We took off after lunch to visit the Adena Mansion and Gardens high upon the hill overlooking the Scioto River Valley. I had checked the website and thought it was open today (closed on Mondays), but when we got there, the sign said "Closed on Mondays AND Tuesdays." So much for that!
Our drive did take us through some of the older residential sections of Chillicothe. We saw some gorgeous old houses on our way to Krogers. We stocked up on groceries at Krogers, then headed back to Auntie Violet for a spaghetti supper.
We've been in touch with our friends Leslie and Bill, who are in Red Bay, Alabama at the Tiffin factory getting some needed repairs done to their coach, Serenity. They had a pretty long punch list of things to be fixed (they had purchased her used, as is). I think all of their list has been taken care of, but the factory also had a couple of things to be fixed under warranty. One of them had to do with the roof -- they are actually cutting the roof loose and replacing a portion of it with aluminum! Kind of scary to think about. Evidently they do it one day, then paint it the next. I almost feel like we should send Serenity a get-well card.
Our friends Tom and Juni are also in the south. They are in Tennessee visiting Juni's family and will also be heading for Red Bay after Thanksgiving. I'm not sure when we will cross paths with either set of friends, but since we are slowly but surely heading in a southerly direction it will happen one of these days.
