Oh, yes! The story just keeps getting better and better. We are currently attending a rally in Imperial California. The group is called Escapees so the rally is called the Escapade. This is a rather large group. Perhaps 1,200 RV’s and over 2,000 people attend. Much of it is serious stuff as we all attend classes on Cummins Diesel Maintenance or Tech Talk for Ladies Only. But there is a lot of fun stuff to do also. Kraft’s to learn, help with genealogical research and entertainment each night.

Last night was the “Ham-o-Rama.” This is essentially a talent show and you get to perform before a crowd of over 2,000 wildly cheering people. Yes, I did get my butterfly’s flying in formation long enough to stand up there and belt out Leroy Van Dike’s Auctioneer Song. It was great fun, and I can see how the thunder of applause can become addictive.

My brief flirtation with fame has not been without its moments of disappointment. I hung around after the show quite a while last night and I was not approached by a single agent with an offer of a road tour or record deal. Again this morning, I dramatically swept open the curtains on the front windows of the coach expecting at least a dozen adoring fans to be screaming and dancing for joy to see me…..nothing. Ah, well, I will quietly work on my new theme song, “‘Oh, Lord it’s Hard to be Humble’, when you’re perfect in every way. I can’t wait to look in the mirror, I get better looking each day”

Well things have wound down here in Imperial CA. Now we are making our way over to Anaheim and Disneyland.

Judy and I send our love to all.
