Howdy folks! I was thinking about my Story for this evening and thought I would just tell you about the Saturday that the Early Early Birds rolled in. Each year, it seems like more and more Blue Ridgers are coming in early on Sunday before our official kick-off on Wednesday. This year we were totally surprised to find out that eight trailers were rolling in on Saturday!!

Momma Sharon parked me in the shade and went straight to the office to get us checked in with Jeff. He has been really easy for us to work with these last 10 months. Not only did he let us keep Randy's site #5 open all week, but he bought us two fire pits to use and an unlimited supply of firewood!
Mom got me parked in site #10 and she and Aunt Becky got me turned sideways, situated, and decorated in no time flat.

| The chicks & camping flag were out early |
 |
| The Blue Ridge banner means one thing . . . it's rally time! |
 |
| Aunt Becky's famous Gravel Pound Cakes are safe & sound |

One by one our Blue Ridge friends rolled in. Mom and her Peeps could hardly contain their excitement. Geo and Liz, Bob and Susan arrived, keeping their perfect streak of coming to every single BRR alive. Miss Katie arrived with a huge bag of Peeps for us to share with everyone. Before we knew it, you could hear that familiar sound of Blue Ridge laughter and happiness!

| Miss Katie delivered Peeps all the way from PA |
 |
| Dozens & dozens & dozens of boxes of Peeps |
 |
| Our good buddy, Miss Sue, dropped by for a visit |
Blue Ridgers rarely cook on a Travel Day, so the whole gang loaded up and drove less than a mile to Happy Cinco de Mayo Restaurant for supper. The food was plentiful, the prices low, and Mom and her buddies ended up going there three times!
 |
| Ole . . . it's time for supper |
 |
| Miss Ellen lives full time in her T@B & is on the go all the time |
 |
| Look at the size of that supper! Can you say "leftovers for days"! |
Back in the campground, Mom delivered Miss Katie's awnings for her new Blue Bird. The rest of our evening was spent adding decorating touches, getting caught up with friends, chatting in the middle of the road (the folks are famous for that), and looking forward to a couple dozen more Peeps rolling in on Sunday.

Saturday with the Early Early Birds was a fine day indeed and a glimpse into fun in the week ahead. That's it for Storytime tonight. If you drop by tomorrow, I'll have another one to tell you. Until then, always remember . . .
"Peace, Love, & Early Early Birds"
