March 1-5 Canton Tx

We left for Canton Tuesday morning around 9:30. We were in no hurry as the gate we usually go in doesn't open till noon. We stopped at Stripes and got some breakfast tacos and then moved on down the road. It was a nice drive till about 40 miles from Canton. My brake light and ABS light came on along with a terrible noise from my left front wheel. I figured my hub bearing was coming apart. We just slowed down and limped into Canton. We made it and got set up. Rick and Sylvia  got there about an hour later.  I googled places in Canton for brake service and found one about 2 miles from us. I drove it and left it with them and Rick picked me up.  The spot we camp at is reduced due to a power pole that's down and they haven't repaired. Its a good thing we don't have a lot of trailers coming this year as we couldn't all be together. We have just 5 trailers this year. We decided to go to Applebees for supper and it was actually pretty good. The weather was very warm and humid and windy. When I got up Wednesday morning it was still that way but about an hour later the wind shifted to the north and the temp dropped and got nice except for the wind.  Jimmy Lovett arrived and a little later John and Judy Lovett got here. That evening the wind layed and it was nice sitting out by the firepit. Thursday morning everyone went shopping but me. I stayed around camp till John and Jennifer got here. Vicky Lovett also came in a little later. Rick came back and took me to pick up my truck. Of course they found all kinds of things so it was an expensive repair. We had another nice evening sitting by the fire.  Friday was a really gorgeous day. Both Susan and Slyvia were having back issues. They were able to struggle thru and do some shopping. Susan ,Jennifer and Holly went out together for a few hours. Me and Lil John took Bubba and made a small round. Bubba fell asleep in his stroller and took a long nap. We got back early and Lil John started the ribs smoking for supper. We had another great evening around the camp fire and the ribs were great. Saturday morning I got up and heard Rick moving around outside. They got a call that their grandson Cody had been in a car wreck. The truck was demolished and ended upside down, Somehow Cody didn't get a scratch on him. Rick and Sylvia headed on home to check on him themselves. It was a overcast day and windy day Saturday. I went with Susan shopping on a morning round. About 2 and a half hours is all I can do. Susan came back in about 2:30. It started drizzling rain about 3:30 and never stopped. That shut down our outside activities  for the evening. Lil John bagged up leftovers for everyone and delivered to our campers. Jimmy and Vicky came and visited with us for a little while. We then just watched and I went to bed early.  When we got up Sunday morning it was still drizzling. Everyone packed up and headed out. We decided to head to Ratcliff Lake Recreation Area and check it out. If we like it we will probably stay there till about Thursday.  Its in the way home near Crockett.
We made it first

Shopping will just wear you out
