Georgia Life

As we near the end of our second week here, I realize that time has passed quickly again without me posting on here. I am having issues with transferring the iphone pictures to this computer, and my blogger ap won't work with the latest firmware upgrade on the phone, so long story short I have to transfer the pictures from the phone to Janice's computer, load them on a thumb drive and then copy to my computer. First of all I have a few from when we were in Alabama. There are a lot of nice hiking trails at the campground there with views like these.

To celebrate Vicki's birthday, we went to the Red Pearl in Birmingham. It is a Chinese restaurant and market. They have a lot of interesting foods for sale there like these ducks.

The next day was Saturday, so Phil and I headed to the Collinsville Flea Market. I love these big southern flea markets, so many things to look at. 

This has been a busy week at the soup kitchen where I volunteer. I have spent every morning there in the kitchen.

They have a really nice dish washing station that I use quite a bit.

Fixing collard greens.

Janice finished up a lap quilt for Mom this week.

We went to the library one day and picked up some more books that they donated for the library here at the campground. Someone had taken all of the ones that we put in it last spring. In my spare time this week, I installed an antenna on the roof for my 2 meter ham radio and installed a new cd/radio in the dash. Our old one finally died on the way down here.

Little Tallapoosa Park in Carrollton, GA

After a very enjoyable week with Vic and Phil in Gadsden (and way too much good food). We had to say goodbye and move to Carrollton today. We have one of our favorite RV sites here in the park and we will be here for a month. Mom's yard and garden here are looking very green still, but after a week in the humid 80s over in Alabama, the weather has turned cooler. After setting up the motorhome, we went over to Mom's for a short visit before coming back here to relax. I have upgraded to a smart phone finally, so I may be taking more pictures to post here since I will have a camera with me all of the time. (I know, my old phone had a camera, but the screen was small and the picture quality wasn't very good. Hope this one is better.) Still learning how to use all of the features on it and trying to remember them the next day.

Gadsden, AL

I'm a little behind in our daily travels. We left Bowling Green Wednesday morning and spent the night in Cape Girardeau, Thursday we went from there to West Memphis, AR. We had a spot in a campground on the river bank and spent most of our time watching barges go by on the river. Today was our longest driving day and we are in Gadsden, AL. We met Vic and Phil at our favorite restaurant tonight and will head over to their house tomorrow.
Here are a few pictures from West Memphis.

Heading South

We left Sioux City on Saturday and drove to Des Moines. Our daughter Sarah and her family have a convenient driveway with full hookups for the RV there. We spent Sunday with Andrea and her family and Monday with Sarah and her family. Lots of good food and fun with the families. This morning came way too soon and we had to say our goodbyes and hit the road.  We stopped for the night in Bowling Green, MO at the Cozy C RV Park. It is one of our favorites with easy access and long pull through sites. The owners are very friendly and there is a nice laundry room here.
