Middle of Georgia

Hey everyone. We packed up and left AL yesterday. Our time was fun there and we'll go back that way in the fall as we head back to toward TX. We are at a park in the middle of nowhere about 18 miles from I-75 and about as hour south of Steph. We don't have to be at her place till later in May and with her work schedule we wouldn't see her much if we were any closer so we're taking our time getting to her.
This is a very nice, quiet place. There's about 50 sites and it's full hook up. It's also a PassPort park so the rate for a week is very low. All 8 nights gets the discount rate. There's about 10 other RV'ers here all spread out around the park. The only traffic I've seen except for our neighbors car was the host golf cart and a tractor in a field behind us past a cluster of trees. There no street light shinning in Reid's window at night this week so that's very good. We are pulled in facing a nice lake with ducks and geese swimming on it. I've been told there's bass in the lake but I don't have a fishing pole. We're going to stay here at least a week and might decide to stay the second week too. Of course we're not too far from the important stuff, there was a walmart and restaurants about 6 miles back so when I need a shopping or food fix I'll be about to get one. It's a nice change of pace after the spring break traffic all over Gulf Shores.
We were a little surprised at the cool temps. We've lived in GA before and getting to 46 overnight last night was a tad of a surprise but it warmed up nicely today for us. After tonight our lows should stay in the mid 50's but the cooler days and nights means I can keep my windows up longer.

Next Stop

Our time in Gulf Shores is winding down. We'll be leaving in the morning for GA. We've had a blast here and hung out with some more "E" friends. W&G arrived last week and checked out the area. They've moved on out already. T&J will be here till May sometime before heading on. This is a nice area for spring and the weather was great except for Saturday when the storms came rolling through but luckly for us the rough stuff was north of us, we had some thunderstorms and heavy rain but that was it and only about 3 days total did we have any rain at all.. Good for us bad for farmers...
Not a lot of plans today, we're going to met for one more Shrimp Basket lunch with Tim and Jean before we leave town and the rest of the afternoon will be spent putting things away. We're stopping somewhere overnight and then on to a town called Americus for a week. We've never been there so I don't know what's to do there except the rv park is on a golf course..wonder who found this park...
that's all for now.

Another great week

Times does fly. We've had another great week in Gulf Shores. I have a walmart approx 4 miles from me north and south..so I have my choice when I pull out on the the highway to go left or right. Right is toward the beaches so it's usually crowded going that way but who cares right. We saw Tim and Jean a couple times this week. On Tues we drove into Pensacola with them to Famous Dave's. Got to visit Dave when we're this close. Reid went golfing some this week and I've stayed busy shopping, reading and walking and watching baseball.
Danny got his test results back from his third of four state test for teaching so he has one test to go and another mon and a half of classes then it's a semester of student teaching and he's ready to begin his career. Yeah for him. We heard this week that our neice is having a baby so that was wonderful news. Steph's surgery is getting closer and we'll be headed toward her in a couple weeks and she and I get to pal around for a while..
I'm getting my hair done on Monday and I'll be taking Lady in for her spa day as soon as I can get an apt. As you can see busy busy busy...take care everyone
oh yeah....prayfully and thankfully Larry has some good medical news this past week.
G&W are on the move and heading our way...N&B will be getting on the road next week for their trip north.. I'm always praying for safe travels cause our friends and us spend so much time on the roads.

Friends Fun and Food

Hey everyone Happy April. We've got no complaints on the weather. We've had sunshine for well over a week with no rain and a cool breeze coming off the gulf and it's been great. Reid has Jimmy Buffet on the radio in the evening and something on the grill most nights. He bought a new grill before we left TX and he's been trying all kinds of foods. It's now baseball season and we can sit outside and watch the Braves play while Reid grills.. We won our first game and now only 161 more to go.
We had a blast with Paul and Rosemary and hated to see them leave so soon after we arrived but we've got plans to see then a couple more times in '10. Tim and Jean are still here so we see then several times a week plus our weekly (at least) meeting at the shrimp basket. We went there on Monday night. We also tried the Mellow Mushroon again with them on Sat. they hadn't been before and really liked it too. I want to try a couple more places while we're here but we've got plenty of time.
I went golfing again and it was not pretty. I hadn't been in a long time and I can tell it's one of those things that requires lots of practice. I've got someone lined up to go with weekly once we're back in Tx so I think I'll wait till I can go more often and try to learn.
I can't finish till I say Go Duke...they've been my (and Danny's) team since 91 and I was so happy they won the National Championship Monday night...
