On the move

We moved today from Nashville to Elkmont. Al. We are in a small campground. The picture here was taken at the rest area in Al. Talk about a wide load. I cant get my blogger to work right tonight. it is writing right to left I wanted to add another picture Dont know if I can get it to work or not. Boy is this a pain in you know where. I got the picture to upload. It is at the rest area as you come into Alabama. The visitor center was closed today due to Mlk. So couldn;t get much info. Well guess that is about all for tonight. We don't have cell phone here so had to drive back into the little town to call Gary and Sherryl. Later from a different place tomorrow. Ron Thelma and Eli

On the road again

We are at Nashville country campground just north of Nashville. Got here 3:30 EST. We are on Central time now so we gained an hour or did we lose an hour. No think we gained. We are heading to Gulf Shores for about a month. Eli gets nervous when we start carring stuff out. We usually tries to go to the camper with Thelma. We tried this time to keep him in the house most of the time as the driveway was messy. I have to figure out where we are going to stay tomorrow. We traveled 402 miles today. Will not do that tomorrow. We knew we needed to get this far to be able to put water in the camper. We got all the pink stuff out. We left this morning at around 7:00. Went to the Miicky Dees and got breakfast. Then I couldn"t remember if I shut the Garage door or not. So went back by the house. The G door was shut but I had forgot to turn of the porch light. So stopped on the road and put flashers on and turned the light off. Then we we wer almost to Indy I remembered we forgot the cooler. Didn't have a whole lot in so Gary is going to put the stuff in the fridge. We will probably buy a styrofoam cheepy. That's about it for tonight. We had rain in In. and Ky. It was not a real bad drive. Later Ron Thelma and Eli

Ready to leave

We are all packed up except for my camera's and puter. They will ride in the truck when we leave in the morning. We hope to get to Nashville tomorrow night. It should be warm enough there to put water in. If we are really tired we might stay and extra day. Depends on the weather. Paul and Beth stopped in for a bit this afternoon Nice truck they have. The bicycles are some that we bought at Walmart a few years ago. We have not used them all that much as they are somewhat hard to haul. They fold in half in about the middle. They lock in place. If I think of it I will take a picture when we get down south. The pedals fold down and so does the handle bar. I have one in front of the fifth wheel and one behind. We will see how Thelma can do. I think it might help her knee. Well thats about it for tonight. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

One more day

Well we have one more day here before we leave on Sun morning. We spent most of the day putting stuff out in the camper. Gary came out this afternoon to help. He carried the boxes to the door. I carried them to the camper and Thelma put them on the cupboard and them put the stuff away. It went a lot faster that way. I brought our folding bicycles up from the shed and Gary helped me put them in the truck bed. It is a tight fit. We don't always carry them as they are hard to haul and we don't use them when just on weekends. Since we will be in one place for awhile thought we would take them. I also put our 50 amp cord in so we can run two electric heaters. We still have some stuff to put in. My cameras and puter. They will go in the truck Sun morning. I have one load of clothes to do tomorrow. That will be it. I did two loads today in between packing. Guess that's about it for now. Don't know if I will post tomorrow or wait till 'Sunday eve when we get to Nashville. Later Ron Thelma and Eli

Just about ready

Only 3 more days till we leave. We have the dining room about full of stuff to carry out Tomorrow and Fri. I am going to start some heat out there tomorrow afternoon. I took out some clothes for me yesterday Thelma has hers about ready to take out. I need to do some laundry in the next couple of days. This evening when the 5 oclock news came on they said there had been a stabbing at a high school in Fort Wayne. I looked up and thought the place looked familiar. Sure enough it was at Concordia. One 14 year old stabbed a 17 year old senior. the 14 was a freshman. This is the first time in Concordia's history of this happening. At least that is what they said. I just don't understand what is going on in this day and age. Might find out more tomorrow. Guess that is about itfor now. ELi is getting clipped in the morning. She is picking him up at 7:30. I have my appointment at 10:00 Thelma is at 1:30 Then in the evening we are going out to Logans with Gary's family. Tomorrow is a busy day. Fri and Sat will be packing day. Later Ron Thelma and Eli

Winter go away

Here is a picture from the deck We have had about 3-4 inches. I took the truck down to Decatur to get it serviced. Wasn't bad at 8:30 this morning. Took about 1&1/2 hrs to get it done. Was worse on the way home. We went out yesterday to a resturant in Waynedale. Met Jackand Barb and Bob Gurney. Had a good visit we probably sat there for 2 hrs. We will probably not see them again til in the spring. Might see Jack and Barb in Fla. Guess that'a about it for now. Will post later. Ron Thelma and Eli

Good News

Yesterday I received a letter from the Jury Clerk from district court. They have excused me from jury duty. Whopee. It was to be the week before we wanted to leave which would maybe have pressed us to get the trailer loaded. Think what we will do is get everything ready in the dining room in boxes and then haul them all out at one time. Will need to put some heat in the trailer before hand. Yes the scratch was from Brown County when some guy backed up and scratched the one fender. It wasn't too bad thank goodness. It is cold here today. Sherryl was talking about coming up today but deceided it might be too cold. I would hate for her to have trouble with Violet in the car. She will maybe try next weekend. Otherwise we won't see them till spring. We might leave on Sunday the 17th instead of waiting till Mon. hat would get us through Indy and Louisville and maybe miss some of the traffic. We will watch the weather real close and if something is gonna come in earlier we could head out earlier. The jury thing really had me worried. Guess that is about all for today. Happy New year to all who follow and may the New year bring peace and happiness to all. Ron Thelma and Little Eli
