We arrived here on Saturday, and found our Nephew Wally, Niece Ellen and Mark along with Tyler and his buddy Dillon. Mark invited us to attend an annual extended family affair that was going on later Saturday afternoon. Mark told us that we were invited to partake of Brunswick Stew prepared by his Mother's Cousin Leonard Brown. Sounded good to us, so at the appointed time, off we went.
I was completely unprepared for the scale of this event, as I'm sure that over 100 "family" were fed over the course of the afternoon.

Being from a small family, I can only say how envious I am of Mark and Ellen and their large extended family. Lovely and warm people who made us feel welcome.
Backing up a bit, we had a nice visit with Herb and Caroline Jukes in their new home in Bowling Green. Having some experience in moving, we were pleased to find that Herb and Caroline survived the move with something approaching ease, and are in the midst of becoming comfortably settled. Caroline, an Alzheimer's victim, maintains her sense of humor. Good to see.
Friday, we pulled up stakes and decided to drive until we were tired, and then find a Walmart to park overnight. We did this, spending the night at a a Super Walmart in Bristol, Virginia. It was easy peasy. We checked with the greeter for permission and were told to park out of the way by the automotive center. We walked around the store, bought a new Atlas and picked up dinner from the Deli. A few hours reading and we turned in early. When we woke up Thursday morning, we had two other RV's snugged up beside us. Free camping, the convenience of a full service Walmart steps away beats $45 at a KOA hands down.
We are spending a lazy Sunday afternoon with football games on. I followed the Chiefs game on the internet. 6-0! Go Chiefs.
