Lunch On The Road

We left Defeated Creek Campground this morning with friends in mind. We loved spending time with new and old friends the last two weeks at this beautiful spot. We just can't wait to get back here. And, as we drove through the beautiful Tennessee countryside and soaked in the vibrant autumn colors, we had our friends Bruce and Margie in our hearts. We were heartened thinking that maybe, just maybe, they were riding along with us for awhile today in a motorhome that looks an awful lot like theirs. They would have loved the ride.

I was driving as we passed through Paducah. And, frankly, after a not-so-good night's sleep I was ready for lunch, a rest stop and a change of drivers. All that was planned for about seven miles down the road when the interstate traffic came to a stop. We idled for awhile and quickly realized we weren't going anywhere. We shut the engine off and sat. Then, Paul had an idea. He decided to fix lunch.

Herein lies one of the primary advantages of a motorhome!

As we sat immobile on the interstate, Paul whipped up a tasty lunch of sandwiches, chips and Oreo cookies, All that was served up with a icy cold cola beverage.

You just can't do that with a trailer!

We sat on the interstate and enjoyed our tasty lunch. We watched other motorists around us get edgy. Many crossed over the grassy median and headed in the other direction. With no particular place to go and all day to get there, we chilled out and enjoyed our lunch.

Gotta love it.

Yes, once upon a time such a traffic tie-up would have sent either one or both of us into a tailspin. But, today it simply provided us a chance to breathe and enjoy lunch on the road, literally.

Like I said. Gotta love it.
