Long Time Friends & Family

We left the RV Park in Sevierville and stopped at Smokey Mountain Knife Works.  What a place!  Taking Gene in there was like saying "sic 'em" to a dog.  Not only did they have knives of every kind, housewares and clothing, but also displays of animals, waterwheels, scrimshaw and even a huge sword in a stone.  He looked at knives and I took pictures of the displays.  We left with a purchase of only one knife and a couple other small items.  He showed great restraint.
On to Greenville to visit with my classmates Linda Sue & Richard.  We spent time sitting on the porch talking and enjoying the beautiful view they have of the mountains.  She prepared a delicious meal for us and then we played the dominoes game Mexican Train.  The dots were swimming before my eyes before we finished, but we had a lot of fun. 
The next day we drove to Waverly, OH to visit with Paul and Barb.  We went to church with them and spent time reminiscing about our time together at Teen Missions in Merritt Island, FL  After a sumptuous lunch on Thurs., we were off to Racine, OH, Kountry Resort Campground.  We noticed an ammonia smell and discovered our refrigerator had sprung a leak in the tubing.  We turned it off & opened the windows.  Since we would be at our daughter & son-in-laws the next day, we knew the food wouldn't spoil.
Friday we arrived at their deli,  Church Street Deli, in Spencer, WV at noon.  Potato soup & beef burrito filled us up & we drove to their house in Mt. Zion.  They had had a lot of rain and their driveway gave us a bit of a problem.  Westfall Wrecker Service pulled the RV out of the mud and we were able to relax for the rest of the weekend.
Monday we were on our way to Mt Airy, NC  That will be my next po
post.
