Hit The Road Jack

...but you may just be coming back. Here’s the deal folks. We’ll be hitting the road at the end of the week. The company is sending us to Bessemer City, North Carolina. It’s a little bitty place about 25 miles west of Charlotte, population 5,300. It’ll be a small job, just 2 to 3 weeks, then the plan is for us to come back to Nashville and winter over here. There’s plenty of work left here in the Music City but Bessemer City needs a little attention too. We’re going to miss it here but at the same time we’re looking forward to a little small town atmosphere and change of scenery.

As I mentioned in the last post we planned to take in Oktoberfest and in fact did go last Saturday, along with half of Nashville and then some it seemed. The polka band was jammin’ and the beer was flowing but I have a beef with Mr. Samual Adams. Sam - $15.00 for a mug of beer! Really? We actually drew the line there and didn’t drink, just wandered around. Margo found the cat adoption tent and almost brought a little Tabby home but was informed that it was the shelter mascot and she could not have that particular kitty.

The streets were packed. The streets were packed.




More cowbell!!!! More cowbell!!!!

DSCN1484As you can see it was a shorts and flip flops kind of day last Saturday but as I write this a week later old man winter is knocking. He blew in a few days ago so we’ve transitioned to unpacking the winter clothes and sitting around the fire. Margo started a new craft project just in time for the season. She got turned onto making a Monk’s cloth afghan, aka Swedish weaving, from my brother’s wife Teresa back when we were together in late July at Mom’s. It’s in the early stages but I asked her to get going on it – brrrrr!

All in all we’ve enjoyed our stay here at Countryside RV Resort. It really is very quiet and peaceful as well as convenient to the big city. The Boys really enjoyed the meadows but are itchin’ to put on their road hound badges and get moving. It’s all about new sights and smells for them. Us too, although we’ll leave the sniffing to them.  We leave you with some scenes from the trailer park.

Each row has a theme. We were sheep. Each row has a theme. We were sheep.

    Good to see your both still doing well. Looking forward to you getting further west like say New Mexico.

    I just got to read this, busy busy like usual. I think Ted and I would also not paid $15 for a beer, but intsead of not drinking we would have hoofed it to a Circle K and slipped a six pack in my bag! What's Ocktoberfest without beer! Really! Margo the project looks fun. I am really disappointed to hear you are not coming south for the winter (like geese). So that means we have to plan a trip somewhere in the middle. Kevin give Ted a call and we will see what we can work out. We are moving Jess the first week in December to Jacksonville NC, so maybe we can try something then.

    Love Dawn
