I set the alarm for 8 AM so that we would be up and ready to leave Roanoke to go to McKinney. My appointment at MCD Innovations was in the afternoon when the workers got back from lunch. We got to the shop at before noon and checked in. An employee, Jim, helped us park and hook to electric. His wife came around a little later and filled out a work order. We had one blind in the bedroom that needed re-tensioning and three others in the living area that we couldn't adjust the height on, they would either go up too far or work their way up out of reach while traveling. The repair employees didn't come around until about three. They took the blinds out and into the shop. It turns out our blinds are an older generation of the MCD products and needed several parts replaced. The repaired blinds were reinstalled by 4:30.

We decided to go on to the Lighthouse RV Park. By the time we got ready to travel and drove the 6 miles it was after five and the office was closed. Gerri called Alice and she met us by the office and guided us to a pull though site near theirs. We will go to the office tomorrow.

We visited with Alice and Keith until almost dark. We met Alice and Keith Kerslake at Lake Texoma last year and visited them at Lake Havasu City in January.

I finished hooking up the water and sewer while Gerri warmed up the last of our leftovers. The weather was warmer today than it had been up to now on this trip and the air conditioners were still running at 10:00 and I had them set at 80 degrees.

We hooked up with Brandon and Vanessa for awhile on Skype before their bedtime.
