The Scoop on the New Black Chairs

Do you remember the blog post when I asked your opinion about buying black chairs or white chairs for the tent? You can refresh your memory HERE.

As you can read in the comments to that and subsequent posts, black was the overwhelming choice for chair color for a variety of reasons. We ordered 200 black chairs and some of those reasons proved true the very first time we used them.

The black chairs are definitely going to hide scratches and normal wear and tear better than white chairs. Although most believed the white chairs would have looked better under the new tent initially, I must admit the black look pretty good too.

Here is a picture of them under the tent.


Here they are stacked in the trailer for the first time.


There is one problem that we noticed last week that we never experienced with the white chairs. The birds in Citronelle loved to roost on the seat backs of our new black chairs. While roosting they would leave their deposits in the chairs. We were wiping down 10-20 chairs every night and shooing birds away all day.

It was a mess but fortunately for you we did not take any pictures. Any ideas? Any suggestions?

Anyway, it's all pretty funny.

More Travel and Tifton, Georgia


Saturday night we stopped and slept at a Flying J near Tallahassee, Florida. In March 2008 we stayed at the very same truck stop the first night we owned the BoggsMobile. It was a horrible night!

I was about to have a nervous breakdown about buying the bus. Diesel was $4 a gallon for the first time in my life, I could barely drive the monstrosity I had just purchased, I broke the passenger side mirror pulling in and the generator wouldn't start. The girls went to bed and I sat in the driver's seat the rest of the night and stared out the window. I was still sitting there when the sun came up. Like I said, it was a horrible night.

Last night was much better, praise God. We rested good and the generator started and ran fine. We left there around mid morning and arrived in Tifton about 2:00. We have preached several revivals for Pastor Tony Walker but this is our first revival here. The service was great tonight and we are expecting even better.

We didn't get any pictures at church but snapped a few at Steak & Shake. I am sure we will have more later in the week. Thanks for praying for us.

Tent Down and Travel Day

The sun came out, the wind picked up, the tent dried up, the folks from Cedar Creek and Whatley helped us take the tent down and pack it up, we loaded up and left about 5:00, drove nearly 300 miles to Flying J near Tallahassee and I'm going to bed! That's sums up our Saturday. God bless you all for reading.
