Urbanna Oyster Festival

Once again we wrap up a great four day weekend having eaten entirely too much. So, how did this happen? One of our FMCA Dogwood chapter members, Ed and Anke Fisher lives in Urbanna, VA. They have a property just a couple of miles from down town Urbanna which has a large commercial style building and enough parking for about a dozen motorhomes. The Urbanna Oyster festival provided the only excuse necessary for a gathering. Nine coaches and their owners arrived Wednesday and Thursday and the feasting began. Seafood dinner out on Thursday night, steamed oysters, oyster stew and oysters on the half shell (two bushels worth) Friday and Saturday nights along with beef tenderloin and too many other specialties to mention. The men are always in charge of breakfast. Cheese eggs, bacon,
sausage, toast, baking powder biscuit's, pan cakes etc. etc. were the order of the day for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. When we weren't eating, there was game playing, shopping for the women and fire house bluegrass music at night. We even made time for a few hours of geocaching with expert geocaching friends Wilt and Barb Greenwood.

This is all so exhausting that we have to come home to get some rest! Speaking of which, the leaves are falling now so there's no rest for the weary.

Baseball

Today started with a baseball game in Ashland VA. Translated, this means we got up early to get to the game on time. Scott (our son-in-law) coaches the boys team and apparently has earned a good level of success. They won today 17 - 0. Most of the recent games have had similar results. There's probably some prejudice here but check the form of this batter. Note the eye on the ball and follow through on the swing.

This is Grandson Dustin.

No show of step brother Bryan who's also on the team but here's his picture too. He too is an accomplished batter.


The weather is beautiful for this time of the year. So nice in fact that the afternoon was spent washing the Motor Home and cars. Boy, this sounds like fun doesn't it. It was a great workout for the new power washer
