We had a good time in Tennessee. It did rain on us, of course it almost always rains some while we are there. Tuesday night we got a real gully washer. It rained so hard that water ponded on our big awning and it wouldn't drain properly, at least that is what we think happened. Around 2 AM one end of the awning collapsed because of the weight of the water. We had planned on leaving for Michigan early Tuesday morning but the awning repairs slowed us down considerably.
Finally with the help of my very handy brother-in-law (actually it was more like I helped him), and Andy, we got the awning rolled back up and stabilized against the motor home. Substantial repairs will be needed once we get back to Missouri.
We arrived at my Mom's, at Coldwater Lake, about 1 AM. The trip was about 590 miles. We did stop at Demo's, in Lebanon, TN, for a late lunch. Kathy and I both really like that place.
Kathy, Kelsey, Lydia, Melissa & Andy went to Angola for lunch at Auntie V's, Kathy's niece's place. They are also going to get some groceries. I stayed at Mom's with her and Pressley, my brothers granddaughter.
Last nights low was 58 and the high today is supposed to be a sunny, breezy 81.
Hope all of you have a great day. May God bless you and yours.
PS. I will take a couple of photos and post them tomorrow for those who haven't seen my Mom's place.
