Good morning. It’s a bright beautiful sunshiny day here in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. We four are going to Waynesville for lunch and a walk about town. Rain, from hurricane Ida, will affect us tomorrow and Wednesday, and we are only in a slight marginal area for flooding. We will, however, take precautions and be ready to move if necessary. Meanwhile, today is going to be a fun one. It’s our turn to cook dinner tonight and Mark has sausage peppers and onions planned. 

At noon we went downtown shopping in Waynesville! We found a few things we needed … like doggie raincoats. Tomorrow and Wednesday are going to be wet! I said to Mark how affordable the raincoats were … but, alas, I didn’t have my glasses on. 😂 We spent so much the lady threw in a bag of treats. 🐾💕 

Lunch at the Sweet Onion was planned … but, alas, it’s closed on Mondays. 🙄 Boojum was open so we all had craft beer and started with an order of  fried green beans! Yum yum. LaDonna had veg soup and a salad.while we 3 had wings. It was a good lunch.  

Lookin’ like tourists in downtown Waynesville. 

On our way back to the RV we stopped at Ingles grocery to pick up a few things. LaDonna and I were sitting in the truck waiting when she realized Wayno didn’t have his phone, so no way to pay for the grocery. We had a laugh, then she ran into find him. 😜

I just checked the weather and as you can see, we are out of the cone in the Maggie Valley area. Yes, we will continue to monitor it.

When we got back to the RV I checked with the Creekwood office. They will be monitoring the rainfall and river height. If necessary they will move us to a pull through site away from the creek. You don’t have to worry, she said. 🤨 

Meanwhile, Robbie and BeeZee wanted to try on their new raincoats. They fit perfectly and I’m going to send a picture to the lady at the dog bakery in Waynesville.

After our Italian sausage dinner and salad we sat creekside for an hour while the guys enjoyed cigars. Then, they moved both rigs forward several feet for a margin of safety. 

That’s it for tonight. 🥱
