Weather: low 40 degrees, high 72 degrees, clear skies
We stayed at home until about noon, resting from our rather long trip up to Cumberland Gap yesterday. Then we took a drive down to just south of Marysville to Terrell and Kathy's house. We had been invited down for a cookout, and it was also a chance for a visit, since we hadn't seen them since they were in Florida a couple of months ago.
Before we left the RV park, I saw this little tear drop trailer, pulled by a small car. Small is nice, but this is not for a full-timer! It would be good for a trip to Alaska. Maybe?
On our way to Marysville, I saw this little red roadster. Neat!
Terrell and Kathy have a long-time friend of Kathy's, named Judy, visiting from Florida, who we hadn't seen for many years. In addition, their daughter Gina, with her husband Tim and their kids Blake and Emily were there. So it was a pretty good family gathering, which I love to take part in. Most of these folks are getting older. It's a good thing I'm not intimidated by older people.
We spent some getting reacquainted and playing ball with the kids. Have you ever thought how nice it would be to have the energy at our age that kids seem to have?
Tim cooked up some hamburgers and sausage while Terrell was getting all the trimmings ready. Gina made some queso, which we ate with some tortilla chips. Everyone was getting hungry by the time the food was ready, and we sat down to a nice meal, with everyone talking and laughing. Aren't family gatherings great?
After the meal, we sat around and continued talking, until suddenly we realized that it was getting late in the day. We told everyone good bye, and headed back to the RV. We were tired when we got home, but the visit was great. I'm sure we'll get together again soon.
By the way, the weather was glorious today. It's too bad we can't bottle this and open it when needed.
More later, be safe.
