I just stumbled across this draft, never published, from a couple years ago and figured “why not”?
On November 15, we bought another house! This one in Sevierville, just minutes from the parkway, from all the restaurants and action, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Our bus has been idle in the driveway since we moved in on November 28.
But Saturday, we took off for Nashville, where Carol wanted to attend Imaging20, the big Photographers convention.
Good to know, the bus has been perfect. Everything still works. There are a few things we wish we had brought, but mostly we have everything we need. (Knock on wood) the Aquahot has been flawless, keeping us warm and cozy no matter what mother nature threw at us. And throw she did. Until today, we were looking at lows in the lower 20’s and highs in the upper 20’s, with wind and snow flurries. Walking the dogs has been just nuts (they didn’t mind a bit…), heck, we’re whimpy now, pretty much anything has been nuts.
Our days have been “wake up early” “Drive Carol to Opryland” “clean up the bus” “walk the dogs” “pickup Carol”
Today has been really good though. I got on the phone with Winegard and learned a bit of good things about our Trav’ler satelite dish. The weather has been better. All the way up to 38 this afternoon, downright balmy! And Carol had a short day today, we got to go out some. We went to a nearby antique store and picked up another dozen or so great record albums, went downtown to music row for a bit, and had some great Mexican food back at Opryland.
