Moving A Little Further South

Mechanicsville, VA   High 90  Low 70 (Thursday)  High 70  Low 63 on Friday.

From the Moose parking lot to our friend’s driveway. We have known Patsy and Tom since back in the 80’s when we all went to Hunter’s Lodge for country dancing.

They gladly let us park in their driveway and use their 30 amp hookup. We have not done any sight seeing. This week has been about visiting with friends and truck maintenance.

That’s a pickle ball court drawn on their driveway so their grandkids can challenge their Granddad.

We have eaten at a couple of our favorite restaurants. The Seafarer for more crab cakes. (I have not reached my limit of crab cakes yet.) And Ned and Buz’s BBQ. We went to both of these restaurants when we were here four years ago. Definitely worth a return visit.

We had dinner with Patsy and Tom and three of their grandchildren one night. The grands are young adults and we laughed and had such a great time. Patsy’s spaghetti was amazing.

One day Jim had to change out a glow plug on the truck. Another day he put in new headlights. The old ones were really in bad shape. They actually look worse than this picture shows.

Don’t the new ones look great?
