East Bound

We left our beautiful spot outside Knoxville and made a 2 1/2 hour trip due east, with great stops along the way, to a more beautifuller (my word) spot just near Pineola, NC. Our new campground is a quiet “over 55” community with old men lurking on every patio visually inspecting your RV backing and setting up capabilities. I’m always game for insider tips on how “they would do it” and appreciate each and every recommendation. We only hope that they don’t change the rules to “80 and older” because we would be the only ones that would have to leave.

Everywhere we have been since arriving in this part of the country has been green and the locals love to mow their lawns and acreage…it almost seems like it’s a competition. The weather has been wonderful with average temps between 55-75. Today we actually were able to see that thing they call “rain”, poor Little Al didn’t know what was hitting him. As a reminder to those in Texas, “rain” is when gray clouds appear in the sky and water falls from them in heavy drops…crazy, right?

Today is Joanie’s birthday so her “don’t do anything special” will become a month long celebration of life for the little beauty that God dropped in my lap. Golf…pickleball…beach time…dinners…concerts…house searching…more to come…
