Our Venture Heading home June 2010

We started packing the motor home the 31st of May.I do the inside and Dan does most of the outside work,he does a check on the tires,oil,lights and what ever else that needs to be looked at.When he washing the front of mh the hood was open and water hit the control switch that makes the bedroom slide work.Well it burned out so that one no longer works.Looked on line for one and the money they want for this control that is about 2 inches long and inch wide is unreal. Dan has it so the living room slide control can also do the bedroom slide it will be fine till we get home.Then when he went to put the awning in it would not roll in. The handle on the right side would not release so out come the tools and about 20 mins he got it fixed and of course it is like 90 out and humid.For the next few days we still did our job at Big Shoals and got ready to leave. We have been planning on going back to Spencer Camp Ground in Tenn.. And been planning this since March we even had family coming down from Maine.We are leaving Fla. Friday4th. Dan gets an email from the people at the cg Thursday 3rd,saying they were closing the  cg and they were sorry So now we had to find another place to stay.Left White Springs Fl. about 10:30 Friday morning. The trip from there to Perry Ga. went pretty smooth.We stayed at the Fair Harbor cg. Up early and on the road by 7:30. Stopped once for gas. Got to Rock Falls State Park about noon. Vicky and Marline came with subs for lunch about 1:00. Then we rode with them to see where Vicky’s new place was.We also got the tour of the town of Sparta Tenn. Marline gave us a ride back to the park. We gave the girls a good walk around the cg.and then it was time for bed. Sunday we backed the camper into Vicky and Fred’s driveway. We were getting set up and Todd,Teresa,Deb,Cassidy and Andrew showed up. Deb flew in from NJ that morning.  Todd and his family picked her up at the Nashville airport.They visit for a bit then headed on home.  Earl,Kristina and Sandra showed up at Vic’s house about 1:00 pm they visit for awhile then Earl and Kristina went to their hotel and Sandra stayed at Vic’s. Monday we just hung out and did a few things around the house. Dan cleaned out the gutters after it rained when we saw that the rain was going over the gutters instead of down it.Tuesday we went and got a truck load of loam and Dan filled a hole they had at the edge of driveway and I did some transplanting for her. Then we went for lunch at the Sparta diner. Dan mowed the yard and I was doing some things in the camper. Had a nice dinner that Vic made. Visit for a few hours then off to bed. Rained most of the day, a little bit of sun but it didn't  stay long. There have been some good sounding  thunder and lighting. Took the trash to the dump and grabbed a lunch while we were out. Just hanging in camper doing the blog and face book. Can’t do anything outside. Oh well. Ok it is 6:47 pm time to get dinner going.
