Starting of the ODC camping season
Our first campout of the 2010 Season was held at Virginia Beach, Virginia. Larry and I went down on Thursday with Linda and Jim Matheny. Had not seen them since Dec. 2009 so it was nice to sit and catch up on our winter travels. Friday morning we decided to do a bike ride to the beach. We rode down to the Boardwalk, had lunch, and returned to the campground to have a nap. It was 8 miles round trip. Some of the group was arriving after we had our nap and then we got together for a "happy hour" around 4:30 pm. Saturday we had a wonderful breakfast with the group and did another bike ride. This time it was 10 miles round trip. We did take time out for a lunch break at the beach. Most of the group left on sunday but 4 couples stayed over until Monday morning. We all had dinner together and enjoyed talking about future trips and past trips. The next outing will be in May at the Virginia State Samboree in Urbanna, Va.

Back In Virginia 4-4-2010
Happy Easter to everyone.
I know some of you have been checking to see if the Big A Bus is in Virginia or Indiana but we did come back to Virginia. Bry & family had some other things to do over Spring Break and just couldn't make it to Indy so we decided to come home .
Monday morning Larry and I went to visit with Tommy & Claire Wheeler, who were both teachers when we were in school. They are both 83 and still very active in church and volunteering. Tuesday we had a little "get to gather" out at Camp Newberry, as we call it, with several friends from highschool. Janice(Ward) & Roy Brewer, Elaine(McLendon) & Ricky Trammell, Elaine Barber Cowart, Austin Phillips and us, We had a wonderful time just visiting and catching up on each others lives and hope to do it again soon.Wednesday we also visited another old friend, Kenneth Cloud who is now the association missionary for the Bowen Baptist Association. I also got to visit another old friend Mary Coftey Coleman.
We left Bainbridge on Thursday and had a couple of passengers with us. Kadee Newberry and her cat Bella. Kadee is a nurse in Augusta and needed to get back to go to work that night so we took them along with us. Having Bella in the motorhome made me think it would be nice to have a cat again but Papa says NO.
We spent the night in RockHill , SC and then got to home around 4 pm on Friday. We are now trying to recover from being gone for 3 months. The house was full of dead ladybugs and flies and for the life of me I can't figure how they get in. Grass had to be cut, weeds pulled but we did not have much "winter kill" on plants as I expected after all the snow Virginia had.
Bry and family are coming out to visit this afternoon.
The Big A Bus is in the "Barn" until April 22nd when we head to Virginia Beach to camp with the Old Dominion Cardinals for our first 2010 campout.
