There's a hole in my house!

April 12, 2018
Well, I have had quite some adventures since I last blogged.  I left my friends in Lena, MS a day early to have a beautiful leisurely,drive to Oxford, Mississippi.  I didn't want to rush to make my 10 AM appt. with the Professor to get my tour.  The drive up was awesome. Spring is truly springing.  I could see every shade of green, from the deepest hunter green to the lightest yellow (almost white) green, all along the road, all in one field of vision, then accented with a white Dogwood occasionally, it was beautiful!  I arrived at the Walmart where I was to meet Dr. Colby and I was able to stock up on supplies.  I had a great night sleep and at 10 in the morning, Dr. Colby came and he took me on the most interesting tour of “Old Miss” founded in 1843.
He was the most interesting, his wife is in Shaklee and had actually qualified for the all-expense paid trip to Los Cabos, Mexico.   She qualified for him to go but he couldn't get off work, to travel and she was on the trip as we toured.  He was also invited by Dr. Daggy, to speak at the Medical Affairs segment of the Convention in August, but couldn't go then either.  He has been to several of the Conventions in the past.  He knows the quality of Shaklee and approved of my “Cell” presentation as a “simple“ way of explaining it.  He has his own lab at the University where he tests natural products for Medical uses.  They grow and test Marijuana (high fenced in Greenhouses with a guardhouse like a prison).  The Campus is beautiful and a lot of research and clinical studies are done there.

When the tour was ended, I drove on to Florence, Alabama.  Another beautiful drive, some of it on the Natchez Trace, (a long 440 mile historic forest trail extending from Natchez,Mississippi and into Alabama, and to Nashville,Tenn) like a well cared for Parkway with river, lakes, Indian Burial Mounds, beautiful landscape and no traffic.  I arrived in Florence, turned off the road to call my friends, and then I heard this awful scraping sound. I stopped, got out to look and I had damaged the top right rear corner of RV and scraped the side by turning too sharp and hitting the top of a porch overhang, of the Rhodesville Cafe.  I was able to get free of it without further damage to the porch (which was minimal) but my Motor Home has a big hole in it (all the way through to the inside). I  could have seen the sunrise without even getting out of bed, by just opening my closet door.  Thank God it didn't rain.
I called the insurance Company, they gave me a claim number but it was around 4 PM and they were closed so I had to wait until in the morning to see what they will do.  I have pretty good insurance, I hope.  No-one was hurt, it didn't rain, I learned to not cut corners, and it will be interesting and another adventure to see how this plays out.  “ And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God and are the called according to His purpose”.Rom 8:28
I will try to send pictures.  Looks like I will go to Ardmore, TN to get it fixed, I have RV full timers insurance so they will take care of up to $750 in Hotel and rental car expense.
I followed my friends to the Walmart, parked the RV and had a wonderful visit and salad at Zaxby's, It was awesome!
