James and Cathy's place

Saturday night we were invited to James and Cathy's A. place. They have a beautiful place in the country. There were several couples from the papermill there as well as 2 retirees, Frank and Tommy E.



Everyone helped setup.


The guys all gathered wood for a bonfire. James has a new name, James Bunyon.



I got a really good picture of the papermill crew.


Frank and Bruce S. did a lot of kidding around.


James with a little help from Tommy W. and Bruce S. got the grill going for a delicious supper.


While we were waiting on supper, we enjoyed visiting with each other.

We even got someone to take a picture of us. ( See I was there.)


We enjoyed the bonfire until it was dark.



Thanks to James and Cathy A. having all of us over. It was lots of fun and great to fellowship with everyone. We look forward to getting together again some time.

We left home and nobody noticed!

We decided middle of the week to take a trip in our 5th wheel all by ourselves. This is the first time we have taken a trip by ourselves. I took off Friday so we had a long weekend. It was really great!



We had an uneventful trip. Made it to the camp and got everything setup.






After getting setup, we went to the outlet mall. I wanted to find some pants. Grandpa had other ideas.


We got back to camp Friday and now have neighbors. All the camp sites are great and have full hookups.



Saturday we went to Trade Days in Ripley, MS. It is also know as First Monday. That place was a kick. Right out of the old time days. Unfortunately I forgot my camera. People had everything for sell there from dogs, goats, chickens to homemade jellys and breads. And of course some stuff from China and other junk places.I spent a whole 5 dollars. Grandpa had spent all his money riding the elephant and couldn't buy anything at the flea market.

Then we drove from Ripley to Tupelo across northern MS. The leaves are changing and the landscape was beautiful. We even saw gas for 1.989 in Ripley. Coming back into the park the sunset on the lake was nice.


Grandpa never seems happy with how the setup is. So he proceeds to fix it. We will get better at this in time, I hope. I went on to build a fire and of course scratch my arm with the wood. But it was ok. Just a little Blood.



Grandpa had a long day and plum tuckered out.


Got back home Sunday afternoon. Trailer parked and stuff put away. We really enjoy ourselves and looking forward to our next trip.
