Sunny

What a difference a day makes. Today dawned sunny and bueatiful. No I didn't see the sn come up. But it did wake me up. It was shining through the dome over the shower. We got up and had breakfast. I made a couple of calls about campgrounds. One place was full and the other was answering machine. We wanted to go to the outlet mall and I wanted to go to camping world. On the way my phone rang and it was from one campground that I had called. They were full but gave me the number of another one. So happened that just a ways up the road was the campground. It is up by Foley which is about 12 miles from here. They had two lots open We are going to stay there for one month. They have full hookups cable wifi pool laundry. It is a real pretty place. Even have a dog walk. So Fri we will move. I was worried that we wouldn't find anything around here and have to move over to Mobile. This afternoon some friends of ours who fulltime in a bus Harry and Darlene picked us up and we went out to eat. They ar leaving for Florida the 1st of the month. We went to a resturant that had a seafood buffet. It was half price for seniors so wasn't too bad. I wouldn't have paid the full price. I must admit though that it was good. We stuffed ourselves. Then Harry drove around and showed us some of the places to see. That really was nice of him. They have been down here i think for about 4 years at least. They know the area pretty well. We will go out to the beach one of these days. The sand is so white. Well That is about it for tonight. Tomorrow we are heading for Fort Morgan. There are 3 forts around this area that we want to see. We will have a month to see it all.

Rain Again

We had another day of rain. We met some friends this morning at ryans for breakfast. They had the buffet. It was really good and only 4.99. Omlet station and anything that you could want. We were so full when we left. We then went to the laundry. That took a long time the one big washer we used wouldn't rinse and spin properly so we had to redo them in two other washers. So that put us about 20 minutes behind the other one. It stopped raining somewhat when we got to the trailer so carried them in and Thelma put them away. We then drove to a couple of campgrounds to check them out. We still have not found a place around here. I will call a couple of places tomorrow and see if they have any openings. It has been in the 60's the last few days. Even with the rain it is not too bad. It is 58 right now at 9:43 CST. Thelma has gone to bed and I am about ready too. Will walk the little boy and then watch the news. Tomorrow we will do some tourist thing's. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Windy in the south

I do mean Windy. I had put the awning out yesterday afternoon. It had a lot of water wrapped up in it so thought it would be good to air it out. I should have rolled it up before we went to bed. Didn't. Early this morning it started banging. I went out and tightened it down some but it still kept rattleing. Finally after light Thelma and I went out and got it rolled back up. Had to try it twice. So it will stay rolled up while we are here. It is to close to the water to put it out. We don't kow for sure where we are going to move to. I have called a couple of places and they have not returned my calls yet. One place over by mobile had room so may head over there if we can't find something around here. Guess that's about it for tonight. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Gulf Shores

We got to gulf shores this afternoon. It is really nice. The only problem is we cannot stay for a whole month. They do not have sites for a full month. So we are staying a week and then may have to move on. Will do some checking this week for another campground around here. If we can't find something we will probably move to Florida somewhere. We have plenty of time. We will start some sightseeing tomorrow as it is supposed to be nice. It is 57 here now. Out in shirt sleeves. It is supposed to cool off some next week. Tommorw I will get some pictures and put on here sometime this week. Guess that's about it for tonight. Later Ron Thelma and Eli

Moving Tomorrow

We will be moving on tomorrow. We have enjoyed a little downtime here. We received 3 inches of rain last night. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. We got a little wind last night. It woke me up so it must have been pretty good. Eli had a heck of a time with the water. He doesn't like it anyway. We will not move after we get to the state park as we will pay for a month as it is too expensive paying by the week. We should be able to get quite a few channels as we will be right across the bay from Mobile and not too far from Pensicola, Fl They have a Madi gra parade in mobile coming up. We might try and take that in. We went to Wally world this afternoon. Went to a cici's pizza for lunch. It's not too bad. Wouldn't want it all the time. After the state park we will probably go to Fla for about 3 weeks or so. We need to head to S C for a rally on the 17 of March. Guess that's about it for tonight More tomorrow. Will put some pictures on later. Ron Thelma and Eli my buddy

Rain go away

Well the rain has arrived. it started this afternoon and has not let up. I put the rain guage out this afternoon just when it started to sprinkle. Will see how much we get. We will leave here on Fri morning and go to Gulf Shores State Park. The other place we had thought maybe we would go to is full. So the park it is. The only thing is they don't have cable like the other one. Thanks for telling about Huntsville Bob. Didn't know about that. When we stopped in the visitor center at the rest area they were closed for MLK day. So couldn't get any info. Tomorrow we are going to a Wally world. If it isn't raining to hard. Well that's about it for tonight. From rainy Montgomery Ron Thelma and Eli

Montgomery ,Al

We are in Montgomery,AL. We are at the wood's rv park. It is a passport park which gives us a half price. We are going to stay here for a couple of days. There is a front coming in with rain. I don't have to been any where right now so we are staying put till it is over. We will leave on Fri and get to gulf shores then. We probably won't do much here other that rest up. The drive today was pretty good. We made quite a few stops. Once for fuel and lunch. Stopped at a flying J. Had the lunch buffet. They had the best chicken. Thelma snuck a little bit of white meat for eli. He acted like he hadn't had anything to eat for a week. He can be such a little piggy. The missle has something to do with Huntsville. Not sure if they make them there or not. Will have to do some searching on that. The town of Altmont is not very big. It is just inside the Al state line. Thats about it for tonight.
