I have been off-line for the past several days mostly due to getting ready for my small part in the festivities this week.
The campsite I stayed here in Greenville was ok, but not what was advertised. I was put last in a row of other campers which would have made most campers happy, since their view was woods, woods, and more woods. But because I was not getting back to my campsite until 10ish every night and since there were no lights in my area of the campground, it made for some spooky times for me. Next time I use the camper, I'll ask to be put in the middle so I'm surrounded by people.
Robert came Monday night and helped me put the camper in his drive-way so that I could go to a hotel to be with everyone coming in for the wedding. He added scissor jacks to my camper and also mounted my spare tire, both of which were wonderful additions. The scissor jacks will made the stabilization of the camper much easier when it is off the truck ball.
I won't use the camper again until Dec 2 when I head for Austin, (will be in the camper for a little over a month then) but there is a lot going on even without the camper: tomorrow 11 of us are going to the Clemson - Georgia Tech game in Clemson with a wonderful tailgating experience and Clemson is known for its tailgating experiences! Friday is the Rehearsal Dinner and Saturday Robert and Jan get married! Sunday they leave for their honeymoon and I move into their house to keep the dogs. After that, more and more traveling.
The past few days have been hectic trying to get everything done. I think my nails will remain ratty as I'm running out of time, but Sherry has pulled all of the Rehearsal dinner stuff together so well, that Friday should be so much easier than I had thought: BBQ, beer, and family and friends - a great way to begin the week-end.
It has been great going around to all of my old haunts here in G'ville, and although I've lived here 7 different times, it still doesn't feel like home. Knowing the area has certainly helped with all of my errands though and I haven't had to rely on GPS once.
If anyone is reading this,, I'm trying to figure out a name for my camper -- would love suggestions!
Have a great one - go Clemson!!!
