Back to South Carolina

Mom was the one who picked out our traveling house. She specifically chose one that had an automatic leveling system so Dad wouldn't grumble frustrations over trying to manually level it. Sure, it cost more money, but it was definitely worth it so Dad didn't end his days being aggravated. Well, you know what they say about best laid plans. Yup, you guessed it, the automatic leveling system doesn't work right and Dad has had to manually level it. This results in Dad grumbling loudly and Mom rolling her eyes while she and I are waiting to be able to go inside.

We've heard that RV dealerships aren't that great on service and sometimes take a long time before they can work on your RV. This presents a problem since that's where we live. We chose the dealership in South Carolina which is nearest to Dad's daughter's house so we have a place to stay while the RV is in the shop. So we're back at the fam's house in SC. I'm having lots of fun playing with may namesake, Cruz. And their dog Bower isn't running from me anymore so we're having fun playing chase. The big news is that I've learned to use the dog door so I can chase inside and out. Now Bower can't run inside to get away from me.

On our way to SC we stopped at a KFC for lunch. Mom said she's never seen one with a buffet. My folks had lots of good food and even brought out some leftovers to Sammy and me. I have to say that I thought it was really yummy.

Baptist ministers, very classy

At the KFC there were 3 Baptist ministers that were attending a conference in the area. One of them was very friendly and came over to Mom and Dad's table and shook their hands and said hello. Mom absolutely loved their suits. One was a 3 piece, dark blue pin stripe, double breasted. 2 of the men had classy fedoras, one being purple! She said us northern NH people don't have nearly as much class to dress up like that. Up there people are just concerned with being warm and throw on heavy coats and ski hats.

Probably not much will be happening until after the RV is fixed and we're on the road again. Will keep you posted if anything interesting occurs.
