Home again home again jiggity jig, on the road again road again jiggity jog!

 We have arrived home to our RV in St. Augustine, FL. We like staying at Stagecoach RV as the Petty's  have a wonderful park and they take very good care of the property and ours too! We actually went to the Mile Marker Brewery before going home to have a celebratory brew. The Blonde Ale is one of the best beers ever. Our friends Lindsey and Linda, were there to welcome us back. We shared our stories of the ride and enjoyed their company. We were also invited to bring in a growler of our own home brew for them to try. They have a group of home brewers in the area that will meet up there and discuss their brews. It's a fun tap room and if we ever decide to open our own brewery their's will be a great one to model.
 We made a dash to Publix for some food supplies and then it rained and rained and rained for 3 solid days. So much that we just made do with the food cupboard to create some interesting meals.
 Now it's 4th of July! We join our Stapleton family for a cookout in North Jacksonville. The brothers enjoyed sharing stories of their youth.
 Left St.  Augustine headed for Adel,  GA to visit Al and Tammy. We stayed at Cecil Bay RV park being a one night quick stop. Our son Mark was in the hospital in Flower Mound and not sure what he had or how quickly we needed to be back in town. Just outside of Albany, GA we always try to stop at Mark's produce stand. Great boiled peanuts, fresh picked corn, lima beans, mayhaw jelly and vine ripe slicing summer tomatoes! Yummy! We were headed to Lake Eufula, AL but missed a turn and ended outside of Columbus, GA and stayed at Lake Pines RV. It was kind of tight pulling into the park but it turned out to be OK, again not bad for an overnight. Mark was doing better so we stopped at our favorite COE park in Demopolis, AL. It's on a lake, as most COE parks are, and had 1 of the 2 pull throughs available. The back in sites are actually the better spots and are very long. Enjoyed dinner that night watching the fireflies and a nice brisk walk around the park in the morning. Next up was Vicksburg, MS have always wanted to stay over more than a night to explore but looks like that will have to be another time. We stayed at Ameristar Casino RV park right on the banks of the Mississippi. Walk the park first before your site is selected. Not all of the sites are level. We made do but almost considered moving. We did enjoy an evening stroll after dinner along the banks of the river. Our next night was a stay right off of I 20 at Miss Ellie's RV. Great Wi-Fi so we enjoyed catching up on our PBS shows. Now back in town at Destiny RV for 2 weeks and an extra couple of days at Willow Grove on the lake.
 We have been brewing beer, catching up with Dentist and Doctor visits, working with Kristin on wedding plans for next spring, spending time with all of our family and friends, outfitting ourselves with fly rods, and mastering the art of tying flies. We are heading to Chama, NM for the rest of the summer on Wednesday.
