Sat. We went to Jen's for leftovers at lunch. Linda and Katie made a turkey pot pie for dinner. After dinner Katie and Jen worked on playing a game (survivor). Jen was the host, Mackenzie was sick and didn't play till later. The first thing we did was hula hoop where Katie won amenity. We then did a cheer like game where Linda and I were disqualified and had to go to tribal council. Linda got voted off. The next thing was to balance a ball on a paddle.(2nd picture bottom and Linda was sitting in a chair and fell bottom left picture) Chris won amenity and Katie had the hidden amenity so I was voted off. The next thing was a tasting contest(top three right pictures). Katie ended up winning. It was a very fun night.
Sun. We went to Jen's to pick them up(Mackenzie was sick and did not come) and went to see our old youth minister that now is the minister in Murfreesboro. Afterward we went to Blue Coast a restaurant like Moe's. We had a great time catching up (bottom right picture). When we got back to their house we had desert and Linda and I played cards with Katie and Mackenzie. When we got back to the rig we did some things to get ready to leave tomorrow. We watched some Christmas shows and went to bed.
Mon. We got up this morning, ate and did our bible study. Then we were blessed by having the arms on the tow dolly both extend. We drove to Cordell Ga. and spent the night in the Walmart parking lot. We had lots of rain and fog it was the strongest when we climbed Mt. Eagle. When we got to I-75 the rain stopped and after Atlanta the sun came out. Picture below was taken of us at the Walmart we stayed at.(we forgot to take a picture in the daylight)
Tues. On the road again. The night was not bad we got up and drove to Thousand Trails near Orlando. After we got set up I went and shaved my No Shave November Beard.(see below)
Wed. We got up did a load of laundry, went on a long bike ride and redid the insurances because Vanderbilt will no longer take our insurance. We got an appointment to see our new family doctor in January. After dinner we went to church then to Aldi's for groceries. We got home watched a little TV then bed. It gets so dark early we are both ready for bed by six.
