Misc, lots of things-June 17, 2011

I did not blog yesterday because all we really did was go to Paula Deen's Kitchen in Cherokee for lunch. It was positively dreadful. I think she may get a letter from me, seriously. We had a longer talk with our neighbors this morning. They are from South Carolina. It's a nice couple who has 3 boys. All 3 are cute as can be. They are very active boys and it is fun to watch them. Their dad told us today that when it rains, the boys go to Jonathan Creek beside our park and watch for watermelons floating downstream. People upstream put their melons in the water to keep them cool. When it rains like it did Wednesday the get loose and float downstream. And here all I saw was a garbage can and a "bunch" of ducks. I had no idea what I missed. What dummies we are, we put our melons in our refrigerator! The storm was much worse than we thought. Trees fell across the highways. The DOT came in and cut them up and tossed them to the side of the road. We booked our next park. It is in Roebuck, South Carolina. The reviews are good so we are looking forward to it. We have already checked out our space online. While we are traveling we learn so much from the internet about the parks we hope to go to and about their pros and cons. We know we have to plan ahead for the days around July 4th. We surely don't want to have to park in a WalMart lot. We will if we HAVE to, but we hope we can avoid that. Our day consisted of a trip to Wally World so we would have food supplies to get us down the road. Waynesville has a fabulous new WalMart that is divided into three distinct sections. You enter the door you need the most. It's a great store. It's time for our walk around the park. Hope your week is going well.
