Arriving McRae's and Friday at McRae's (9/25/2015)

As predicted, we woke up to rain.  Joe had hooked up the car last night and dumped the tanks, so all he had to do was unhook the electricity, and it actually was barely sprinkling then so we were good to go.  We were on the road at 8:10, pretty early start.  We got back up on I-40 and followed it to Crossville, TN, where we picked up US 70 and headed southwest.  We missed our turn in Sparta so we ended up on 111 to Spencer, then took scenic 30 back to 70/55, which took us right to Manchester.  It rained all morning and into mid-afternoon.  We arrived at Mike and Nancy's at 12:20, and Mike was sitting in the garage waiting for us.  They got a little damp getting the RV situated next to the driveway, but then we were set up.  We drove 195 miles today.

Nancy was still at work, so while Joe and Mike visited, I took some more cold medicine and took a nap.  We collected our packages of prescription medicine that we had ordered to ship here, so it was good to get that taken care of.  Surely, we now have enough to get us home.  Eventually, we went out for dinner, and played a game of Hand and Foot before calling it a day.

On Friday, we woke up to rain again. I did get some pictures of our camp site between raindrops.

 Mike fixed his famous biscuits and gravy for breakfast, then we headed out to the Top of the Mountain to the Flea Market.  Unfortunately, it is only open on Sundays now, but there was a farmer's market behind it that we shopped a little.  Mike has set up his own table here in the past so he was familiar with the guy running it.  We picked up some tomatoes, blueberries and peaches.  Joe asked about gourds (for his birdhouse plans when we get home) and the guy said he would bring some tomorrow, so the plan is that we will come back here tomorrow when the Flea Market is open.

There was another Flea Market on the other side of town, so we hit it, but they didn't have very many booths open.  I assume they will have more tomorrow as well.  Then we stopped at a garage sale on the way home, so it was just a "thrifty" day.

After dinner, we played Hand and Foot again.  We laughed and laughed -- it is never good to get Joe and Mike together.  Lisa and David returned home from their mud bogging weekend while we played, but I think we were probably a bit too much nonsense for Lisa. Of course, Mike and Nancy have to take cigarette breaks every so often, so we all spend a lot of time in the garage.  But a good time was had by all.

Tomorrow is a full agenda -- back to the Flea Market in the morning, and to the Elvis concert tomorrow night.  Hope to get to watch a bit of the Arizona Cardinals football game in the afternoon, but it probably won't be shown here.  Go Cardinals!!
