Day 46 Nov 17 - Time to head home to Texas, it takes a village

Well, it's time to head back to Texas or so it seems. So, its on the road again. Looks like about four days to get back home, at our rate anyway.

First night stop is in Pensacola at the Pensacola Rv Park. Not to be confused with the Pensacola Beach RV Park. It was to have been just a stop in the night. But...

We pull in to our spot and discover a family next door. The 2-1/2 year girl old was playing outside, which of course excited Rosalie to no end. So, we let them play while we were getting setup. It turns out the mother had been sick for about 24 hours. They had planned to leave that morning but due to the mother's illness elected to stay.

So, we invite little Piper over to play so dad could tend to mom. About 6:30 or so, dad comes over and announces he had called the ambulance. Mom is not looking so good it seems. Non responsive, disoriented. So, dad asks if we can watch Piper while he goes off to tend the mother at the hospital. So, two hours after arriving we are baby sitting for a few hours.

We have dinner, hear back from dad, it's going to be a couple of hours,  so we settle in for a movie. Then we start to recall what it's like to have siblings. "She's touching me", "she touched me first". The newness had warm off on both of the little darlings.

About 10 or so dad returns and fetches the child. Life returns to normal in We Be Gone land....

We find out the next day that mom should be ok, probably a bad case of dehydration and fatigue. ( They had done 2 days at Disney World).

Apparently we have trustworthy faces, don't think I would have done the same.  (I bet dad caught hell once mom recovered... "You left our daughter with complete strangers??? You *&*%^$)

Glad we could help, hope it's not contagious......
