Workamper-Sikeston, MO

Our second workamper position was in Sikeston, MO. We work five hours a day for two days and have two days off. Betty is in registration/office and Jerry in maintenance.

One of the perks of working in an RV park is meeting so many very interesting people. One couple had just purchased their first motorhome and was driving it back to CO. They were going to soon become fulltime RVers and convert their motorhome to run on vegetable oil.

This area hardly gets snow but we had a couple of inches last week. Schools closed and the snow was all gone the day after it snowed. We've had some bad rain/wind storms this winter. One time the fifth wheel started to rock and roll and we thought we had better leave and go to the building here in the park. Fortunately, we were okay and just a little damage in the park.

There is a restaurant here called Lambert's Cafe, home of the throwed rolls. Lots of food and delicious, big, hot rolls. If you're in the area be sure to visit it, you'll be glad that you did. Be sure to go real hungry because they give you huge portions and keep coming to the table offering you more food like fried okra, fried potatoes, and macaroni and tomatoes. The drinks are served in big mugs.

We found a couple of country dance groups in Cape Girardeau which is 28 miles away. We've gone to some of their dances. They were very nice and taught us some new dances and we taught them a couple. That's the nice thing about country dancers, they always make you feel at home.
