Vacation, Day 8, 10/28/2009, Part 6

Our lovely friend, Kay, who is more like a sister to me and another daughter to Mama. We are blessed.


Stirring the fajitas.


Closer to sunset.


Supper's sizzling and the jalapenos are HOT.


Everyone is so-o-o-o full. Some are standing around the heater, no only because they want the heat, they're too full to sit down! Look at the flame on that heater-wow!


Bundled up together, Tinkerbell and Kay sit in front of the TV.


Here's what we watched every chance we got while we were at the campground.

Tinkerbell's finished playing with the empty water bottle, for now.


Honest, I don't know who was messin' with Kay, or why. I do know that she's takin' it very well 'cause I see a grin! By the way, that trailer directly behind her is the bottom end of someone's U that faces the next road over. The front part of the trailer to the left of the photo is part of what turned out to be an L for us this time. Both sets of friends arrived in time to settle in well before supper and sunset.


See, she's using that sharp knife to prepare beef for fajitas. Ian's checking out the satellite reception for his grandfather Milton. And there, beyond Ian, you see it's open--that's where our U would have been closed if it hadn't turned into an L.


Here's Milton.


Now that he won't have to go back up the ladder to make satellite adjustments, Milton has hung the metal rack on it, the rack that he crafted for the kitchen sink. My Daddy would've loved this whole idea and its execution!


He's working with tubing and connectors for the sink.














The white hoses are for water.


Yowsers! Running water has arrived!


Kay's Halloween bat lights look good even in daylight.


Kay's Halloween ghost lights on the golf cart.


Moon rise.


Scary Halloween skeleton--what a look!


Kay and Ian cut tomatoes for the fajitas. You can tell the temperature's dropping--Kay's got on her sweatshirt.


Milton set up the outdoor heater. I think it's propane, but I'm not sure.


The sky is so pretty in this photo.

Seen on another trailer, boosted.

I got up early to take a walk, so I lucked out and saw this beautiful fog covering most of the 40-acre campground known as C and C Camping & the Champion Center .


Boosted, ground fog shot of Kay and Milton's truck and trailer.


Boosted, ground fog, early morning at the campground. Lost in the fog, behind the fence, past the trees stands Talladega Superspeedway, waiting for all of us as well as all of NASCAR.


The section of the building on the left holds the restrooms and showers. The part on the right is known as the Champion Center, a huge meeting space.


There are 500 camping sites at this campground. Some folks bring their trailers over the weekend before the race, park and unload, then head home until closer to race day.


Some people do just what Milton and Kay always do--arrive early and get set up.


The sun's on the way!


Looks like no one's up yet, except for the Halloween decoration--Halloween is the night before the Sprint Cup race. See the windshield? No one can see in because there is a shield standing in it.
