It is hard to believe that half of July has already gone.     Why does time fly so fast?   My Mom used to say "the older you get the faster times flies"  well now you know I thought she was nuts but I have lived to see a lot of the things she said come to pass.
Guess the moral to that story is , we need to listen to our parents or elders and as Larry says it is getting harder to find our elders.   We seem to be the ELDERS.

The Big A Bus is home for now.   We still have the house and property but since the house is "staged" for showing we have decided to just LIVE in the motorhome for awhile.   We have everything we need and it certainly doesn't require as much electricity, cleaning, etc as the house.

We have been on one camping adventure with our Good Sam Chapter over to Misty Mountain in Charlottesville .  We had 5 rigs and it was sort of nice to have a small group as you can visit  and it is not as much work to Host.

Thursday we are taking the "bus" and going up to the Stafford/Fredericksburg area and will be parking at the Burdette Campground.   Linda and Randy are friends, who have a place and hookups for the motorhome and are going to let us stay there for a few days.  Larry has a doctors appointment on Friday and then on Saturday night we get to attend a concert at Central Park .    Hank Williams Jr. is the headliner and we have wanted to see him in person for years.  I know it is going to be hot as "hello" but we will enjoy it.  Bryant and his motorcycle club are part of the group that does parking and crowd control so we will be well taken care of. The rest of the weekend we will just hang out up in that area probably at Bry and Julie's house part of the time to use the pool and visit with them.   Julie's Mom is here from Georgia and we have not seen Marjorie in a long time.    We also want to attend the Tuesday night at Amy's restaurant where Madie sings.   We have only been there once to hear her perform.
She is really getting quite good with her singing and playing on the guitar.   She auditioned about a week ago for a contest sponsored by a local radio station and if she is chosen as one of the contestant she will be performing at the Fredericksburg Fair on July 31st. We fine out about that this week hopefully.  I will keep you informed as to how she does.

Next weekend we are going with 3 other couple on a weekend of relaxing and catching up with each other.   Sandy and Bill Freed  just returned from a trip to Alaska and we want to hear all about it.   Bill is dealing with cancer and we just want to spend as much time as we can with them. 

Hope you enjoy the"catch up" and until next time.
