We did it backwards this time, putting the pictures in after I had written. So you get the pictures and captions first and then more about the days happenings at the end.The golf cart "trams" that we drove. We were to pick up those that had blue handicap name cards first. Then others that needed a lift and the big tram was not in sight.
Here is Ernie with Tommie and Pat. They work for the Frieghtliner Company as a liason for the Frieghtliner Club. Great people and fun to work and talk to when ever we see them.Me on the cart. The sun had come out. I usually had three or 4 layers of sweaters or jackets on me. Especially on Tuesday at 6:30 am.
The Frustrated Maestros. Band and Chorus. They gave a great performance this am. The last half hour was patriotic. Good.
Me outside the coffee, donut tent. They start serving at 7 and go until 9am. I got hot chocolate. Not as strong as the coffee.
More of the coffee hour tent. We also got a daily newsletter about the convention. 2700 coaches with 500 show coaches. The Atlanta newspaper was also available free. This was for 3 days.
One of the BIG trams that carried people back to the far lots. A wonderful ride when you are tired of standing and walking.
Inside one of the vender buildings. Toys for the big guys and gals. Everything from tools to clothes, Vita-mix and other food products. We also got free waffles and pancakes. A new brand Wall Mart was promoting. Free Minute rice also. Lots of freebies, but not as many or as nice as in past years. Everyone is feeling a pinch. I was told today that one dealer had only sold two coaches. They usually sell several.
This picture does not do the red dirt of Georgia justice. This was our road after 3 days of rain. But the soil is sandy and after two days you could drive on it and not sink. You can also see some of the members coaches parked on each side.
We were not to go out to the far lots to take people back to their coaches. Only to the handi-cap designated lots. About 5:30 today this young lady from the FMCA office said I want to go out to lot k. OOPs, I'm not allowed out there. Then I saw her FMCA shirt and name tag and said "Where to." She was going to find Jerry the man who sets up the conventions. We got there, all the way out to the back lots! Nice drive. So many people were happy that volunteers man these golf carts. I hope there is one around the day I may need one!
We will be heading home now. slowly. So my blog may be shorter and not as often. We shall see. Ernie and I have wondered who has read our blog. Please let us know with a comment.

Another view of the many coaches here at this convention. 
Hi! It is Thursday and we have seen the last program, driven the last golf cart , gone to one more seminar, and checked out the vender's merchandise one last time. A good time. The entertainment tonight was Jerry Farber. A comedian. Funny. Made plans with friends to meet them at the Corp Park just north of Atlanta tomorrow. Down time to relax after our busy week of fun. We are tired.
