DAY 213: SATURDAY, MAY 9, 2020: LEAVING ST MARYS , GA TO ORANGEBURG, SC

I dressed to run, then thought we should be on our way earlier than later. so, I made English muffin sandwiches and off we went. By 8:05 we were on the road. We stopped twice to try to purchase a light cover that blew off on our way  to Dt Marys. We stopped at Campers World. They did not have one. We stopped at Boat and RV in, When I called, they said the had one but it was the wrong size. 2 strikes, no cover, on our way we went. Tom can order one on line. 

We heard from Linda and all us well. Michelle and Chan wished us safe travels...yeah! 

I ordered Joseph's birthday 💝. All this time to do things, but things seem to take forever. So much time, yet, no. I don't know how time goes by. 

Jann and Bill checked in. We arrived at HomeStay, in Orangeburg and met Hope and Jeff. They remembered J and B. This park is an open field with electric snd water hookups. Easy, Quick, and comfortable. We are by the pond.

TO. WORKING ON TOMORROW'S JOURNEY

A VERY DUSTY JEEP AFTER A RIDE ON THE DIRT ROAD

I went for a long walk and called Linda L, Mom and Joan. All as best as can be expected. 

OUR SPOT BY THE POND AT HOME STAY RV


MORE HUMOUR FROM RICK AND CAROLYN, CUTE

Jeff and Hope stopped by. They gave us the run down of what they want to do to this park. They stayed with us and chatted for a long time. Jeff left and returned with a bottle of moonshine for Tom. Jann and Bill were right. What a great couple!  We have a plan to stop 🛑 here again in the fall. They suggested we come on a weekend, give him a heads up so he can get the grill ready for a big Bbq. We plan to return in the fall on our way back to Florida. We hope to keep in touch with them to see their progress to build 20camp sites here. Jeff said they have had mostly college kids here in tents. He let them camp near the pool and in the gameroom out of the rain and inclement weather. What kind people. She is a nurse on furlough. He is a powerline  worker going where needed during emergencies. We spoke for over an hour. 

After dinner, Tom and I took a walk on their many paths through the woods and found her vineyard where Hope is arranging vines to grow these strange grapes used to make wine. 

Kath and Norm texted to check on our progress. Hope to see them this summer.

All the 426 girls have been texting to see where we are. As Jane was texting, I was doing her Yoga class from You Tube. Funny. 

Joan and Gordon are home. Can't wait to see them in RI. 

Lots of Happy Mothers Day wishes being sent around these. 

Ready to sleep by 9. A long day!

TOOK OUT THE FISH FOOD FROM A BIN NEAR THE  POND AND MANY OF THESE LITTLE CRITTERS CAME UP TO FEED. SEE THE PELLETS
