Time in Georgia November 2010

Okay, it is Saturday Nov 27, 2010 and I do not know where the time has gone since I last updated this Blog. I do however know that Larry and I both have had a great time but are TIRED.
We arrived in Bainbridge on tuesday the 16th of November and started running the minute we got the "bus" parked.
Carolyn (cousin) and I started off that afternoon by going to buy some pecans for us to take back to Virginia with us. Several other errands, some of which were to pickup wedding gifts for Keith and LeeAnn.
Wednesday found us getting ready to decorate for the rehersal dinner on Friday night. Carolyn had done a fine job of getting everything together plus lots of people to help us. We worked hard on wednesday, thursday and friday getting everything done. It was a huge success. By the way I actually stayed up until 1 am helping get everything cleaned up.
Saturday (11-20-20) was the big day . The wedding was at 6 pm. Everything went according to plan and it was BEAUTIFUL. Off to the reception at the Kirbo Center along with Ally and Doug who had arrived that afternoon.
It was 1:30 am when I got to bed this time.
Sunday we went to a brunch at the Holiday Inn and were surprised to see Margaret Farnell Hill, who is also a cousin of mine, whom we had not seen in several years.
After that Ally wanted to go to the cementery and just ride around the area , since she had not been here in several years.
Back to Carolyn and Keiths house to visit with lots more family and during the course of the evening we found out that Ally is pregnant. She and Doug are excited about becoming parents again in June. This will be our 6th grandchild.
Next we planned for Thanksgiving and of course we had plenty of food.
Yesterday, friday, we all CRASHED. I think everything has either been put away, returned or whatever.
Today, Larry, Carolyn and I went to Climax, Georgia to Swine Time. Now don't ask why they call it that but it was fun., Just lots of people, crafts, food, etc. Two main things, syrup cooking and cooked chittlens. Now I have never eaten chittlens and don't think I will ever eat them.
Now we are waiting for Larry and MaryJane Phillips, our friends from Texas to come over to visit. They are in Thomasville, Ga. visiting relatives.
We plan to leave on Monday morning heading back to Virginia with a stop in Greer SC with to see Bill and Deb Dorris again.

Trip to Georgia

Had a wonderful time in Greer SC with Bill and Deb Dorris and now we are in Cordele Georgia at a WalMart for the night(Monday 11-15) with about 99miles to go tomorrow to get to Bainbridge. We are all excited about the upcoming wedding on Saturday.
Larry is doing fine with driving and he laughed today saying it has taken us 3 days to get this far. Well, who is in a hurry? That is the beauty of being retired and traveling in a motorhome.

READY to TRAVEL 11-12-10

The Big A Bus is ready to roll. We are leaving sometime mid morning tomorrow and heading to Bainbridge, Georgia . We will stop and spend a couple of night with our friends Bill & Deb Dorris in the Greenville SC area and then get to Bainbridge on Tuesday to start helping prepare for the wedding of Keith Newberry,Jr. The wedding is on Saturday (20th) and we plan to stay for Thanksgiving. It has been a long time since we have been in Georgia for Thanksgiving and I am looking forward to spending it with my cousins. The older we get the more important family becomes .
I will try and keep you posted on our activities.
Oh by the way, Larry is doing great. After our trip to the specialist last week, changing of medications, and knowing that it is asthma we are moving right along. He has been a month now without smoking. YEAH for him.

Wednesday 11-3-10

We are in Williamsburg, Va. with Donna and Chuck Tolson, checking out campgrounds for our 2011 Discovery Rally. Yesterday we checked out campgrounds and now know which one the Rally will be held at and the dates for it in 2011. Actually after checking into the KOA in Williamsburg there was no decision to be made, we knew we WERE NOT having it here. So disappointed with the facilities. We will go to American Hertiage Campground which is so much better. After trying to get setup here at the KOA, changing sites due to not being able to get the coach level, then we had a problem with the electricity.
Today Chuck and Larry went to Jamestown to check out the visitors center and Donna and I went shopping at the Prime Outlets and had a great day. Got some Christmas present and bought shoes for me. Met the guys for lunch, went shopping somemore while the guys came back to the motorhomes and had naps. Suppose to rain tonight and tomorrow so we will probably have a wet ride home but oh well.
Larry goes to the specialist on Friday for his breathing problems. Hope to get some answers for his cough.
