Done for now

We're up at 5 a.m. so we can drive the coach into the bay by 6:55, Ron's just waiting for the bay doors to open here. We woke to 28 degrees (-2 C). Cold. Thank heavens for furnace, heat pump and space heater and not having to pay the bill.
Everything is done for now and we were back in our site by noon. I put things away and cleaned, then tried our new washer/dryer. Works like a charm. I had to go into town to get soap at a store called Piggly Wiggly.
We are now waiting for new blinds in the living area and to get into the paint shop. We are totally impressed with the way we have been treated here. Everyone is impeccably polite. I am called 'mam' 40 times a day. The only problem we've had is trying to understand their speech. We've never said 'pardon me?, sorry?, what did you say?' so many times a day. People in Alabama are the most laid back, relaxed souls in our experience and their drawl is something to behold.
Red Bay is located in the Northwest corner, bordering the Mississippi state line. The post office was established 1887 so they named it after the red soil and bay tree, which looks like laurel leaves. It's located in Franklin County named after American patriot, Benjamin Franklin. It's a quiet little town with many small brick homes, most with columns in front and rockers and swings on the porches. They are fortunately to have several industries; manufactured homes, a pet food plant, Gates Rubber Company, Wrangler Male Wear and Tiffen Motor Homes. The area is a bird sanctuary with many bird houses around town. We've seen lots of red cardinals and western bluebirds, a bluebird with a red breast.
