We arrived at General Butler State Park campground around 5pm, drove back to our site and it appears to be too short and too steep, but the campground is full so there aren't any other choices. The camper next to us 'Bob' Comes over to give advice and recommendations. We successfully got the RV in, but the slope was so steep he couldn't get it level enough-we'd be walking uphill to get to our bedroom. It's extremely humid and we are soaking wet. Pati arrives from Ft Wright, KY in her cute blue convertable Mustang. Ken asks us to go up to the office and ask if there are any possible alternative sites. We get there just as they had a cancellation. Pati and I check it out; it's a lot more level, so we go ... read more

Saturday, August 24 It rained all night. I slept in until 9:30. I took 2 Vicks Night Time pills so I was pretty sleepy. We aren't in a hurry. We have our normal breakfast and then pack up for travel. called Pati; her birthday is today. We leave the park about noon, headed to Stone Mountain, GA. I will be working in ATL this week. Stone Mountain is about 20 minutes from my office. It's a beautiful park. The campground sits on the shores of the lake. We arrived at the park and I decided to go grocery shopping while Ken set up the RV. it's not a lot of work; we really have a routine down. When I returned he had the Red Sox and Dodgers game on. We watched the game for awhile. For ... read more

Well I'm glad I had work to do, because the rest of the day was rough- Not knowing when we will see the girls again. Let's just say we are not dealing with a normal situation here. Ken calls from Ingles (grocery store) on his way home to see if we need anything. He picks up a 'Cool Lime Refresher' for me; my newest favorite afternoon drink from Starbucks. We made a sandwich for lunch. He's got a few chores to do outside. After I am finished with my work for the day, I take a shower and we decided go out for dinner. I need to get out! We went to Mama G's again and have salads and pizza again-this time with broccoli, tomatoes, onions and mushrooms. We had the yummy rolls again. Afterwards we ... read more

When we woke up it was raining again. After a shower, I had coffee in my office-see the picture. We left in the afternoon to head to Atlanta to pick up the girls: Lola who spends her summers in Las Vegas with her dad (my son) and Bella who spends her summers in Tucson with her dad (Lola's mom's first husband); Ken will take them tomorrow to their mom's home in Bryson City, NC. complicated, huh? I love having the 4G LTE/Verizon. I can be on line just about anywhere so I was able to work on the drive to the airport. We arrive at the airport and get our passes to get back to the gates. Lola is flying Delta and arrives first. She is the last to get off and smiles as soon as ... read more

It rained all night...it makes you want to stay in bed...especially when you don't have to get up for anything. It's still raining. The sound on the RV roof is soothing. Ken is making coffee so I get up. We have some of the blueberry coffee cake with our coffee. Yum! Our goal is to get all of the unpacking and purging done today. Bill and Jackie left this morning. They gave us their email and home address and invited us to visit. The campground is emptying out...I'm sure the rain doesn't help. We finished everything except sorting through unneeded clothes. Also did my expenses, a little reading and helped my PA with laundry. We had lunch....still raining. Makes me want to sip on wine and read. For dinner we had leftover soup and blueberry cake. ... read more
