FMCA Dogwood Chapter Rally

It's been a while since we've updated the blog but not because we haven't been busy. Just doing things around the house.

We belong to a chapter of FMCA (Family Motor Coach Association) called Dogwood. There are a total of about 60 member families. This weekend we attended a Dogwood rally at Rockahock with about 22 member families attending. Rockahock is east of Richmond on Rt 60 about mid way between Richmond and Williamsburg. Mann's friend Dan Elkins and wife Francis decided to attend with us and by the end of the weekend decided to join our chapter. Friday started with the usual greeting of friends that haven't been seen for a while. Most of us are snow birds and travel to warmer climates during the winter so this is the first time we've been together since early December. Friday evening started with "happy" hour and then dinner at a local restaurant. Saturday morning we had a huge breakfast prepared by the men of the group. Saturday afternoon was taken up with preparation of barbecue for the evening meal, then "happy" hour and dinner followed by music from local talent including one of our own members. Threats of a terrible storm forced an early end of the fun around 10:30 pm. A re-reading of this post reminds me that there's entirely too much eating and drinking at these affairs. Sunday morning, the fun was ended with a continental breakfast and goodbyes till we meet again All good things must end!
