November 2, 2012. Harper, Texas. Plugs.

A year ago we decided to bring rental trailers to the ranch so some  relatives and friends could stay at the ranch for our 55th celebration, which will be held in October, 2013.  It was son David's suggestion and it has been well received.  Ken and I thought it  unfeasible, but after meeting with Lisa at the trailer dealer,  it can be done, and now it will be done.  The trailers are ordered.

Again last year, we met with the electrician.  In order to plug in 14 trailers, we needed more electricity, so Pat has been working to get it done, requiring a new pole and underground electrical lines snaking around the front lawn.  Today, Ken and I met with Pat to position the trailers on the ranch, so he can finally install the outlets for the trailer plugs.  He convinced us to first install the trailers so he will know exactly where to install the outlets.   The three of us placed all these trailers around the front of the ranch.  They can all fit.   When the trailers arrive and are put in place,  he will come and install the plugs.  It makes sense but it certainly makes me anxious.

The trailer place will deliver the trailers two at a time, four a day.  Pat is fearful that the driver might not be able to back the trailer into a tight spot that we selected.  He has promised that as soon as the first four arrive, he will come and install the plugs.  Truth be told, he is right.  The trailers will be leased for a week, starting October 9, 2013, so the trailers must arrive beginning on the Friday or Saturday.  It is my anxiety that is the problem.  I like all items on the checklist put into the completed category, and here I am agreeing to wait until the last moment for the electrical outlets.   His way is better, probably, but it does make me nervous.
