This has nothing to do with the motorhome but I thought that I should record this in our blog for a couple of reasons. I don't want to foget this visit and thought some of you might enjoy it.
On Tuesday May 5th Mary Jane(being from Texas) and Larry)from Bainbridge, Ga.) Phillips, our friends from Texas, arrived at our house in Virginia. Now you might remember seeing something in an earlier blog about them. Larry and Larry worked together back in the 60's and we had lost touch until 2 years ago. Boy have we done some catching up since then. They had never been to Virginia so we have been trying to get them here. Well, they decided to do a "Bucket List Trip" and visit all the people they had been promising to visit for the last 20 years. Larry Phillips and I did a lot of bowling on the Wii and they also taught so how to play a dice game called Farkel. Of course Larry P and I enjoyed talking about different people from Bainbridge that we both grew up with. He is one year younger than my Brother was which means he is 8 years older than me. We also discovered that we are related to the same person from Cairo Georgia, he from his Mothers side of the family and me from my grandmother on my Dads side plus the lady taught Larry Halstead in 5th grade. Small small world. We have been having lots of rain in Virginia but the weather turned nice for most of their visit. We went to Thomas Jeffersons home at Monticello on Thursday and then to Fredericksburg to meet Bryant and his family for dinner at the new Pub in Fredericksburg. Madie was so excited since they have fish and chips that she really loves. Friday we took them to a couple of winerys in this area which they enjoyed. Saturday morning they left on another leg of the journey to North Carolina to visit another cousin who just happened to teach school in Bainbridge with my Mother. I could go on and on but just wanted to share a little of their visit.
Now Larry and I are off to Urbanna Virginia for the Virginia State Good Sams Samboree.More later
