Knoxville, TN 1/4/09

A lazy day. Finally left Berea, KY. It had rained hard off and on all night. We got the car hooked up between rains. It stopped raining about the Ky/Tn border. I had gotten my knitting out since I couldn't see any animals. They were all hiding in dry spots.

My needle work consists of knitting dish cloths, hot pads, and crocheting scrubbies. Have to keep the family supplied. Except our son and grandson informed me the dish cloths make great doilies ?or pads for hot dishes. Oh, well,, if they are used, who cares?

We stopped in Knoxville, TN to see the Freightliner shop,. Seems as tho our air pressure is not
staying where it should be. So thought we should check it out. The lady was very nice and was concerned about our time. She was told that we do not know where we are going, when we get there, and we do not really care. What? Well, that is our motto most of the time. Just so we have our own RV bed to sleep in at night. So, 7 am we will be in line to have the air pressure problem checked out. She will see that we get in right away.

The temp was in the 60's today. We stopped at flying J for fuel and some water. Yah, about the water!!! Diesel was $2.10 a gal. Whoopee!!!! Then on to look for a place to eat. Just happened to spot an antique shop and so we had to check that out. Asked about a place to eat, not the usual chain places. We ate at
Aubry's in Farragut, TN.. Delicious. rack of ribs, baked potato and a fresh salad. we split one
meal. No, I do not cook the first few days out. No water and usually no electric. We do have
coffee in the am. cereal too, and I made ham salad before we left. (with ham, like Mother made). Enough for today. The deck of cards are out, time for a game or two someone taught us when we were in Alabama two years ago. See you
