We spent Sat. and Sun. afternoons with  Sally and her family.  Pepper is a hoot.  She was so interested in how Uncle Sonny and her were related.  She asked all sorts of questions.  And she took to your dad right away.  He was delighted.

We're in Red  Bay, Alabama now at the Tiffin service center. While we are waiting to get into a service bay we took a tour of the Tiffin Factory.  It was loud but interesting. The guys build the inside before they put on the sides.

This a rig finished just before it goes to the paint barn.

Still waiting so we drove into Florence for lunch.  On the way back we went to the Coon Dog Cemetery.  It's out in the sticks.  And you have to prove your dog is a Coon Dog to get buried here.

There are tons of graves of dogs there.  Coon Dogs are very revered here.
 
 
We found out today that we will probably get service on Monday.  Cross Your Fingers!  There is not much to do here in Red Bay.  We could go to Mississippi to see Elvis' birthplace.  Or where Helen Keller was born.  Both of these are  a fifty mile drive round trip.  But the people here are really nice.  You all know how I hate to wait for things.  I've been really pretty good waiting this time.  Tomorrow we are going to an Indian mound site. We'll see what we will do Sunday.  But I'll bet most everything will be closed.
That's all this week.  Love, Mom and Dad

Seems like a slow week. Maybe you should go bungee jumping or sky diving.

That Coon Dog cemetery is interesting. I do like a weird cemetery!
