Today is Father's Day. Chris and Shawn and Anara called to wish Ken a happy Father's Day--very nice. Jeff called too. Ken was glad to hear from him, especially to find the results of his latest medical tests. The bottom line is that the docs want to remove his enlarged thymus because it is pressing on his vocal cords. The surgery is scheduled for June 26. Rebecca and Cathy sent cool e-cards. Rebecca's had a Star Wars theme, and Cathy's featured the Avengers.
We left the Nashville Country RV Park this morning and headed south on I-24 to Murfreesboro. We're staying at a small park located back in the woods. That makes it very peaceful and quiet, but also made for some difficult turns on narrow back roads with no berms--just dropoffs. The road into the campground is basically one lane when it comes to a vehicle as wide as we are, so it was fortunate that someone happened to be coming out on a scooter. He returned to the campground to make sure that anyone coming out would wait until we made it in.
Then in the campground they had to call someone to trim some trees. We are just way taller than most units. We finally got backed into our site and set up. If you look closely, you'll see that the Bigfoot leveled the rig with the front almost touching the ground.
Another downside to having such a quiet, secluded site is that the Verizon signal is nothing to write home about! I did manage to make one phone call by standing out in the middle of the parking lot, but when I tried to call Aunt Iris, the call just kept dropping immediately. And the internet connection is frustratingly slow and unreliable.
On the upside, we played some Rummikub. The current score is Lee 5, Ken 4. We'll have to play a tie-breaker tomorrow.
There is a short walking trail around the resort, marked by yellow bricks--so it's "follow the yellow brick road."
