Hi everybody!!  Well, another exciting morning in Red Bay!!   Went to bed early last night, so I was up fairly early.   Got up quietly so as not to disturb "his majesty" :)).    No WIFI where we are, so I had to make do with my cup of coffee for a while.   About 8:30 or so we had breakfast.   Then Dennis made a call to Bob Tiffin, President of Tiffin Motorhomes, to see if he was available this morning.   He said to come on over to his office about 10:30.   We just wanted to chat, make our faces known and share our concerns.   Not that Red Bay is that bad, unless you live here it's just not a place you really want to stay for long.   So we were hoping that our visit to Bob might make a little difference.   We'll see :)).  

After that we headed over to Belmont, Mississippi (only about 5 miles) to see Tiffin's Tile Shop.   This is where they lay the tile out for the floors of each motorhome.   It's right behind the paint shop we went to in March, but we didn't get a chance to see it then.   What a neat operation.   Check out the pictures.   With each floor the tile is laid by hand.

The tile is then cut by a machine that has been programmed to the floor plan that corresponds to the model that is being produced. Water and a little bit of sand cuts the tile.

Then it was on to Spark's Restaurant in Belmont for a bite of lunch.

  You know us, we never miss a meal :).   After lunch, we stopped by the Silver Dollar Wholesale store to check out what they had.   Nothing we couldn't live without.  

Took it easy the rest of the afternoon.   Took a walk, and believe it or not, I suggested that Dennis read this book I just finished reading.   He took me up on it and is already halfway through it.   He must really be bored or the book must be pretty good, because he never reads!!!!

Had a great dinner - steaks on the grill and a salad.   The weather was beautiful today.   Low 90's but no humidity and a nice breeze.  

Well, the highlight of my day was this morning!!    As you know it's Friday, and Tiffin Service is closed for the weekend, soooooo - I found out who's playing at the Grand Ole Opry tomorrow night in Nashville!!!   Somebody I've wanted to see all my life!!!!   Yes, it's Loretta Lynn!!!   The Coal Minors Daughter herself!!  So Dennis said go ahead and call to get tickets!!   Soooooo - tomorrow we're heading to Nashville!!    I can't wait - I'm so excited!!   Vince Gill is going to be there too - who we really like also!    It's about a 3 hour trip, but that's not too bad.   We'll leave Buttercup here and probably stay in a hotel tomorrow night.

We're up here at the laundry room writing the Blog, but actually sitting in the car because they had already locked the door. 

Until later........... Night, night
