18- We were originally going to drive to Savannah, Georgia over night this night to save money on accom and not miss out on any sightseeing, but we were already exhausted and had managed to see most of Nashville so we decided to book a cheap hotel ($40) in Atlanta as it was half way to Savannah so we could do laundry and catch up on sleep. That night we ordered room service and only left our room to collect our laundry. 19- After a sleep in and without breakfast we were on the road to Savannah. The place we stayed in Atlanta was 12 miles out of town so we didn't even get to see the city of Atlanta which was sad but at least we were semi refreshed and had clean clothes. We drove ... read more

March 30-31: I spent an extra day at Leesburg before driving on up to Georgia, bypassing the old homestead and dry-camping at a Wal-mart. You never know what kinds of things you will see while driving along. I was on Hwy 19 going north when I spotted some backyard playhouses made of wood in unusual shapes. There was a boat, like Noah's ark and a castle and a train. Lucky for me there was a wide shoulder so I could pull off and take pictures! April 1: April Fools Day! Nothing foolish happened to me, however. One of the things on my bucket list was to visit Plains, GA. Actually, I would like to hear President Carter teach his Sunday School class there, but this day was not on his schedule. Unfortunately, while I was exploring ... read more

Travels with (A) Snowbird(s) May 2012 Wilmington, NC to Kingsland, GA. Thanks to Laurie Dalton. She reminded me I should be blogging on this road trip. I have a few hours before sleep, a good internet connection, lots of good TV to watch, a DQ Blizzard by my side and I am ready to go. I am on a non RV road trip to a family wedding in Clearwater Beach, FL. The daughter, Audrey Schade, of my cousin thru (ex) marriage, Valerie Hornell Schade, is getting married on Saturday, and I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation. My readers might remember that I visit Valerie each year when on my winter Snowbird trip. Weather permitting, the ceremony will be on the beach. I am looking forward to some quality beach time and/or pool time, as ... read more

After being delayed on the plane for an hour and a half, plus a 9 hour plane journey to Atlanta GA we finnaly arrived ! I dont think we realized how hot it would actually be... the heat hit us as soon as we walked out the door!!!!! A nice feeling tho as england rarely gets above 15 degrees! We met my mum and dad at the airport in Atlanta around 9pm ... thinking steve...aka Jason Bourne :-) would be the one that would have problems at immigration (customs) he sailed through, and i was the one being questioned.. typical !!!! Its May 8th now, so we have been here 7 days! We actually did say we would do nothing but relax the first 2 weeks but i dont think we have sat down for longer ... read more

After a night spent sharing a guest room bed with three cats and a dog (LOL) I made it onto my 07:35 flight from SFO bound for Atlanta, GA. One of the two books I brought with me, The Invention of Air by Steven Johnson is a quick and easy read about Joseph Priestly, the ordained minister, scientist, and author who was a contemporary of Ben Franklin, known for his works in electricity, chemistry, and other fields. He's credited for THE account of Franklin's "kite experiment", the invention of soda water, and origination of Coulomb's Law, and much more that I will soon read about... I enjoyed one passage for its particular contrast to my own travels across the country today, and on across the "pond" later tonight, which is offered to provide the context to ... read more

5/1/2012 - Murfreesboro, TN to Acworth, GA. Got up early this morning, around 6am. Slept hard, but a little hot at Wal-Marts. Shelby's back so bad this am had to take some Tylenol, not a good sign. Ready to get home and rest a little. Had the motorhome washed at Exit 318 on I75. Like stop here for washes as it is just north of home and they usually do a good job. The two guys that washed this time did a very thorough job. Cost was $51.00. The "redneck Mexican" did good again. If you stop here, just ask for the "redneck Mexican" tell him Taylor sent you :-). We are now in Bartow County, we feel we are home when we cross that line....getting back home on Tyler Taylor's (grandson) birthday. OK, WE ARE ... read more

MamaWhite retired briefly after her whorlwind tour of Charleston by convalescing with Ubah. She enjoyed a prime spot over looking the living room. MamaWhite witnessed several BBQs - including the 2nd Annual Leo party that had nearly twenty Tower members in attendance. Although Ubah ran off to Much Wenlock for Euro Anni, MamaWhite stayed to ensure nothing dastardly occurred in Ubah's absence. it was not long after Euro Anni before Fall Ball in Chattanooga, TN came rolling around.... read more
