Srutkas Are Gone!

We played a couple of card games last night and made plans to meet for breakfast.  We had fun playing.

We went to have breakfast at Cracker Barrel this morning and then the Srutkas started preparing to get back on the road.....    they are kind of anxious to get home.    We said good-bye but may see them at the December Rally with the Lone Star Allegros....

After they left, I went on to visit with my mother for a couple of hours.   On the way back, had the SUV washed while Manuel had the guy that helps us out here wash the motor home.  It rained all afternoon.   We welcomed the rain!  We will see what tomorrow brings....
