9 days on the road........

and we are at our son and DIL's house composing this Blog on the laptop they gave us, using WIFI that is just there for free. How cool is that? We have found having a cell phone invaluable and I can imagine we will soon be addicted to using the laptop.

We have been having so much fun! We spent 4 nights in Awendaw, SC at a Forest Service campground, where we learned about biting gnats. We are still suffering from the effects of these vicious predators. Next we spent the night in a private campground and saw a Roadtrek similar to ours and spoke to the owner about his adventures.The next 2 nights we stayed at SC State campgrounds on the Atlantic Ocean. Friday we climbed 175 steps at Hunting Island Lighthouse. That was really cool. We arrived at J & L's house Friday evening about 6 PM. Today we yard saled and I found a Precious Moments for $1.00. Woohoo!!! This evening we went to L's Mom for dinner. Everyone is doing good and we are enjoying doing what we want when we want.

Shake, rattle & roll.......

Heading down the highway, happy as larks going 70 MPH when Mike & I look at each other.....did you feel that? What is that noise, vibration? Uh oh, it's dark, rainning and we've only made it to Ft. Mill, SC. We took the next exit and Mike checked but couldn't see anything wrong. What should we do? After a few minutes of sitting and listening to the rain we did the responsible thing and turned around. The drive home was a sad one. Today Mike packed the wheel bearings, replaced the universal joints and replaced the dim head lights. Poor guy looks beat but we went for a test drive on the interstate and the ride was sooo smooth and quiet. It drives and rides better than it ever has. We have renewed confidence and by the time most of you read this we will begin our adventure again. Whenever we wake in the morning we'll leave and be having breakfast down the road as the rest of you head to work.

Boy, our kids know how to celebrate.....

We had the best weekend!!!! Our oldest daughter had invited us to dinner to celebrate our retirement. At the last minute our son was able to come up from Ga. Then our daughter got a hold of her sister and she was able to come down too. So we had all of our children together and we had such a good time. Thanks guys, you make us feel really special !!!!!
