Thursday, August 31st - to Danbury

Today we drove the 30 miles to Danbury, CT, our home for 13 years (1985 - 1999).

Four years ago, in our 35 foot coach, John & Lynn Holbrook welcomed us to stay in the parking area of their farm market outside of Danbury in Bethel, CT. Today, I cavalierly pulled our 40 foot coach into the same parking area. John came out to tell me that because the farm market is so busy, I needed to move over to the area around their home. So John stopped traffic on hwy 53 and MA used the walkie-talkie to give me directions and I backed up into the highway and drove down to the area of the house. Once in that area I had to do a 180 and reverse the direction of the coach. It took at least 10 back-and-forths to do this maneuver.

We are comfortably situated with water and 15 amp electrical hook-ups. Mary Alice is helping out at the market, something she really enjoys.

We ate dinner at JK's Texas Hot Wieners, one of our favorite haunts from our days here.
