Thursday - April 10

I woke up about 5 a.m. to hear the lovely sound of rain on the roof, not that we like rain but we do love the sound of it on the roof, it is so soothing. By the time we got up the rain had stopped but the forecast was for heavy rain during the day so we decided to have a quiet day at home. Wouldn’t you know it, it turned into a gorgeous day, oh well, a day at home is always nice.

We didn’t do a lot, we got the insurance sorted out for our new park model trailer, made the decision on how and when we are heading north and made reservations at Betty’s park in Abbeville, Louisiana, so I did accomplish a few things. This afternoon I did laundry so that is another dirty job out of the way for a while, the laundromat here is nice and $1 a load to wash or dry so the price was right.

This is a real nice little park so we have decided to stay here until next Wednesday, then go to Galveston for a few days, then Abbeville, Louisiana then start heading north. We are planning on doing the Natchez Trace from Jackson Mississippi to Nashville so it should be a nice drive.

Tonight we are going to start watching Lonesome Dove, it seems to be an appropriate movie to watch in this part of the country. And so ends another great gift of a day and we look forward to the mystery of tomorrow.
