We're Moving

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 47 degrees, high 73 degrees, mostly clear skies

It was a little warmer today, and I was ready for it. Scattered rain showers are expected for the next two days. The area has been suffering from a drought, so any rain will be welcomed.

The antenna for the air card continues to do a great job in allowing us to access the Internet. I was too busy to take pictures of the installation, but will try tomorrow.

Since it appears we will be here for a longer time than expected, we decided to try to find an RV park that would serve our needs better. And, coincidentally, be a little lighter on the pocketbook. Near where we enter US 82 is an RV park that we decided to check into. We found the man who owns the park doing some dirt leveling and landscaping with a tractor. He is 85 years old, and doesn't look a day over 84. Actually, he looks pretty good for his age. He told me he didn't have any vacancies, had no idea when he would have one, and when he did have a vacancy, he had a waiting list for it. That was a pretty strong indication that we wouldn't be able to stay there. He was not unpleasant with his answer, but again, there is no question that we needed to look elsewhere.

As we were about to leave, I noticed a mobile home park next door that had a sprinkling of RVs in it. I drove over there and found the owner, a very nice lady who lives next door to the park. In addition, we met her daughter. She told us she would have a vacancy by the end of the week and could have it if we wanted. We told her we thought it would our needs perfectly, since it is a quiet park with mostly older people in it, just like us. In addition, it is actually closer to Terri's house and to town than Lake Lurleen State Park. A cell phone signal is available, which we have not always had at the state park. We will be notified when the lot is vacated. At that time, we will have the power turned on in our name, and move in. The move will only be about six miles. Piece of cake.

After finding the RV space, we went into Northport and took care of a few little items. Then it was back home for a little rest and relaxation (meditation) before we went over to Terri's house to help get some things done over there. After dinner with Terri and Thomas, it was back home to relax and publish the blog.

More later, be safe.
