Happy St. Patrick's Day

We are parked at Dad's RV Park in Victoria, Tx. Nice little park and close to everything. Victoria is a historic city and claims to be the oldest city in Texas.

We arrived yesterday after about a 2 hour drive. We were following our friends that were using their GPS system and it took us through town, not the best route when towing. But it ended well with all three rigs making it to the campground without problem.

We've had a little setback though. Wednesday evening I had began to notice an ammonia smell in the 5th wheel. Thursday morning it was stronger, but since we were packing up and moving we didn't investigate. After arriving at Dad's RV Park and getting set up, I noticed that the smell was still evident. Dean didn't smell it, so I got Dale to come over and verify that there was an odor. Confirmed! Her husband said that an ammonia smell usually comes from the refrigerator when it's leaking - just what we needed to hear. We checked the temperature of the refrigerator and sure enough it was warming up. The campground recommended a RV repair shop and we called and surprisingly the service technician was here in about 2 hours. Sure enough, there was a leak. Anyway, long story short, we are now without a refrigerator until at least Tuesday. The good news is that the parts needed are under warranty, so all we will have to pay is the cost of labor. It's really an adjustment to be without a refrigerator though. Funny how we miss what we don't have!

Dean and I drove through town today looking for a church to attend on Sunday and found two so now we have to make a decision of which one. One is downtown and a older building and the other is in a housing area and newer construction. Eny, meany, miney, moe - I'll let you know. (Sure hope that is spelled right, but you get the drift - LOL)

We are planning a side trip to Goliad and to Port Lavaca/Port O'Connor this coming week. Tomorrow is Market Days for Victoria with approx. 150 vendors in attendance and we are planning on going to see what they have to offer. Not sure what else we may do while in this area. Stay tuned for coming attractions........
