Day 10 and still counting...



Cabin being repaired (near lake)



Office/showers/laundry near camper

Traffic on highway



 It's ironic to remember that when the turkey crashed through our windshield nine days ago, one of my thoughts was, "Looks like we'll have to be spending the night here."  So clueless!  At least we've had some pleasant distractions during our imposed captivity.  Remember Angie, the girl from the eye doctor's office who said we were welcome at her family's SuperBowl party?  Well, she and her husband and three kids actually came to the campground to pick us up and take us there Sunday afternoon.  We politely declined, but were obviously touched by her generosity and kindness.  By Monday morning, we certainly expected to hear that our windshield had finally arrived, but the body shop manager called at noon and said he would put a trace on it, since no one could determine what was taking so long.  Later in the afternoon, he called back to say that it was sitting on a loading dock in Mississippi, apparently because there was nowhere to deliver it here over the week-end.  Now, Mississippi is not exactly on the way from Indiana to Missouri, but we still hold out a faint hope that it will arrive back here in town by tomorrow (Wednesday).  Needless to say, our attitudes yesterday were in definite need of some positive reinforcement, but that wasn't about to happen.  So, Ken busied himself with trying to rig up our sewer hose so we could dump the "black" water tank, and then he refilled the fresh water tank.  We also had to buy another small ceramic heater and hook it up to the campsite next to ours to help keep the camper reasonably warm.  On a side note, one of the cabins in this campground was seriously damaged by a former (evicted) tenant.  It is being repaired now, and Ken went over yesterday to view the progress.  Today, he is there helping to rebuild cabinets and making other necessary "fixes", as it gets him out for a bit and allows him to do what he does best.  I am doing more laundry, and waiting for the propane gas truck to stop by, since we need another refill to keep us from freezing (more snow coming tonight!).  The pictures show where the office/showers/laundry building is in proximity to our camper, and the cabin where Ken is working.  Oh, and one final (positive!) note:  the resort in Texas e-mailed us and said, "We're holding the site for you so there's no need to worry about that."  YAY!  (Still, it's weird to be paying 'rent' at three places, but only living at one!  But, at least we're not homeless!)  Hopefully, very soon we will be back on the road with all the other traffic that we see zooming past us on the nearby highway...
