April 8 - Hike and Pick up Arlo

A 4 mile hike on the Empire Mine trail started our morning. 

Drove by Donna’s to see her Little Library that Bill helped put it up last year. It’s looking quite nice. She had some trees taken down so now she has a lot more sun at her house. 

With the rain gone and the sun shining, we sat outside for a couple hours before picking up Arlo at Gigi’s. He’s so talkative on our trip home.

Then shish-k-Bob dinner with Carl and Shannon and Arlo. 

March 4 - Cosy Rosy and the Shed - Mississippi

Decided to drive south to Pascagoula, Mississippi to stay at Cosy Rosy’s and have the Shed BBQ. We had stopped here in January when Drew and Erin visited us at Gulf Shores. Best BBQ then and now, plus some Mississippi Delta culture. 

Walking around the campground we saw this sign. Looked for alligators but didn’t see any. 

Dinner time was a combo of ribs and brisket. Yummy and enough for another meal. 

When we were at Terry and Sandy’s, the weather person talked about storms coming across the south. Luckily we made it here before the winds got too strong. Winds are supposed to diminish late tonight. Hopefully we can be on our way to Creole, Louisiana tomorrow. 

May 19 - BBQ at Drew and Erin’s

Drew and Erin invited us for a BBQ in their backyard. Geraniums were blooming like crazy. New fence makes the backyard look so much nicer. In fact, the neighbors behind them cleaned out their part, which would be in front of their side of the fence and stopped by to see if they could pay for part of it. 

Erin and Fina. 

Lorena and Boye.
