Chores and Fun.

Our Location today is Sevierville, Tennessee.

After a very busy day yesterday you’d think we’d be sleeping like a couple of rocks. Not! After tossing and turning for nearly two hours I spent the next two up and two more looking at the ceiling. Of course when I am not in the bed Kathy lays awake waiting for my return. We finally got a few hours rest before getting up to start our day. 

Pepperoni pizza and prune pudding

Having a light breakfast because we were later than normal we did a quick check of the computers before I started changing the bed linens. While Kathy started cleaning things in the trailer I sorted the laundry finishing those chores minutes after eleven so we had and early lunch. 

Lots of street rodders staying in the park.

Kathy continued with her cleaning after I left for the laundry room. Of course pulling our shopping cart we use for doing the laundry with four wash loads in it through a thick layer of pea gravel was a chore by itself. When I arrived the place was packed but they told me there was another laundry room further to the south side of the park. Trudging through more pea gravel I managed to get two loads of wash started in the second location.

There had been a dryer running when I first arrived but it had been stopped for a while by the time I needed to start drying our clothes. After starting one load drying and another load in the washer I opened that dryer and pulled out a bunch of old wash towels that were full of holes and stunk. The lint filter looked like a miniature bale of cotton from all the lint in it to the point I had to squeeze my hand as far as I could into the vent to get more of it out. That was nearing the point of being a fire hazard. 

 

Moonshine from beginning to the retail end.

Once I had both washers and both dryers going I made a quick trip back to the trailer for a snack and to refill my water bottle. Letting Kathy know where I was and why it was taking so long. As the dryers finished their first load I would immediately transfer another load to be dried while I folded the clean clothes. With only a short pause I had completely folded everything and had loaded our shopping cart when a young gentleman came in to retrieve his rags. That was over two hours after they had stopped. He drove away in a catering truck. I wonder what he’ll use those  rags to clean?

Twice baked potatoes and Salmon Fillet.

Back at the trailer the temp was in the upper 80’s with a cloudless sky so Kathy needed to turn on the Air Conditioner while I went outside to repack the basement for tomorrows travels before sitting down to write this post. Tonight Kathy and I had tickets to attend The Platters Impersonators and the Motown Sound that we grew up with right across the border. Here is just a few of the five hundred plus shots I took.

This is a show that both Kathy and I highly recommend seeing if you're in the Pigeon Forge Area. They did a fantastic job! Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
