HARD TO BELIEVE...

I can't believe my last blog was over 2 weeks ago! So much has happened in that time.  After repairing the tent, we left Mountain City & headed to Virginia.  On our drive I saw the havoc the tornadoes wreaked upon the land.  Here's some pictures.




I was driving of course so the pictures aren't all that great. 

On our 3rd day in Virginia, I arrived at the lot to discover we had to drive over a small gully.  As I attempted to cross over, my outside plumbing got ripped off.  Oh the joy of fresh honey all over a pristine lot!  I'm still trying to get it fixed but since we have had long jumps it has been difficult.

About a week ago, I noticed it was time to do laundry once again. I have been looking for a laundromat ever since.  I had every intention of going to the laundromat at our last 2 day stand on Sunday.  Unfortunately, the town had other plans.  There was not a laundromat within 20 miles of that town. I just find it hard to believe that a town would not have a laundromat.

But wait, there's more!! Since we left there, it has gone downhill fast.  I have run out of bread, milk, sugar, tea bags, kitty litter, & wet cat food.  I am giving my cat treats sparingly because I am dangerously low on them as well. If he doesn't have his YUM YUMS in the morning as a bribe to get in the carrier, he can be HARD to load up. You would figure that every town would have at least a grocery store.

Tomorrow is Day 4 of nine one day stands & it will be a 70 mile trip.  Since it is a fairground, I hope there will be city electric as the $25 a day I have spent the last 3 days to keep the generator running is slightly killing my pocket. 

In 3 days I will be out of West Virginia & will play one town in Maryland, before hitting the Land of Milk & Honey, also known as Pennsylvania, for 2 months.  Hopefully, sometime before I arrive in Pennsylvania, I will find a laundromat & grocery store to attend to all my needs.  Otherwise, I guess I will be washing out more outfits in the sink to see me thru. As for the grocery part, I guess a convenience store will have to suffice.

Until later, God Bless, see you down the road!
