EASTER TRIP 2010

We left around noon on Friday for Arkansas. T arrived from Kansas City, about an hour later at K and J's after we did. We all then went to eat catfish at a little local restaurant nearby. Somehow this time, it didn't seem to agree with all of us. So, we probably will not want catfish for a long time.

We then all got up on Saturday morning and left for Sardis, Mississippi to visit my mother. She is in a nursing home and turned ninety-three on Wednesday. I forgot to take a picture of her. I cannot believe it. My niece and her family were there when we arrived and we had brought her a little cake. We talked her into going to the dinning room, so we could all eat the cake. So, after we spent most of the afternoon with her, we then drove back to Tunica, Ms. and spent the night in a hotel at one of the Casinos.

It was the Gold Strike, the same one we stayed at last year. It has an indoor swimming pool.

A got to get into her Easter basket before we left for Mississippi. Notice the marsh mellows. She loves them. But, Tucker ate a box of her peeps. I told A that Tucker probably needed them more than she did anyhow.

A at the hotel in her swimsuit ready to go swimming. She took the shower wash off the tub and carried it around everywhere she went.
This is what A looked like in every picture. She just does not like a pool. Notice she still has the shower wash in her hand. On Sunday morning, K called us and asked if our power was off in our room. We said no, because our air conditioner was running. She said the power was off in their room and she had called the desk and they said it was off in the whole hotel. Well, we found out later that some rooms were running on a generator. Ours and T's room had power but K and J's did not. None of us had hot water so, we did not get to take a shower before we checked out. The only thing I could think about was that the elevators were not working and I would have to walk down twenty flights of stairs.
We then came back to K and J's house and went out to eat at Johnny Corrina's on Sunday night.
A and Pap-pa eating popcorn. Yes, she may be too little to eat popcorn but try telling A that. She also has a runny nose. She has had a cold ever since she started going to the daycare.
This morning we got up and came home. We traveled from the time we left our house until the time we got home tonight, thirteen-hundred miles and we are very tired.
