind the office is also a rec/sewing room so I got to see stacks of quilt squares and finished lap quilts. The front office offers some of her crafts from crochet and beads to painted rocks.
