Voyage 2020: Chapter 4

11 Nov 2020, Birthplace of RV Jule III, 33 55.742 N/ 087 47.05 W

We arrived at Tiffin/Winfield AL at 1400 CT, checked in, and offered us a complimentary RV site. They reminded us to be at our assigned garage door by 0700. Next day, we were there at Bay #2 and Doug invited us to enter. We went over our list of things to fix and he said "no problem". Then they led us to the waiting area where the 5 other RV owners were waiting. Mattie Kay was a little anxious but she was quiet through out the day. Everything was fixed and were offered another berth in their campground. Good work and friendly people.

Next day we headed back home but it was a long way. We got tuckered out around Atlanta so we found us a campground in Aiken GA. It was late but Joe was there waiting for us and was with us until we were all hooked up. This place (Aiken RV Park) is a clean and friendly place and reminded us many of the marinas along the ICW. We feel at home here. Sadly, we could only stay the night so the next day we said 'bye' to Murrell and Murrell (puppy in the Gallery), Joe, and a few of the residents and off we went up the road to Wilmington. Good trip. Already planning the next road trip (Manatee Hammock FL).

11 Nov 2020, Back to ILM for a while, 34 05.998 N/ 077 55.089 W

We arrived back to Homeport (Watermark) at 1600. We will be here until Christmas. Lots of clinical tasks and home duties until then. Mattie was glad to get on her almost 'window's peak' and lurk on the neighbors. We were glad to restart our Senior Center lunches graciously provided through Jeb and Chet. It gives Bob a chance to work on his walking game. We drove up to the Arlington National Cemetery to visit Bob's folks. The whole Vienna clan came with us to remember the life, grace, and kindness of Ruth and Walter. Afterwards, we celebrated pre-Christmas with the Richmond Todd's and Christmas at the Vienna Todd's. Now (26 Dec 2020) we are rocking in our recliner watching 60 year westerns.
