Home Again

 It is nice to be home, and stay home for a while. The house looked and smelled clean thanks to Marybeth and a friend. She even left food in the refrigerator....so sweet! It took us a day and a half to unload the RV and I am still doing laundry and getting caught up on the mail. Taxes are next....maybe next week.

Gus is happy to be home although he still insists on a walk each day. He also found his bark again. He doesn't bark much at all when we are traveling in the RV. 

Over the next several weeks, Jim will work on finding the water leek in the RV and trying to fix the Jeep engine. He thinks he has diagnosed the engine problem so the next step will be to get a new part and replace the one not working.

I will be busy tutoring, looking for new kitchen flooring and finding a new range I will be happy with. 

Goodbye for now....until our next RV adventure.

Visit with Cadys

 Monday we drove up into Jefferspon National Forest on a narrow 2 lane road to visit friends Jim & Pat Cady.

 They are long time friends who we have not seen in many years. They live on Upper Craig's Creek Rd, about 25 miles from the VT Stadium. Their farm is larger than I remembered and we got a tour of it while there. Mostly we just enjoyed catching up and reminiscing times spent together over the years.  The four of us had dinner at Bibos Italian Restaurant in New Castle and this morning Pat fixed us a large breakfast of homemade sausage, farm fresh eggs, cured bacon, and biscuits.  We hated saying goodbye and hope it is not so long before we get together again.

On the road

 Wednesday we drove north on I-65 toward Birmingham AL. we stayed overnight at an RV Campground called YellowHammer RV Campground, just off the interstate. It was fine for one night and we had a pull-thru site....easy in and easy out. 

Thursday morning we drove the rest of the way to Jerry & Heidi's home in Murfreesboro TN. We spent a few days there visiting, enjoying the company of our niece's son Aiden who is 18 months old, part of the time.

 They bought a camper trailer so we will meet up later this summer in East Tennessee for about 4 days. 

Today we are headed east toward Virginia. We will stay overnight at Rocky Top Campground just south if Blountville off I-81. 

Our site at Rocky Top was level, which is amazing since the campground is very hilly. It was fine for an overnight stop but we would not have wanted to stay longer and may never stay there again. Gus would be happy with that as there were very few grassy areas for him to "check out".
