On the road West

Today we left Portland, Tennessee, at 8:00 a.m.  Our plan, which has continued to change this past month, will be to spend the first two nights at a Corps of Engineers park in Illinois.  Those parks are usually very nice.

We will eventually end up spending a week in South Dakota.

Last night we said goodbye to Roger's mom and later got to see our friend Carolyn, along with Debbie and Sandra.  We'll see all of them again in Florida after we return in October.

Gallatin, Tennessee

Not much to do around here.  Last evening we went to visit a past neighbor of ours.  Gave us a chance to catch up on our old neighborhood.  As we sat on her porch talking, we could see both our previous homes.  Any regrets for selling out in 2009 and moving to Florida?  Absolutely not.

Today I went to Walmart and checked out two new stores in town.  Stopped by Farm Bureau to discuss a life insurance issue.

We are staying in Roger's sister's home this week.  Annie and I walked down the back yard to take a couple of photos.  The home is on Old Hickory lake.

Every day we see deer in the backyard.  I don't have my Canon camera with me, so the picture taken this morning isn't very good due to the distance,

We went to visit Roger's mom this afternoon.  Although it is very expensive, it is a very nice place.

Later we went out for a good BBQ meal at Top Hog.  Forgot to take a photo of our meals

We pass this Alpha See Ya' motor home ever day.  The front end is held up in the air by two jacks.  It seems as if someone is living in it full-time.  Crazy.

Now we are in for the day watching TV and playing computer games.

Bledsoe Creek State Park - Gallatin, Tennessee

Arrived at Bledsoe Creek State Park in Gallatin, Tennessee on Sunday, June 22. We were in site 4, with electric, water and next to the bath house.  It is a nice, small park that has deer and wild turkeys plus a fishing pier. Every day we had a sweet young deer visit us.

This was a convenient location for us to visit the assisted living facility where Roger's mother resides. We stayed here until Friday, June 27.
