Summerdale, Alabama

We made it from Reddick, Florida, to Summerdale, Alabama, in one long day of driving. It took 7.5 hours but it was an easy drive. It was clear and dry all the way....all the way until we checked in at the office of this Escapees park. THEN it began to rain. The park is full so we are in dry camp mode until they apply the "first in first out" rule.

We set up in the rain, went to the happy hour and learned about all the many and varied activities this park has. They have so many things to do I'll probably not have time to read - although they have a very nice library here. They have knitting, beading, quilting, pine needle basket weaving, crocheting, woodcarving, wall st. watchers, computer club, gentle exercise class, line dancing, etc. These are all separate classes and gatherings. They even have a group that flies kits most days. There are breakfasts, dining out, and dinners every week, along with the usual bingo, card night, 4 o'clock social hour and ice cream on Sundays. We are going to their Valentine's dinner and dance tonight.

We drove to Foley for dinner, and retired to listen to the rain; and listen; and listen. It rained all night and will again today, tonight and tomorrow day. We are actually in a flood warning right now, but we can still see the ground, so I guess we are ok.

I'm using the battery on the computer to type this post. So if you don't hear from me for a couple of days don't worry. I'm either too busy with one activity or the other, or we don't have the generator going to charge the computer battery. With this weather we don't want the park to move someone so we can get into their spot....we'll just wait it out.

Remember, you are loved.
