[groove16]

I have to take a break from this report. I will get back very soon, I promise. I have to go make a big fat PoBoy (stolen from Tizzy).
At this time, Georgia Bulldogs are losing to Kentucky in the 2nd half. If that doesnt get a response from ole Jim, guess he aint keeping up....lol.(at least I got the Atlanta Falcons)

Whaaaaa? Come back..... loving this report.

ok, I am back...the dawgs prevail, all is good in the dawg nation, ha.

after coffee, I talk Janet into a quick dip in the pool before time to get ready. Kingsley will be here at 930. We swim for about 20 minutes, and I want to jump and swim in the beautiful blue sea. Janet says it is time for her to get ready, figures it is about 830....as I am swimming, I see her back in her favorite seat, with another cup of coffee, she loves her coffee. I get out as she is trying to tell me something. I got a few more minutes, she says. It is only 740. What???No way, yeah, she say, I double checked...so I have to go investigate. it is only 745...how can that be? after further review, I set the clock for 6am by mistake, so we were up extra early....lol...anyways, we shower, and of course, I shower last and I am ready way before my lovely wife...hehehe...I walk over to the store across the street to get a few things, extra batteries for the camera, snack, juice, dont know what...When I get back to the gate, Ian (the security guard at the gate) was talking with this lady..when he let me in, he told me that my friend was over there...I did not know the lady...You have me confused with someone else. no, he says, Kingsley called ans said she was meeting you here and to let her in. I never saw her before, and said as much. i walk toward my room, and say hello to the lady. as she is introducing herself, I hear the horn and Kingsley is here, with two4today larry, gigi and rina. come to find out, the lady was Doreen. She was Alfred Barretts widow. Alfred had been our driver for our first two trips and was very special to us. (Rest in Peace, my friend). I didnt know anything about this, but Kingsley knew Alfred was our driver. He was also Two4today's driver. Two4 and Gigi had been to alfreds house before and spent time with Doreen. He had requested to see her, so Kingsley set this up. How special a person my friend Jim is. He gave her a card, we all exchanged good wishes and it was time to go. Last chance for restrooms, so all got to see our room at catcha and use the facilities. I sneek away for a minute while we wait. As I come back, they are all almost in tears laughing so hard. That sets the pace for the day. Turns out, Larry and Janet locked Rina in our room and she couldn't figure out how to get out???wasn't that funny to me either. one of those,"you had to be there moments."

The Excursion continues, the crew's friendship is growing by the second, everyone getting to know each other better, cracking jokes, telling tales,just a whole lot of chattering...We go thru the roundabout, people oout and going about their daily routine, and I am on the bus headed to the falls. We head towards Sav la mar, and I tell Kingsley we need beer and Ice. I have a collapsable cooler. He says great, he needs gas. We stop bout half way to Sav, maybe a likkle closer ot Sav, the crew scatter out of the van, and here we are. Time to get the party started, and the pow wow begins. and is never ended, or so it seems...

Let me present to you

Next stop on this adventure was a school. Jim and Gigi had quite a few supplies for the kids. We also had a few things and lots of candy to give away.
The school was in Whithorn or was called Whithorn, not exactly sure, memory likkle fuzzy after this trip, and no notes, going by the pics...The kids love the attention. They love to have their pic taken, ...all want to pose and see themselves in the pics.

here are several pics of the kids, they are so adorable.

on towards YS Falls

the van is really smoking now, what a trip so far and we haven't even been anywhere.

not a whole lot of talking between the school and YS estates, everyone is is a mello mood, taking in the countryside in all its beauty.
everything is so green...the other thing that I read about but got to experience this trip was hte pot holes in the road...kingsley must have known every one of them, as he was zigging and zagging, back and forth...

I don't know where we are, but someone neeeds a bathroom break. Jim also needs battteries foe his camera. I took care of that this morning,..

maybe someone can tell us where we are by the photos
