We were about 15 miles north of Dothan when we stop for gas, drinks, peanuts, and beef jerky.
We stop at Fred’s in South Georgia to get Ron a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, Doctor peppers, popcorn, nuts, raisins, and mountain dews.

We arrive at Andy’s house at 5:00PM eastern time. Andy's wife had made chili for supper.

Ron and I went to Winn Dixie in Bainbridge for some groceries.
We almost had a wreck when a car pulled out in front of us.  

We ate supper about 6:30PM 
Andy's family was at church.
