Tuesday & Wednesday, December 27th & 28th - Living Desert & Lowes

 Tuesday - Highlights were more nice weather, excellent pizza from place just down the street from the campground & the light show at the The Living Desert.

The clouds during the early afternoon were "feathery" looking.


3 hours later they changed to look foreboding. I think it was raining in the mountains when I took the 2 photos below. We got a small amount of rain overnight.

The light show at the Living Desert was interesting. Lots of people. It started at 6PM we old people are ready for bed by then, its already been dark for over an hour.
Wednesday -  When I tried to pull out the drawer containing our silverware it wouldn't come out. I thought something must be lodged so that it was hitting the frame. I got a fork out of the dishwasher and a plate out of the cupboard and proceeded fixing and eating eggs and Smokey Links for breakfast. After breakfast I played with the drawing some more, the playing included some serious pulling on the handle. I finally realized that it wasn't something in the drawer that was the problem, the bottom of the drawer had dropped and was wedging against the frame. It was easy to push the bottom up and remove the drawer.
After a trip to Lowe's for 2 bar clamps and some glue and I glued the bottom back in place and added some half inch quarter round to help hold it in place.

Clouds are interesting. I took the photo below while standing in the Lowe's parking lot. There were some clouds peaking over the mountains but the low ones in front were the most interesting. 
The drawer is back in the cabinet. We will reload it tomorrow afternoon, after the glue had 24 hours to dry/cure.
A couple of blocks from Lowe's, on a corner empty fields all around, was a guy selling Tamales. I couldn't resist. I bought a couple of pork ones for me and a chicken one for Kathy. Mine were great but hers was to hot for her. It will be interesting to see if I end up with food poisoning tomorrow 😀. If I don't I may make another trip for Tamales in a couple of days.

The highlight of campground activity today was a BIG bucket truck and wood chipper. They cut down a good sized dead tree. The campground maintenance guys were also doing a lot of tree trimming today. The campground needs it. If it had been done several years ago the stress on the trees would have been much less.

During my walk around the campground this afternoon I noticed: 3 plates from Canadian provinces, 2 from Washington, 1 from Wyoming, 1 from Idaho, 1 from Missouri (our neighbors who have a home near Branson), several from Arizona, 1 from Utah, and a lot from California.

God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
