On Christmas day we had lunch with 24 other campers at the campground's annual Christmas luncheon. Food included a spiral cut ham and a good variety of sides and desserts including Georgia pecan pie. We had a good time and met some of the other campers here.

What highway are we on and which way do we go?

We're getting settled here in Perry, GA. Perry and the surrounding area is a lot less congested than the McAllen-Mission Texas area was. We've located laundromats, grocery stores, wal-marts, camping world, Honda and Itasca dealers, golf courses, hospitals and restaurants. Lots of Baptist churches down here. Temps have been running above normal this week. Highs have been in the 70s. Next week is supposed to be cooler with highs only in the 50s and 60s.

Trip to Perry, GA

Friday we drove down to Perry, GA(Our Winter Home). We took some pictures along the way.

This is what things looked like when we left Nashville. We just can't get away from the snow.

We had about 2 inches of snow Thursday evening.

Is that a mountain off in the distance?

Early Christmas then Good-Bye to Iowa

On Sunday we had Christmas with Mom, Bothers and Sister. Santa showed up and was a hit with the kids. We had a good time and enjoyed catching up on things with family we don't see that often. Then Sunday evening we had Christmas with Tony and Kathy and Jeff and Micky and Grandkids.

Spent Monday Night in Harrah's Casino Parking Lot in St Louis

On Tuesday we drove down to Nashville, TN. The trip from St Louis to Nashville was NOT fun. We drove in rain for over 300 miles and at times the winds were very gusty and the rain very heavy. Traffic in Nashville was at a crawl due to the heavy rain and traffic accidents. The last few miles seemed to take forever. The good news though was no snow and temps in the 50s.

Will spend a few days here then go on down to Georgia for the Winter.

Winter Camping in Iowa

No Golfing Today

Believe it or not we're not alone here in the campground. There are another 2 or 3 sites occupied. Everyday we check the propane level and pray for sunshine and warmer temps. Tonight's low is forecast to be around 10 degrees. On Monday I took the motorhome up to Forest City to have some service work done. Nancy stayed with Tony and Kathy. I stayed in the motorhome Monday night. The overnight low up there in the North country was 9 degrees. On Tuesday morning one of the leveling jacks was frozen to the ground. It took a crowbar and a couple blocks of wood to pry it loose. Did some shopping on Tuesday while the motorhome was being serviced. Drove back to the campground Tuesday night because snow and high winds were forecast for Wednesday. Got back to the campground around 8pm. The temp was still in the 30s and it actually felt warm. Nancy and Kathy went shopping on Tuesday.

Maybe we should think about going South soon.
