Tom and Betty Arrive!



Our spot for 6 weeks
May 17 -  We woke to rain and reports of it being 100% all day.  We were to meet with Natalie at 9 at the Work Center so headed over after breakfast.  No one there!  Later called her office and she was off today and expected us yesterday. I guess she and Kathy don’t communicate very well.  We changed to one day later over a month ago.  So all of the rangers were in classes or off so we just got more organized and waited for Tom and Betty to arrive.  They were here about noon and he did an excellent job of getting their huge 5th wheel into the only possible spot.  Of course Betty and I were paramount in his success with our backing directions!

I came home and made us some lunch while they set up and had lunch also.  I had to balance my checkbook and prepare some paperwork for work and set up my expense spreadsheet for the summer.  It was still drizzling all afternoon and we made plans to pick Betty and Tom up and we headed to Stuart’s Draft.  As we approached town there was a dog in the road in front of the car ahead of us.  That dog refused to get off the road and just strutted along in the center of the lane.  Several cars stopped and tried to coax him off the road and into a car as it had a tag, but that dog was having none of it.  Traffic was backed up both ways and it finally went over to the other lane and we got through.  Hope he went on home and let everyone else go too. 

We got in just at closing at the Cheese Shop.  Yum!  I got Lebanon bologna and some Colby jack and of course Bill and I each got a fried pie, mine coconut!  Double yum!  Betty got a bag of stuff also and then we headed on to Waynesboro.  We completed our stop at Wal-mart and it was dinner time.  It was clearing off by now but getting colder out.  I saw a Pizza sign across the lot and knew they all liked pizza and calzone so we headed there.  Betty and Tom’s medium pizza was huge as was Bill’s calzone.  They all raved about their food.  Knowing there was a coconut pie waiting for me I went with an antipasto salad which was also good and much better for me. The place was only open for 3 weeks, New Adventure Pizza & Italian Food on Tiffany Drive.  I'm sure we will be going back.

I was shocked that I could get on the computer using my one bar for a hotspot.  Maybe it’s a fluke!  Anyway, I managed to get a couple of days posted and some photos uploaded so maybe I can get on track now.
In addition to the rain it’s still cold out and the rain makes it seem even colder.  It’s supposed gradually get warmer this week.
