October 11, 2013. Harper, Texas. The First Full Day.

All went well our first day.  We almost had a disaster when someone tripped on the dance floor knocking over a man in a chair who in turn tipped the musician's speakers almost on the head of the man who had fallen.  But Rita caught the speaker just before it fell on his head so nothing happened.  Accidents happen very quickly but just as quickly it is over.

Everyone is now living in their trailer.   The electricity has worked perfectly.  Of course, we disabled the water heater in the bunkhouse so the 8 Dickie Chicks are showering in cold water.   They are supposed to shower in their parent's showers but the girls decided they could be brave.  It has given them a certain level of status.

The skeet shooting has been a hit.  It became a gathering place for the young.  All morning and all afternoon the range was busy with many folks trying skeet shooting for the first time.  Some actually hit the targets.

The planning has worked out well with no glitches so far.   For dinner we ate Texas barbecue and our musician sang country tunes.  He was good.  More about him tomorrow.
