We went to hard labor because we've been there before. Half the time I focus mostly on my Aunt Blanche and cousin Kathy but it's also within a short drive to India's sister Tommye. I guess this time we leaned a little more towards Tommye a little less towards auntie.
I had a really nice visit with my aunt Blanche who was a big part of my raising and I'm very close to her emotionally when we were going south the previous winter.
I had such a good visit and potentially good closure that if I don't see her again, I guess that's okay.
It's a lot better than meaning to see somebody and then them passing on and you feeling guilty about it. I don't have to feel guilty about anything where she's concerned.
We talked to hard labor State Park and they said actually we are packed. There is some vacancy if you are okay with equestrian. I actually prefer that.

I said that would be fine and she said it's got water and electric and its more what I want in an RV site. It's kind of on the other side of the park but again I didn't care. It was actually a little secret that she kind of wink winked at me and said it's really probably better than the real RV camping because you have the whole place to yourself it's very woodsy.
I don't know if there was a cell signal at the big RV place or not but there was very little to none at the equestrian. I walked up the hill to where I could get your signal downloaded something and went back it was all good.
We used our time here I think it was three nights this time to visit with Tommye and Neal and just have a nice visit. The next day we went to The UU Church in Athens Georgia.
As we got settled in, I noticed I was having a mighty hard time with the air conditioner cutting off and cutting on and never really seemed to work very well.
I thought it was our air conditioner but I checked power and I was getting a wacky reading.
It looks like I was only getting about 92 volts I nosed around and there was a vacant site a couple of places over and it was reading a full 120 volts.
I moved the camper over there in the air conditioner started working great. At some point went by the front desk and they swapped my reservation around.
We didn't really do a whole lot but it was enjoyable to visit with India sister Tommye.
