Our rally was held at Bluewater RV Resort And Marina which sits on the Richland Creek embayment of Chickamauga Lake and a couple miles east of Dayton, TN.
After getting Eliza her first bike and a big wheel in early April, we have finally gotten together to give them to her. She’s getting them now so she can use them this summer since her BD and Christmas are Nov & Dec – but you knew that.
We got the Big Wheel for her to use when she comes here to ride on our driveway and the bike to take home and use in a park on grass to start – less skinned up body parts that way.
On day four, most of the group went to Huddle House for breakfast then for a tour of Bryan College. William Jennings Bryan obviously made an impact on Dayton during the Scopes Monkey Trial as they named the college after him and believe it or not, one of our club members went there (even though he lived in Ohio) and he arranged for a tour. Bryan is a small private Christian college with about 800 students and an academic staff of 200 full and part time. Their endowment is $6 million vs Harvard’s $51 billion.
HOW CAN WE
POSSIBLY THANK THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES SO WE CAN LIVE AS WE DO.
Once again, day 3 began with a breakfast of turkey salad and our morning was devoted to organizing some things in the coach.
Ten members of our group rented a pontoon boat for a tour
of the lake while Steve (our neighbor) took folks for rides on our jet ski
which he had pulled to the rally. Since
I wanted no part of the sun and I get to ride a pontoon boat whenever I want,
Bev and I passed on the boat ride but we went down to see them off.
As you may know, Blogger no longer sends out notices when I post so I am putting together an email list and I'll let you know when I put up a new post. If you'd like to be on the list, just send me your email address.
Cindy has a client and friend, Glennie, that she has been wanting to have over for dinner and we finally got it scheduled. Cindy advised that Glennie likes salmon so when our neighbors ask what they could bring us back from Joe Patti’s Seafood Market during their recent trip to Florida, I requested Norwegian salmon.

Day two of our RV rally began with a breakfast of turkey salad for me and a trip to a Van Go professional knife sharpener to work on our (including neighbors) 33 knives, 10 scissors, and 5 garden pruners. He charged $5 for most knives and scissors then one item was $15 - it sure is nice to have them all very sharp again and he told me how to keep them that way - give the knife a couple of licks on a steel every time you pick it up, not just each time you use it.
After a group lunch at the pavilion of leftovers from last nights supper, we headed over to the old courthouse for presentation in the Scopes Monkey Trial Museum then we went upstairs to the very warm courtroom. This is the old courthouse outside and a statue of William Jennings Bryan.
