Spring Rally 2012--Day 9

Gearing up for the rally and meeting up with old friends.

Been a busy few days as the club member's continue to arrive to get ready for the rally.  As of today most of the coaches have come in.  Many of our long time friends are here and it is good to see them again, although it is a bit hard to deal with all the condolences about the loss of Joanne.  Most of these same people were with us at the Fall Rally last October and were as shocked as I was with her sudden death.

I've been helping with the parking the last couple of days so due to that I've been furnished my own golf cart for use during the rally.  The RV campground is a good distance from where the rally activities will be held so this will help in carrying all my stuff, as club treasurer, back and forth.  This afternoon we had several coaches arriving at once so it took all three of us with carts to escort them to their sites.

We've been eating well here in Columbus.  Went to dinner on Friday evening with Forrest and July Wagner, friends from Missouri.  We went back over to Seymore to The Pine's Restaurant for their buffet.  Tonight I joined up with Bob & Sally Allen and Bert & Kathy Garcia to go to a Chinese food buffet.  One thing this club does well is eat.  In addition each night we had a fire circle for everyone to visit and catch up on what has been happening since last October.

Yes, I did imagine that your first trip round to all the usual people you met with Joanne would be hard. I might have been tempted to forego it all, but it's obviously something you really want to keep doing.
