Salisbury - Last Two Days

Up bright and early. We had our daughter and the boys over for breakfast and then ran a few last minute errands.   Then it was back to the campground and time for me to start decorating. We held my Dad's 90th birthday party at the Campground's  meeting room.  It was just the right size for our group.

We had an awesome caterer - on the menu for his party - Shrimp and Grits, Ham/rolls. creamed potatoes, squash casserole, green beans, and of course birthday cake.  It was yummy!

Although he knew we were having a party, he didn't know so many people would be there to celebrate him. He was surprised when he came through the door.

This is my Dad - he was so happy I couldn't keep him still long enough to give my speech.  He was having such a good time.

Next day - up again early to head into my hometown - Faith, 807 residents in the 2010 census.  They have a old time style Forth of July celebration - the fair with rides down at the park and a parade down main street, not many floats but lots of participants.  Everyone seems to take over my Aunt's front yard.  People come from all over to see old friends and family.

We left right after the parade and lunch - a tradition where we have BBQ sandwiches at my Aunt's house.  Before the parade is over, two of the men, now it's our son and either my Aunt's son on son -in-law take orders and then walk down to the park to get the sandwiches.  Bless my Aunt, she had a basement full of people, the  kitchen and the front yard -  all full of folks - everyone enjoying sandwiches and each other.  

We were on our way home by 1:00. We got back to the McIntosh Lake RV Park by 6:30.  Left the next morning by 8:30 and were back home by 1:30.  Unbelievable, traffic was so light - everyone else must have come back on Monday.  Last year we traveled back home on Sunday as well and the traffic was horrendous.

Glad to be home but ready to go again in a heart beat.
