BEWARE, NEW MH DRIVER ON THE ROAD

We went out to eat last Friday with the group to a fish restuarant in Lucedale, Ms.  I ordered grilled catfish and baked potato.  I could not eat the slaw.  No gumming that consistency.  I must say that was the best fish I have eaten in a long time.  I had to mush it with my fork but I got the job done.  That was the first meat I had since my surgery. 

On our way out to pay we ran into Jerry and Jackie Carter, friends from our church back in Alabaster, Al.  They were visiting family.  What a delight to see them.

We played Farkle after returning from eating.  Lots of fun with the group ended Friday.
Allan and I slept in on Saturday morning as we were not driving very far. We said our good-byes and headed to Summerdale, Al. at the Rainbow Plantation.  The storms had passed and had started to dry up some so no problem with that.  We made a trip to Camping World and then went to see Jim and Lynne Parker, friends from Magnolia Springs.  They came over to see our MH and then we went out to eat.  They were leaving in the morning to pick up their new MH.  Sunday we attended church in Robertsdale where we had worked on the church in 2009.

I had leg cramps so bad on Saturday night that I got very little sleep.  On Sunday night I decided to take a muscle relaxer in hopes to get a good night sleep without any cramps.  I woke up once with a toe cramp, sat up in bed and looked at the clock.  It was 9:45.  To say the least we got a late start.

  We had to stop for gas and diesel.  When we compared our tickets we found it cost more for the Jeep than the MH.  The Jeep was totally empty $62 + and the MH $46 +.  We wish the MH only needed that much all the time.  Allan felt like this would be a good time for me to drive the MH (first time).  Everybody get out of the way!  We drove 211 miles today which was less than we had planned, but we didn't get up in time.  Oh well, what can I say.  We are retired and in no hurry.  I did keep the MH between the lines most of the time and that silly Jeep is still following us.    It drives pretty good.  I plan to drive some more tomorrow.  Need some miles under my belt.

Between the ditches and the shiney side up and you'll be OK. Even I have survived 2,000 miles and a little over 4 months.
