Day 89 - Saturday, February 7 - Cowboy Church Breakfast

 This morning some folks served biscuits and gravy for another Christmas for the Children fund raiser. Kathy was going to be busy baking pies all day and didn't go help with it. I went over and picked up a 2 Go serving for her before I left.

I went up to the Cowboy Church for Men's Breakfast at the Arena. It was great. It was a little cool, 48 degrees when I first got up, with heavy dew. It was almost perfect weather for an outside breakfast. I think it was probably near the mid 50's when we started eating, a little after 8AM. Around 25 guys attended.

These guys are scrambling eggs and making gravy for the biscuits and gravy. I think someone made the biscuits at home the night before.

This  guy was frying bacon and keeping the tamales warm.

My breakfast. Everything was awesome. 

The arena bleachers made great tables.

A good time was had by all.

Back home we went to Logan's Roadhouse for a late lunch. It wasn't a good experience. 

Around 4PM I helped Kathy transport her 12 pies up to the clubhouse, for another Christmas for the Children fundraiser. I think they charged $3 for a slice of pie and a dip of ice cream. The assorted pieces that came home with us added up to about one pie left.

Today's high was a sunny 82. A modest breeze made it quiet comfortable to sit outside. With all the cooking and sun by mid afternoon it got a little warm in the coach, but not bad enough that we turned on the AC. As I'm writing this, at 10PM, the outside temperature is 62.

A side note. I previously mentioned Merril and Maxine, full time RV'ers who have spent the last18 (I think) winters here at Lakewood, and their truck issues. The rest of the story is, they had major engine work done 3 times between the time they left last spring and their return just after Christmas. The truck went in for the 4th major engine work as soon as they got back. At Meet and Greet I asked Merril if they had their truck back yet. He said it was back and gone in less than a day. They picked it up one day last week and headed to Brownsville. Before they got out of town Merril noticed the smell of diesel. He turned around and went to the Ford dealer. The top of the engine was wet with fuel from a leaking line. They got rid of the truck and now have a Hyundai Palisade. They aren't sure what they are going to do. Right now they plan on leaving their 5th wheel her year round, and this will be their home base. They may buy a small travel trailer and use it to go north during the hottest summer months.

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