Leaving Dothan

While we were in Dothan, we had our regular checkups with our doctor and dentist. We both had our eyes checked at our optometrist and I got new glasses. I found out that I have cataracts and that one of Mike's cataracts may be growing back and that we both needed to be re-examined in about 4 months. We've already made appointments at the opthamologist here in Dothan for April.

On the way up to Canada this year a rock hit the windshield on the Vue and caused a large crack. We normally drive with a cover over the windshield, but the wind was blowing so hard that day that we had to take the cover off. We decided to wait & get the windshield replaced when we got back to Dothan. So last month we had Auto Glass Medic come out and install a new windshield. 

We had a great time visiting with our friends Glenda & W.T. at The Willows. W.T. & Glenda invited us to their house for Thanksgiving dinner. Glenda's son, Mike, joined us for dinner. We all had a good time and ate too much.

We did get together for dinner with our friends from Ozark, Mike and Gayle. I guess I wrote down the wrong date on my calendar and we got a call from them one night wanting to know where we were. We were supposed to meet at Golden Corral for dinner. Mike & Gayle came over after dinner for a visit. We did get together for dinner a few weeks later.

On December 23 we said goodbye to Glenda and W.T. and headed south to Kissimmee, FL.

From December 2011

We took our usual route down US 231 to I-10 east and then south on I-75 to the Florida Turnpike. We left Dothan a little after 9 a.m. and arrived at Sue's brother's house a little after 7 p.m. after driving 379 miles.

Since we had filled the gas tank in the RV before we stayed at The Willows, we didn't have to get gas until we got to Wildwood before we got on the turnpike. We stopped at a Pilot station and got 45.75 gallons at $3.169 a gallon. The toll on the turnpike for the RV and car came to $10.50.
