Days 69 & 70 - Sunday & Monday, January 18 & 19 - Cowboy Church & Still No Hot Water

Sunday Kathy went to church at the campground but didn't feel like going up to the Cowboy Church. I didn't go to church at he campground but did go to Cowboy Church. 

When I came in the door I could tell that they were expecting a lot of people. There were 2 rows of folding chairs set up behind the regular chairs, that increases seating up to around 290.

An awards ceremony was the reason for the extra seating, although I think attendance was around 225 a couple of weeks ago. During the years the youth compete in a series of contests. The contests are geared towards "ranch" operations. The youngest age group, the kids in the front row at the left. There age group is split between kids who ride on horses that are led through the events and those who control their horse as they ride through the event.

The whole group of events is called the Buckle Series. The winner of each age category gets a belt buckle. You can see some of them in the photo below. Chris, our Pastor, is the guy on the right, wearing the cowboy hat. Tracy, his wife, is the lady at the right. One of their sons if the tall buy in the back row. One of their daughters is the little girl in the front row.

The couple in this rig pulled in Sunday afternoon. They are from Amarillo, TX. They haul the car and the side by side in the trailer. I wished I would have seen them get in the car and unload it.

Our "neighbors" in the big rigs next to us left Monday. We now again have empty spaces on both sides of us.

This morning I called Steve and told him about our water heater problems. He came over, looked at the situation and confirmed that we need a new water heater. I ordered on from Amazon, it is supposed to be here tomorrow, $700. RV stuff is expensive. Tomorrow I'm supposed to go back to Edinburgh and have the repaired jacks installed. Wednesday Steve is supposed to install the new water heater. I will be happy, Kathy will be even happier to have hot water again.

Weather has been cool for down here. Yesterday the high/low was 64/38, today's were 71/42.

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