Day 7 - Thursday, December 5 - Still at Lakeshore in Iuka

 The parts we need didn't come in today so we will be here until at least Saturday AM. If they don't come in tomorrow we may be here until Tuesday AM.

I'm so not used to cold weather. I like cool, but not this cool, I'm such a wuss. Today's high was 46, at midnight last night. At 5 PM its 36 on its way down to an overnight low of 18, Tomorrow the high is forecast to be 39 with a the low forecast to be 24 Friday night/Saturday morning. Then it warms back up to more normal temperatures here. Saturday & Sunday a high of 50 and Monday a high of 66.

We sat around the coach most of the morning, just did some reading. We did move the coach down the street to a campground so that we could dump our waste tanks. The places where we park at Lakeshore RV only have water and electric connections. I think Bryan, the guy who owns Lakeshore RV, also owns the little campground down the road. When I was here for a week last spring I stayed at the campground. He only charged me $20/night. I think there are 7 sites. The only empty one is sloped enough that it would require some levelling blocks to get set up. It's fine for just backing in, connecting to the sewer tap and dumping.

We went into Iuka for the lunch buffet at the Farmhouse Restaurant, $9.95 including a drink. Menu was a basic salad bar, pulled pork, a rice dish, mashed potatoes, baked beans, deep fried squash slices (they were good) a roll, corn bread and apple cobbler for desert. Neither of us got the baked beans but everything else was good. 

After lunch we went to the Post Office, so that Kathy could mail an oversize envelope, and then on to the big park. There is a spring at the park where people get water. Kathy filled up a couple of bottles the other day and liked making tea with it. Today she filled up a gallon jug and a couple of bottles.

After the water stop we headed to Walmart and bought me a new electric blanket. The controllers on my old one burned out last week. I will be using the new one tonight. Kathy will probably be sleeping on top of the covers.

We killed some more time with a stop at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store to get a gallon of milk and some chips and dip. The chips and dip are just to help relieve the boredom ☺.

Even if the parts came in we knew the coach would not be ready for us to get back in until around 4:30 so we parked downtown and people watched, sitting in the car in the sun. Actually Kathy surfed the Net on her phone and I took a nap.

We arrived back at Lakeshore RV a little after 4 PM and learned that the parts had not arrived. Fortunately our reservation in Texas doesn't start until December 15. It's free to stay here and time isn't a problem, but we have been here enough that it is getting boring.

God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours. He has blessed me. I need to be on the lookout for what He may have in store for us during our extended stay here.
