Today, we got up and found more bad news at home, more flooding at Lake Leon and water as high as 6 feet over the flood stage at Lake Cisco. The water supply was quickly being diminished, and at some point there would be no water. The requests for bottled water began -- The community center and a local church became distributors for water, and the donations came rolling in from all over -- Brookshires, WalMart, Home Depot, and many others donated truckloads and pallet loads of water for the townspeople and any who were without. Pray for Cisco! They will need it to get though this difficult time.
Mid-morning, I walked up to the Basswood RV Resort office to see if I could get some info on the Wifi, and picked up a few items from their well-equipped store. On the way back I stopped and visited with some folks, but then I had to get back to work.
Tony went around and visited a while, then ended up going touring the area with Jay and Stella to see the house where Jesse James was killed, and the Pony Express Museum. He said it was interesting, and had a good time, especially not having to drive!

This is the where the bullet that killed Jesse James went into the wall.

Friday night was the meet and greet, where we got to share some dutch-oven-cooked desserts with ice cream. They were amazing!
It was nice to meet everyone, and then I played some dominoes with the group (we had two tables of 5 going) until about 11PM. I was rusty, and only won one hand. But had a good time.

The final result!
