Back home again! Again!

Yes, it has been almost a month since our last post. We were home for a week the first of April, then we were off to the Mississippi Spring Samboree in Greenville. As always, we have a wonderful time there visiting with old friends and making a few new ones. As always, we stayed busy all week with the various activities.

After the MS Samboree, we traveled over and down to Dothan, Alabama for the Alabama Spring Samboree at the National Peanut Festival Fairgrounds. This is a great facility for a Samboree. Again, we enjoyed the hospitality of our friends in Alabama.

On Monday, we drove down to Panama City Florida along with Mike and Janice Smith one of our ASD's. We had some work done on the grave site last fall after my mothers burial. The men did a great job. Raising up the granite coping and replacing the cement under the granite stone (this keeps down the weeds and grass). Our friends, Greg and Judy Smith, are keeping flowers on the grave site for us.

Monday evening we meet with my cousin, Jackie Galloway and his wife Frankie. They were camping at the Pecan Point RV park just north of the fairgrounds while they bass fished. We enjoyed a great time talking about old times and had dinner at Golden Corral. They came down to the fairgrounds to visit with us on Friday morning.

We enjoyed a great time with Don and Linda Lane, Kentucky State Director. We had others from Tennessee join us there,Jerry and Lila Cowell, Mike and Janice Smith, Bill and Molly Stewart and Bob and Madaline Bertouille. And "Oh" yes we went to Dairy Queen a few times.

Unfortunatly, Bob became ill and spent a couple of days in the hospital. In fact, we had to call the EMT's on Sunday morning and send him back to the hospital. We made arrangements with someone there(Grover) to watch after their pets and the fairgrounds was very accomodating. They allowed them to stay on their site while Bob was hospitalized. He was able to leave the hospital on Tuesday and they headed back home on Wednesday. Good Luck Bob!

We left for home Sunday after church. We caravaned with the Lanes and Cowells stopping at the Country View Campground north of Birmingham for the night. We enjoyed spending time with them at the campground Sunday evening.

We arrived home about 2:30 PM on Monday afternoon. Exhausted and glad to be home!

Until next time, travel safely.
