Marion: NC SKPACRE 2013 is Over

Friday morning's breakfast was "Eggs in a Bag". Each person puts raw eggs in a ziploc sandwich bag and before closing adds toppings such as cheese, mushrooms, onions, bacon bits, green peppers, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, salt or pepper.  After sealing, the bag is squished to mix the items inside, then dropped in a big pot of boiling water.  About 15 minutes later, you have the equivalent of an omelet.  Pastries, cookies, bagels, coffee and juice was also available.

Several seminars were held during the day. 4 P.M. brought another Social Hour in the Pavilion, followed by our chapter's pot luck dinner at 5:30 P.M. - lots of good food provided.  At 7 P.M., the Tom Sparks "Appalachian Music" group performed once again.

Late Friday afternoon, we received the details of the repairs that the warranty people will cover.  They say the slide problem is a missing rivet and will not cover a new lock.  They authorized an amount toward a new bed and installation, as well as an amount for the kitchen faucet replacement & labor.
The new bed will take 2 weeks to arrive, so we will have that installed in mid-May.  The faucet and slide repair will be made on Monday morning if all goes well.

Saturday morning we attended our chapter meeting. After the meeting, Selene helped with the setup for the afternoon auction for CARE   Hank went to Lowe's to find a replacement connector to get one side of the bed working again.  The auction at 2:30 was a success and we "won" some useful items while donating to a good cause at the same time.  We also won a door prize at Social Hour - Escapee dues for a year ($60 value).  We opted out of the optional catered dinner for another dinner on our own at Fatz Cafe.  The closing celebration included two large prize drawings and a film  - "The Many Faces of Old Glory" which was a well-done presentation of the history and facts surrounding the many USA flags throughout the years.

Today (Sunday) dawned wet.  At 11 A.M. we had the RV weighed and were glad to find out we're not overloaded.  Many of the rally attendees departed. Heavy rain is forecast for today and tonight. We'll be waiting here for service on Monday morning.
