We got here at about 11:30pm. We're still on California time and able to stay awake a bit longer to get here.
It was a good trip. We breezed through Louisianna and I forgot to get postcards to send out!! I sent some from Texas so the next batch will have to go from Mississippi.
We are going to be seeing some of my long time friends.....I was here almost 4 years ago and I'm excited to be back and visit them again.

Goodbye Texas
I would have to say that our visit to Tyler Texas was, interesting.....LOL!!!
We got up this morning and called my friend, Cathy, to meet us for breakfast at Denny's, located just in front of the motel we were staying in.
I had noticed, while taking my shower that the water was "slow" to get warm if you had it on cold and visa versa.....just something that I noted.
While waiting to be seated, I overheard a customer, talking on the phone at the cash register, say, "so, are they going to sentence you today or tomorrow?" Hmmmmm.......we were escorted to our table.
When we were waiting for our server to wait on us, I looked up just in time to see a man walk up on the seat of the booth in back of him, to set himself back down next to a man in the booth, just in front of us.....ROFLOL!! My eyes just about popped out! I guess that he didn't want to disturb the person by having him get out and let him back in his seat.
We just about had to twist our server's arm to get anything out of her. I asked her if she would bring us more coffee........she showed up with the coffee pot and stood there waiting for us to hold up our cups....LOL! She was in no hurry to get things done. That's when I told Cathy that even my shower water was slow to change temperatures.....I told her that it must be something about Tyler.....LOL!
She and I left and escorted John to the local Mall. We didn't want to bore him with our trip to the scrapbook store. ( I will post a link to it tomorrow...I forgot the business card in the car) They had some fun and different things there that I hadn't seen in other stores that I've been to.
We went back to the mall, picked up John and we were on our way again. I got to see a armadillo.....dead, on the side of the road, but I saw one......another thing, not moving a bit.
We didn't stay there long, but we did have a good time!! THANK YOU LORRI, TODD, CATHY and TEXAS!!!
