The dear deer!

Took Jennie over to the RV doc yesterday and left her there. Getting the solar panels put on and a couple of minor things fixed: a new window latch, check roof, check all appliances etc. Mostly routine maintenance stuff. Didn’t see Alfie while we were there as the lot was being re-blacktopped and we couldn’t get to him. Hope he didn’t know we were there. Jennie will stay there until some time next week. Alfie will spend the winter there (no mice in the area.)
Bill put the US and Mexico maps on the back of Jennie. Shows where we’ve been (not just in her but since we’ve been motor homing.) He also put up our web site address.
No one seems to make the map for Canada any more - still searching the web trying to find it. Maybe will have to get it made for us. We have one we had made of South America but will put it on the Alfa.
Guess I’ll have to make sure I keep the web site up to date as we travel in Mexico. (Guess that means I should finish last years trip.)
Still haven’t got the satellite and Internet problems fixed. Seems like the installer is in Miami for the next two months and only home on weekends. NEVER pay for anything up front. He says he’ll be here Oct 24th to fix everything. Sure hope so as we’ll be leaving not long after that.
Just as info – the fire department has said the burning of the Little Nashville Opry was arson. And they are looking for the person who did it. Hope they find him/her.
Been trying to catch up on a few things I’d left half done. Mainly my 2nd window. Have all the flowers done and am now working on the background. Probably will get the bottom half done today. Set the sewing machine up but just did some minor mending. Don’t think I should get working on a quilt that I won’t be able to spend much time with. There’s a lot of work to do outside before we leave but it’s been pretty cool out. And raining – but just one night – with lots of thunder that shook the house. Cleared up enough that I got to go outside and try to salvage some of the plants the deer have been feasting on. They ate every leaf and bud of all the roses so I just cut them back for winter. They even ate the geraniums – first time they did that.
So how did we solve that problem – we bought corn for them to eat. And they really took advantage of it. They are so pretty to watch.


Have gone into town a couple of times since being home. Some of the trees are just now starting to color. Have had a couple of pretty cool nights. By next week they should really start turning. Lots of decorations for Halloween up already - saw this at one of the little farms that sells pumpkins –
interesting use for hay bales.
Also took a ride over to show the covered bridge to a friend. It’s always a nice ride and a neat view.
That’s about it for so far. While we're home I removed the data storm location information. Will start it back up when we hit the road again.
