The Odessa Files, Part II: Good friends

Odessa may not be the prettiest place, but our visit there was a great one! Not only did the Freightliner there take good care of us (and actually FIXED the airbag problem - the first thing successfully repaired by a "pro!!!"), but we had a wonderful time visiting one of Bill's best friends from high school! David Lemaster, one of his sons, Marv, and his daughter, Chyree, all treated us with exceptional hospitality - from the yummy homemade chili and stew to the great restaurants to the catch-up chats. We felt right at home - and with family!!! Thank you guys!!!!! We're looking forward to seeing you again!

Uh-oh. One of the fun surprises the snow left us... On Wed. AM, we needed to get our RV to Freightliner for repairs. But the slide-outs wouldn't slide back in! Bill had a guess as to why...and he was right!!! Climbing up on the ladder and peering on top of the slides, he found large solid chunks of ice! He was able to slide them all off, thank goodness!

Some of the ice.

Close-up: BIG chunks!

Once again walking the hallways - enroute to the principal's office?!!!

Dapper Duo.

Yana's - a cute litte restaurant that David & Marv took us to. It's in a house!

The four of us celebrating long-term friendship! (over food! what better way?!!)

More celebrating - at Venezia, a great Italian place.
(now that's how you do spumoni!!)
