Finally seeing Roland and Louise

Norcross, GA

38 deg.!!! What's going on here? It's not supposed to be this cold in Georgia, in April!!!

We left the Twin Oaks RV PK a little after 10:00 and continued N. on I-75. We took the I-475 cut-off to by-pass Macon and then, when we got up close to Atlanta, we took I-675 and I-285 to get up to I-85 where we turned NE and followed it a few miles up here to Norcross and the Jones RV Park. It was about 12:30 when we pulled up to the office, and we had traveled 131 miles.

There road was good with fairly heavy traffic, and there were only a few short sections of construction zone, but the big thing was the wind. 25 to 35 MPH winds with higher gusts, hitting me right from the side. Now, I'm a big heavy coach, but those winds did move me around quite a bit.

The office here at Jones RV Park is closed on Sundays, so Jim picked up a registration form and a map of the CG and we headed out to find the "perfect" site. Well, I don't consider any of the sites here "perfect", but Jim did find me a nice wide site, with a tree to my right, so that no other RV can park too close to me. It'll be fine for a week., although I would like a little grass instead of this gravel.

After Jim and Linda got me settled in, Jim called Roland and he gave Jim directions to Emory Hospital. After a little while, they took CLT and Mable, and headed to Atlanta. Well, everything went fine, and CLT told me that Mable was very helpful directing him to the hospital. In fact it only took about 1/2 hour to get there.

Once at the Hospital, Jim and Linda had to walk a long ways to get to the elevators that took them up to the 7th floor. Linda said that she was glad that it wasn't any farther. Anyway, they got to the 7th floor, and while they were trying to find out which wing to go to, Roland came walking up. After hugs and handshakes, Roland took them in to see Louise.

From what I can gather, Louise is doing pretty well. She has quite a bit of pain, but seems to be in good spirits, and was really happy to see Jim and Linda.

When Jim and Linda get together with Roland and Louise, it has become kind of a "tradition" to have pizza for dinner. Well, Louise felt like she could eat some, so Jim and Roland went to a local pizza place and picked one up and brought it back to the room. Louise ate quit a bit, and Roland said that it was the most she had eaten since she had been in the hospital.

Some things just taste better when you have good friends with you. :-)

After a while, Louise started getting tired, and she still was going to have some therapy, so Jim and Linda came back here and spent the rest of the evening with me and watched TV.

Jim and Linda said that it was sure good to see Roland and Louise again. It's just too bad that it has to be under these circumstances.

Did you know that no word in the English language rhymes with month?

Get well, Louise.
