Hmmmmmm…..an apology is in order since I didn’t get around to writing and publishing anything last night. A couple of reasons: 1. The 1st Lady has taken on the part time job of doing the statements and billing the companies that our Dr. Jeni’s husband, our son-in-law, works with in his business on the road. The 1st Lady needs something to occupy her time, give her “structure”, and so this is a good release for her still hanging on “energies” from teaching for 29 years. Soooo, last night she had many statements, from his invoices which he emails to us, to get typed and emailed to him. #2: I discovered a recurring problem under the entertainment slide of the RV…..the flexible plastic piece which holds all of the electrical cords and bends, along the with the cords, when the slide retracts…..well, for the second time in less than a year, it has split…..on BOTH ends!!!! Soooo, to say the least, I was VERY PISSED and VERY UPSET!!!!!! Plus…..as I rolled the awning in last night, I discovered for the SECOND TIME that the screws have pulled loose from the side of the RV!!!!!! Just had them fixed last fall and here we go again!!!!
Ok…..enough of this problem crap. A good friend of mine told me that if we put our stick/brick houses on wheels and drove them down these horrific, bumpy roads……just imagine what would happen to our homes!!!!! Soooo…..these items can be repaired….so just let it go, John!!
Yesterday……a leisurely morning again…..and then at noon, the 1st Lady and I went over to the beach….for the last time……tears are streaming down my cheeks!!! I love the beach, the relaxation it gives, and the incredible “eye candy” that is also available there!!!!! HEHEHEEE!!!!! We remained for four hours and then packed it in and returned to the RV Park.
After de-salting ourselves with hot showers, we were off to Destin to have a final seafood dinner. EAT AT “A.J.’s”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such a great seafood restaurant with great choices and wonderful food. I had the “Run of the Kitchen “…..a LARGE platter of fried oysters, fried shrimp, fried scallops, fried clams, deviled crab, and wonderful fried Mai-Mai, along with hush puppies, slaw, and a very cold Corona!! (With Lime slice, of course). A great dinner for only $23.95!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The 1st Lady had Garlic-butter scallops which were good, but just not quite enough garlic on them to enhance the flavor. Oh…..we also had crab stuffed mushrooms with melted cheese on top of the them……YUM!!!
Back to the RV….and I got busy getting the final items stored in the basement for the journey home. Of course, I was pissed at the problems, but managed to get sleep during the night.
TODAY
We were up, things were packed and put away inside, and we pulled out of the Navarre Beach RV Park at 9:20 this morning. A good drive…..a good ride….and hot, muggy weather outside the truck as we rolled west on I-10, and then into Mobile, AL, and then northwest on US Hwy 98 to Hattiesburg…..and changed to US 49 north to Jackson where we picked up I-55. We went 20 miles north of Jackson to Canton and pulled over and registered at a campground here. Nice……big lots….and level, too. AND…….
We pulled in beside another Cedar Creek 5th wheel from Florida!!! It is 2006 Custom RDQS…..the floor plan of our Cedar Creek RV. We rested some, stayed inside out of the searing heat and humidity, and a bit later the owners of the other CC arrived back.
I went out to meet them…..and an interesting conversation developed about our rigs. I pointed out my problem with the flexible plastic piece…..and we looked under his slide…..and OMG, but his was just about to rip apart!!!!!!! AND…..he had only purchased his in March AT THE FACTORY!!!!!! Sooooo, our discussions continued about the problems we have had with many little minor issues…….
We plan to get together in the morning before we both depart. I told him about the Cedar Creek RV Owners Club….and he is interested in learning more. Don’t think he uses the computer much for keeping in touch with things…….I told him I had some good tape that can fix his problem….temporarily and will assist him in the morning.
Tonight, the 1st Lady and I drove back down I-55 into Madison to see the movie “RV”……and laughed ourselves silly!!!!!!! A great movie that hits home with any rver!!!!!! If you haven’t seen it….camper or not…..go see it!!!!
Sooo, now the 1st Lady is yelling at me…..more invoices/statements to be done. NEXT trip she brings her own lappie!!!!!!!
Soooo, tomorrow it is on to Tunica and to the Casinos!!!!
Until then…..
Life is GREAT……and I hope it is for all of you, also!!
