Family Time

Saturday and Sunday were spent with John's sister Bonnie and 2 of her children, Kim and Dave. We were updated on all the news about the nieces & nephews, as well as the grand nieces & nephews. We brought some video tape for Dave, of his grandfather, Rev John Mostoller, doing his "Percy the Clown" program. Dave is very active in his church, with the food bank, and is considering adding some of his grandfathers clown routines into his ministry. Bonnie cooked us all dinner. It was nice sharing news with family members too long neglected. Note to self... keep in touch more. Other Note to self... make sure the camera is set on pictures, not video, when taking family photos or nothing records.
Cardinal sin number 2.. mind your tow vehicle when attaching and unhitching. As I was gathering items from the RV to take with us to Bonnie's, John decided to unhitch the car from the RV. While towing, the car must be in neutral with the parking brake off. When disconnecting it you sometimes have to move the car to change the tension on the tow rods to get them separated. When I came out of the RV, John had removed the rods and cables. I proceeded to place these in the storage bag when I hear..."Oh Crap"... and look up to see John chasing our slowing, backward moving, car across a WalMart parking lot. Thank the Lord there weren't any other vehicles parked near us.
Next stop.... hopefully... Mammoth Cave National Park in South central Kentucky.
