Monday, July 23-Day 8

We went out to visit Dad today. He was asleep and we didn't want to wake him. We had a longer visit with him yesterday.

Then we went to see Mom. Yesterday she was in bed, today she had been wheeled to a TV room where she and the 2 others there were sleeping with the TV on.

Blaine played one song on the piano and she watched, but there is very little recognition. She would 'leave' us and try to go back to sleep. At is very depressing to see both of them so withdrawn.

We left and headed to Wal-Mart to try to fix our refrigerator in the parking lot. The propane would not come on. Blaine packed it last night with ice from the motel to try to keep things cool. We had the panel off and read and re-read the manual on what to trouble-shoot. He walked by and asked if we were having trouble. He said he was in that big class A motor home and might be able to help.

Seems we had spider webs and stuff in the line and all we needed to do was blow in the hole with a straw. A lot of little stuff came out and it worked. We figured all of the washboard roads had dislodged the fluff. He was an answer to prayer. He and his wife are entertainers and just wanted us to go to You Tube and add our self to their view count. Their target is 5,000,000.


The rest of the day was uneventful. Yeah! We replaced most of the food that might have spoiled and I was able to find a copy of Harry at the Target in Streetboro, Ohio.

We saw a coyote cross the road near our campground.
It may have been after this giant pig at our campground.l It surely would have won a 4H size prize. The pig is the pink one.

Thanks for identifying which one was the pig :)

You should have gotten the Harry Potter on cd, like Steve. Then you could listen to it together!

Did you see he is already finished with the book...what a stinker he is.
