New Adventures Await...

Wendy and I are starting out tomorrow on a new and much anticipated adventure for the next 9+ months!  We'll start with the replacement of our obnoxiously loud air conditioner at the mother ship in Tennessee, then on to Tunica Mississippi, then to southern Texas and on to the Q!  Quartzsite, Arizona.  The Q hosts 10's of thousands of RV's, travel trailers, and campers of all sorts, during January and February of each year.  We've met quite a few people who plan to meet there and play a little music, burn a few burgers, and tell some "war stories" around the campfire.  We hope the weather cooperates and can enjoy the desert southwest.  It's in the middle of desert country...no amenities provided... just sand, cacti, poisonous critters, and hopefully, a ton of fun.  After that...we don't know.  To catch up on the past few weeks here are a few photos. 

This is a photo of a block of enamel about to be shaped by a machine controlled by computer, wirelessly, into a cap for Wendy's tooth.  The whole process was mesmerizing and fascinating to watch!  The end result was a great success.

On the way back to SC we stopped at a B&B in Bluefield, WV.  It was an historic building that Woodrow Wilson, JFK, a few Nobel Peace Prize recipients, and of course us, have visited :) 

We enjoyed a very tasty breakfast and sat next to friends of Wendy's cousin, Don, who used to live a couple of streets away from them on Seabrook Island.  We didn't know them before our encounter at our breakfast table.  Small world :)

Jane and Jim ( I'm relying on 3 week old memory cells...so I'm probably wrong) were very interesting and fun to be with.

Gwyn and Veston's family are such a blessing to us :) 

Just for the record, Jayce did not catch the shrimp!

Yes, that's a lot of rice...you can't go wrong with too much rice at a Japanese steak house!

I wish I'd taken a few pictures of our visit with Joseph, Robert and Vickie at a cornhole tournament we were invited to... next time, I hope.

This may have been one of the worst scoring golf outings we have experienced but one of the best times we've had on a golf course :)  Jim's thumbs up is, for sure, about the hot dog I had to buy for betting he couldn't make a virtually impossible putt.. I was wrong in my assumption!
