The weather was cool last night we put heat pump on in the morning. Today's high is 83.
The day we leave is always so sad. Jim wanted to leave 9am our time. I was up first at 6 am, there time.
I finished the blog before Jim got up. He had the last of the deviled eggs, sausage and the biscuit, leftover from Jim and Nick's yesterday, for breakfast. We finished packing up. The truck was still running. We walked up to the house to say Goodbye.
This new spot in TN wanted this at the end mixed them up.
First Biscuit met us in the driveway, just petting him got me started. Len gives the best hugs, I love them So much. We had a huge hug together. We both were in tears, we said LOVE you. Phyllis said we should have a picture of us hugging. I thought she was going to take one, we hugged again but I don't think she took one. Oh well I got another hug. Once the tears start, I can't stop. Of course they start again now as I type this. We will see them in a few months when they come to Pa to see here daughter.
We left about 9:30 our time.
What a DAY.
We passed SO many accidents the worst, on the other side of the road, a helicopter was on the road, alot of cop cars and fire trucks. The traffic was backed up probably at least 10 miles. Then cars were going through the grass medium strip, and pulled out right in front of us instead of staying in the left lane. I didn't feel right taking a picture.
But later fire trucks along road again on our side, was a fire in the woods along the road.
Our GPS kept saying Slow down ahead, Traffic Accidents ahead. You can take blaa blaa but you are still on the fastest route. AND going over the bridges are so ruff. Bounce all over. One really bad bump the truck said trailer is disconnected. This was our first stop, he found a place to pull over, and we went potty quick.
Today the pollen is SO bad. Was bothering both of us.
We couldn't get off exit we wanted to fuel up, had to find another, and we had lunch there. Then the fridge does not seam to be staying cold now. Jim hit some buttons on it.
We left more of the same above. The day was supposed to be 5 hours of driving total and turned out to be almost 8. One stop found this, broken pendant light. Was broke at base, he temporarily fixed it, but all the bumps guess it couldn't take. Can't find broken pieces hope not under slide. I swept the glass I thought still cut my foot on a piece. Have to keep slippers on.
Next time looking at fridge said 34 when we got here. Should have left it go, he hit more buttons and now says 50. But it was running it had the battery power down to 45%.
When we finally arrived here at Dumpling Farm RV park. We are at Kodak TN.
We got parked hookups and he unhooked and went for Diesel.
I heated up leftovers from last night. We sat outside he called his Mom.
We watched a little TV couldn't get much. We took showers I went to bed first at 10 pm was so tired. It was a long and Stressful day, and worried about the fridge.
Sounds like you had a horrible trip. I TOLD YOU TO STAY ANOTHER DAY. Miss you already. But good you left. Had heavy rain and thunder all night. You can guess where Biscuit was.
ReplyDeleteAlways hard leaving good friends.
ReplyDeleteLots of roads both sides of the Border in need of repair.
Have to be careful for crazy drivers. They only think of themselves.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
