Winchester, VA

  About 300 miles farther north we stopped in Winchester, VA. 
  Pat & Vern are here for 6 weeks and we couldn't pass up the chance to spend another couple of days with them.
  We stayed at  Candy Hill Campground for 2 nights.  It's a Good Sam's park.  We were reminded of how expensive everything is the farther north we got.  It was a nice park, but we are spoiled from living in South Texas.
  

 

This Angry Bird is actually a large round hay bale

 


When we got home this is what I found when I opened my closet.  Must have been that shirt I bought in VA. LOL!

So, Scotty had another job to do...

We added a shelf.  It's much better now.  I'm glad it broke. (shhh)

 We arrived in West Haven, Vermont on Monday.  The grass was a foot high.  Scotty got the mower going and started cutting.

The first time in 3 years that I have been here when the lilacs were in bloom.

I made this wreath to put on my Dad's grave for Memorial Day.

North Carolina

We spent a night in Fair Play, SC at Carolina Landing which is part of the 1000 campgrounds resorts.  The sites are privately owned and some are put in a pool to be rented out.  The  ones at this campground were not anything to make you want to purchase one.  Ours was small and slanted.  But we were able to set up and it worked out fine for the 1 night we were there.

Chris & Michealann met us for lunch in Asheboro.  It was a wonderful visit.

We plan to leave here on Friday.

Georgia

We arrived in Macon, GA on Sunday and parked our motor home in my cousin Even's yard.  This is the best campground in the area.   I love my Georgia relations.

Our Last Few Days In Florida

 We have enjoyed the time we had here with our friends Jim & Linda.  We sure do miss them in The Valley.

We had a great lunch with great friends

                            With heavy hearts we will leave Welaka in the morning.  Looking forward to the next time we are together.

Another Great Day

  It was another Great day here in Florida with our friends Jim & Linda.  We both are so happy that we are able to be here spending time with them. 
  Today we all went to lunch at Corky Bell's Seafood & Steaks
                                                       
                                                                   

We ate outside on the deck

This Weeks Project

  Scotty and Jim have been working on some projects together. Jim's hot water heater and a switch for their fireplace.  And for us....  a new TV.  We traded a campers hammock for this 36" TV.  Jim's son-in-law gave him a new one so it needed a new home.

Ta da! 

St Augustine

                     Today we went to the beach and to St Augustine.  It was a beautiful sunny day.

Together Again

  It was 294 miles from Dothan, AL to Welaka, FL.  It was an easy drive. However, since we drove into another time zone (EST) it took an extra hour.  I do not like Eastern time.  It gets dark earlier, light earlier, the good TV shows are on late.  Wait a minute... What good TV shows?  Anyway, I like the Central time zone more.
  Jim & Linda were waiting for us when we arrived at Welaka Lodge & Resort.  Jim is a work camper here.  After a short tour of the grounds we could understand why they liked it so much.
  Linda made us a nice dinner and we made short work of 3 bottles of wine.  All too soon it was dark outside and time to say Good Night.
                                                             

Lots of wild flowers to enjoy on the drive down

Jim & Scotty tired to set up our dish.  They did not succeed

Alabama to Florida & Good Friends

  After we left Houston we drove a couple of days and made our way to Dothan, AL.  Pat and Vern Shearer are staying there and since it had been a month since we last saw them, we stopped for a couple of nights at Pecan Point RV park.  
  Soon after we were set up, they came over and picked us up for dinner.  We went to the Olive Garden and had a good time catching up.  Then they drove us around and showed us the sights.
Then we went back to our Motor home and had a few drinks and a lot of laughs.  It was so good to see our friends.
  On our second day there, Pat & I went shopping while the guys just hung out.  We had dinner out again and then it was time to say "Good Bye"
