In Marion, NC

We have been busy since last post. We had a beautiful drive to Winston-Salem, overnighting near Knoxville where we topped off our fuel and propane. The trip over the Smoky Mountains was breathtaking with all the spring scenery at its best. We spent 2 weeks at the Fleetwood Travelcade Club Rendezvous there. I was in charge of Radio Talk-in and assisted with parking to keep me occupied till starting time. As usual a great time was had with the activities there. Unfortunately, Loretta still isn't back to her old self and didn't feel up to participating in some activities. However, we did take the bus tour to Mayberry (Mt. Airy). re we viewed much of the area where Andy Williams was born and raised. In fact, I got a haircut at Floyd's Barber Shop. Although much of the TV Program scenery was copied from this area, all filming was done in Hollywood.

On the first Friday I took Loretta to Wake Forest Baptist Hospital for her lab tests. A very large hospital, but the personnel were the greatest. These were supposed to be faxed to her doctor immediately. However almost a week later, the doctor was still waiting for results. So I contacted the hospital and got that straightened out. Monday we got the good news that Her protein levels are now near normal range and her medication is being reduced. This results in her starting to both sleep and feel better. She is beginning to participate more in activities.

Last Sunday after church service, we moved to Tom Johnson RV's rally park here in Marion. The regional Roundup of the Travelcade Club is being held here. Again, there have been Fun, Food and Fellowship activities. Many of the attendees were also at the Rendezvous, but much better to visit in a smaller group. I went on one of the tours also, but Loretta was not up to that either. Yesterday I took her to the local hospital for lab tests. This facility is located on the side of a mountain with another of the great area views from the parking lot. Again great folks there, and they take samples in the lab so there shouldn't be any mix up this time. Hopefully, results from these tests will show continued improvement.

The roundup is now winding down, and tomorrow after church service we will be heading back to Tennessee, and plan on making a few stops before return to Circle P Farm.

GOD Bless
Andy and Loretta
