Shirl’s RV Park

We arrived at Shirl’s mid afternoon. She came out to greet us, and tell us the rates had been raised from $2 a day to $2.25. Things are tough since prices went up. LOL


The place is beautiful, She has all the limbs picked up that blew down in the storm, grass is cut and bushes trimmed. Great to come home to a beautiful park.


To answer Mel’s question. I am one tough dude, but not as tough as Slim, I did ask Sherry her opinion before I said YES on the house.


We looked at our soon to be house/home for the first time. Pictures do not tell the whole story, I have been around long enough to know that. But we are satisfied with the outside.


Too much yard work FOR US THOUGH, Shirl would love it. Funny I was looking at the property lines, not exactly sure where they would be. A little later the neighbor started cutting his grass, he started about where I had been looking. Sherry said, “He is showing you where the line is.” YEP.


We were in the car about the time he started or I would have went out to talk to him.


We know the folks across the street! Didn’t realize it until after we agreed to buy it. How great is it to be named Wacker? That is his name, Wacker Carver is 85 now, we had a good talk. He said ,”You will like it here, it is quiet.”


“Not any more, if Sherry moves in!” said I.


We all had a good laugh while standing in the road, that gives you an idea of the traffic. haha!


Good trip, except for the fuel, that is. We saw two accidents, both motorcycle wrecks and they were about a mile apart. Don’t know the injuries.


The drive thru the Smokies was great as usual. Yes Spring actually LIVES!


Thanks for coming by the log.

She sure knew how to decorate an Audi! She bought the picks with a check from their joint bank account.

Are you two settling down or did I misunderstand?

I think your RV park rates can't be beat. Sounds like you are going to be busy for a good long while. Glad you found Spring...it tried to get here today but didn't quite make it. Maybe tomorrow.

Are you and Sherry finally settling down? After our 90 degree temps yesterday, go where the weather is the best. No extreme highs and no extreme lows. Like Ne. and Wisconsin and Michigan. Ma, we found summer yesterday way before it's time.
