Sunday - March 22

What a day.......started out with warm sunshine and we "went to Mass from Boston with the bishop".    A 30-minute mass with very good homily. 

Okay, so on the road by 10:30 and had about 300 miles today.    Stopped for lunch at a rest stop and then Mark heard the alarm go off our tire pressure monitor.   A Pilot truck stop was just 1 mile away, so pulled in there, got some air and then backtracked to Cordele (10 miles south) where a nice guy at Mavis Truck and Tire put in a new tire valve.    This all took about 1.5 hrs.    Okay, let's get going again.....but not much further on the road heading north again....the rain started and it was a nasty afternoon.    Rained very hard at times and glad when we finally got off I-75 and could be on a much less-travelled 4-lane (540E).

Arrived at the Heritage Park RV Resort in Augusta at 5:45.    It was still pouring but got inside Flo, Mark got the electrical hooked up and we are warm and toasty (current temp here is 55).   

Even with all the rain, we saw budding trees, pretty azaleas and red bud trees in bloom - spring has arrived in Georgia.   But unlike the song, "A Rainy Night in Georgia", this was a very "Rainy Afternoon in Georgia"!!!   

Michael and family arrived home late last night from Cabo.    Drew flew from Cabo to Phoenix to Cedar Rapids, took a cab to Iowa City, slept and been on the road this afternoon and planning to drive all the way home.....

Our kids wanted us close to family....IL has cold and snow and RV parks are not open.    Michael offered us their cottage at the lake AND, today, sanitized it and stocked fridge, cupboards!    Can't beat that.    Sure blessed with great kiddos!

Stay safe, healthy and happy!
