Phaeton Place is home again!

We are back in Red Bay, Alabama, birthplace of Phaeton Place. We arrived this morning in anticipation of getting the rig washed and in place in time to watch the Nascar race. We didn't need to be in such a hurry. It is 4:15 p.m. now and the race has just started, having been rain delayed for 2 hours. We had an appointment, so we go into Bay 2 at 7 a.m. Hopefully after a couple days we will be on our way, which will take us to Charlottesville, Virginia, to see Ronan, our 6 week old grandson. I can't wait to see him.

We had an enjoyable few days in Mississippi. We camp there at Piney Grove Campground at Bay Springs Lake. It is a nice camp, really busy with a lot of kids on the weekends but we have 50 amp there with water, so we are comfortable. Friday we drove the Natchez Trace over to Tupelo to get a few groceries and then stopped by Uncle Bob's later in the afternoon. We chatted with him for an hour or so, then headed home to the campground. The reunion yesterday was not as well attended as it has been in the past, but we still did get to see lots of relatives and catch up on what everyone has been doing in the past year. The food was great as usual and it was good to see everyone again.

We left in the afternoon and came home and spent time with the dogs and fed them supper, then headed back in to Shirley's to see her, Aunt Teen and Gary and Jo. Gary and Jo live in Louisiana and their place is always a stopping point for us on the way west in the fall and the way back east in the spring. Gary is a charter fishing captain and has several charters this week. He was anxious to get back fishing. They are building a house up on posts over the water at Leeville, Louisiana, and it looks like they will have it finished before long. If you want to go fishing, he promises you a great time. We have been there and plan to go back sometime. Check it out. . . Lewis and Harp . . . ask for Captain Gary.

We are settled in at Red Bay for the night and tomorrow will be getting coach work done.

Till next time. . .
