Movin' On

Vicksburg, Mississippi

Weather: low 37 degrees in Livingston, high 67 degrees in Vicksburg, clear skies, light breezes

The weather for traveling was about as good as a person could hope for. We left Livingston about 0845 hours this morning. Traffic was not bad, and the road was in good shape, allowing us to make good time with few stops. We arrived in Vicksburg about 1530 hours, and after setting up the RV, I helped a new Dish Network system owner set his system up for the first time. I remember the first time I set our system up, it was so hard I started thinking I was going to take it back and get our money back. Then, all of a sudden, I hit the satellite and everything was right with the world. By now, I have set it up hundreds of times, and very seldom have a problem. If I do have a problem, it doesn't take long to get it straightened out. It's a good thing, because Carolyn would be ready to settle down somewhere if she didn't have her TV.

After resting a few minutes and cleaning up, we just had to go to one of the casinos here in Vicksburg and donate a little money to their causes. Before the donation took place, we went to eat at the buffet, which was very good. Eating at the buffet was a mistake, however, because we can't eat like we used to. Here it is three hours later, and I am still so full, even though I only had one plate. It will be a long time before we do that again.

After leaving the trough, we went into the casino so Carolyn could make the donation. You will note that I said Carolyn was making the donation. I believe giving begins at home. However, I don't mind her playing if she wants to, because she always keeps it under control. Once her specified donated amount was deposited, she was ready to leave. We came home and watched TV for a little while, then some reading. We are both tired, but tomorrow's trip should be easier, with our arrival in Tuscaloosa about 1300 hours. That will give us time to set up and rest a bit before seeing Terri.

More later, be safe.
