Wendng our way homeward

First of all, our heartfelt thanks to all the veterans who fought and died to preserve our freedom.
May we never take their sacrifice for granted.

We spent three days with our friends Tom and Nancy in Raleigh, NC and then continued our "leaf tour" over to Thousand Trails Forest Lakes for the night. We have been amazed at the blaze of colors that have seemed to move southward with us. I have put a few of these pictures into Gene's webalbum at http://picasaweb.google.com/roadytreky/ and will transfer more after we get home.

Our next stop was Thousand Trails Carolina Landing near Fair Play, SC for the weekend. We met up with Mark and Sharleen, new friends we had met at the Gypsy Gathering in Ohio, and enjoyed visiting with them. T. T. was sponsering a Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday, so Gene signed us up and we enjoyed the turkey, ham and mashed potatoes they provided, plus the culinary talents of many other women there.

Monday morning we were on the road again into Georgia and Gene did an excellent driving job through the mountains. There was rarely a vehicle behind us, so he took it nice and slow down the hills and around the hairpin turns. We drove to Dillard, GA to enjoy a sumptious feast at the Dillard House. It was Gene's first time (my third time) and he seemed quite pleased with the variety of food that was brought to us.

We are now at Yonah Mountain Campground in Cleveland, GA. The weather has turned cool and the sky is overcast. It's been a good day for resting and reading. Tomorrow we will head to Atlanta area to visit new friends we met at Minden, NE.

Our plan is to be home by this weekend. Our great granddaughter, Alisa, is having her 6th birthday party on Sunday, and we want to be there for that event.

Until next time, God's blessings and our prayers are with all of you.
