Today we had a wonderful lunch with some of Tim's relatives The Buckners. YUM! Thanks you guys! Then I think before it was over half the town had come by. Late in the afternoon we spent some time with Tim's cousin Shirley . . . the one who is allowing us to courtesy park on their property across the road. She and her husband are building their new home in front of their existing place. Later they will demolish the older home. They will have a beautiful place when its done. It's always great to catch up with everyone on our visits here. Then we did more chores for Louise this evening. Even though it has turned out to be a busy day I was still able to take a few photos. Louise always sets up feeders for the humming birds and it takes no time at all for the little tykes to show up. We took a nice stroll down the hill to the creek on Louise's property. Things are now beginning to grow up a bit along the its shores.
Now our short stay in Oneonta Alabama is coming to an end. All way too fast. Tomorrow morning we will begin heading North East to our next stop. Along the way we will be paralleling part of the Tennessee River through some of the most beautiful back country around. We hope we will be able to stay on back roads as much as possible and stay off the interstates. We plan on departing early just in case we see places along the way we want to investigate. Once we get to our next stop, where we've stayed prior, we will have no cell or internet service. We will be going off grid. SO at this point I'm not sure when the next blog post will take place. But I will be sure to keep everyone caught up.
We want to thank Louise, Tim's mother, for her gracious hospitality. She always takes such great care of us. The Buckners are, as always, the best hosts for a family gathering. And we want to thank Tim's cousin, Shirley and her husband Randy, who allowed us to courtesy park on their property here. Louise has a very short and steep drive way. Tim's truck would have absolutely, no doubt about it, had any trouble getting our Airstream into Louise's place but the problem lies with . . . will the Airstream have it's bumper, tanks and all its piecey parts once we get to the top or back out onto the road again. We still have many miles ahead of us and I'm not one to take any chances. Stay tuned for our next stop!!!
