A little trouble on Thursday

Hmmm.  We had no water when we got up this morning around 6:30.

Knock! Knock!

Who's there?

Oh, guess one of us should answer the door.  Don jumped up first from the computer.  I was snuggled into his big comfy recliner reading my devotional and Bible.

Mary, from the street behind us and the lady who sent me the video of Il Divo, the four tenors singing Amazing Grace (I haven't posted it here yet, I'm slipping... >>click here<<), came in and told us of the excitement during the night.  I hesitate, because I don't want to embarrass anyone, but we ask for prayer for this situation.  It seems that an elderly gentleman in the park thought someone had told him to leave the park, so he followed this "person," and drove his class A motor coach off his site .... with jacks down, slide-outs OUT, and all utilities still connected.  He got as far as the corner and ran into a post protecting the curve, and stopped at the next stop sign because he said the person he was following went into the office, so he was waiting for him.  His brother and sister-in-law live in the park, also, in a different location, so when Don found him this morning, he was with them and still very confused, but refusing to go to the doctor.  Said he had fired his doctor.  Don spoke calmly to him and he was smiling when Don left.  It's now up to the park management and his family as to what the next step is.  As I requested, please pray for this situation.

Now we know why we had no water, but it wasn't long before this awesome park maintenance crew had our water back on.  We are so thankful that no one was hurt and no other property damaged.

Even though I have been inside most of the time trying to avoid whatever is floating in the air that my body doesn't like, it has been beautiful weather here for a few days.  Yesterday was a beautiful day. Temps are in the low 80's.  The mountains look like they've been burned, but it's only the shadow made bye the clouds. Today, it air was so clear we could see the mountains behind the park that are near Picacho.  I ventured out late on my bike to ride down to Snookie and Bob's. 

Update on the elderly man from this morning: 

Management has parked his motor coach back in his site.  That's all we know.

It's getting dark early here, 6:30-7:00, something that's hard to get used to.

Tonight, we watched Nebraska come from behind to beat Missouri, at home, in pouring rain.  It's rained five inches during the game and there were gobs of people sitting in the stands.  (Isn't that an oxymoron? Sitting in the stands.  Shouldn't they be called "sits?"  Guess it depends on who's playing and how exciting the game is.  Some people never sit down at a football game.)

Thanks for your prayers, emails and phone calls. 

We are so blessed.
