March 16: Lake O' The Pines & Cypress Springs Lake

Our day in Longview was a day of running around. We did laundry, tried to do banking but they don't have a Bank of America, got the head light replaced in the Crossfire, ate at Cheddars and this took almost all day. Our campsite was really pretty as have been all the Corps of Engineer campgrounds.






We're now at Wayne and Sharol's although Sharol is in Wichita right now. It's been really rainy here but I hear the weather in Wichita is expected to be worse. Doing laundry here at Wayne's and eating leftovers - both his and ours. The sprinkler running in the yard is actually the septic system running out clean water - pretty cheap lawn watering system.



This was how Larry and Wayne spent the afternoon. Hooking up a new DVD/VHS box to the old system - but making it new by eliminating the old DVD box and another box which was the VHS. The hardest part was keeping track of which of the half dozen remotes actually did the work required to make the TV and satelite work. It was really quite funny at one point. They had the TV turned up loud and both of them yelling to be heard over it. I sat back and was laughing behind my hand wishing Sharol was here to witness all this. I finally took the controls from Wayne's hand and turned it down. Amazing!!! Sharol - the picture is much better - you'll like it. They're still in there yelling Video 1 and Video 2 at each other. I think it'll be OK, Sharol - I think. What could go wrong!

We'll leave in the morning for Oklahoma - hope the weather cooperates. Sharol called to let us know that Wichita is expecting 6" of snow tonight or tomorrow. Hope it doesn't move thru Oklahoma and that it's all cleared up by the time we get to Wichita.
