Wednesday/Thursday -- Phaetons and Didelots!!

We arrived at the Staway RV Ranch on Wednesday at about 1:00pm. Several other rigs were already here for a rally that does not start until Friday! Sue and Mark Didelot got here around 5:00pm and all of us went to a potluck dinner organized by the campgound, which furnished ham and pork.

We spent a lot of time visiting and getting to know the Tiffin owners that are arriving. Most of the rigs are Phaetons and, so far, only one Bus.

On Thursday, the Didelots and Patsy and I drove to Canton, TX, where they have the 1st Monday Trade Days....... but not this weekend! We found a few stores open. Patsy and I have been looking for a quilt to use as a bedspread in the new motorhome. We had looked in Pigeon Forge, and I found one, but Patsy said we needed to wait until we have the motorhome to make sure the colors match. Today, we went to a quilt shop in Canton, and we found one that we thought was a good match. I took a lot of pictures, but while I was doing that, she decided we would just buy it!!! She seemed sure and we liked it so we bought it. To look at it, we put it on a bed in the shop...... the pillows in the following pictures do not go with it!!


There have been a lot of just sitting around the campgound and talking about RV's and Tiffin.


This couple has owned their Tiffin Phaeton motorhome exactly one week!

On Thursday night, most of us drove into Athens, and ate at an all-you-can eat steakhouse that had bar-b-que (brisket, chicken, sausage, and ribs) and fish & shrimp with all the side dishes. Here are some pictures:


This rally seems to be shaping up to be very nice. All of the people that have shown up are very friendly and easy going.
