A afternoon of shopping

Today is Friday! Ooops .. that no longer applies to me because everyday is Friday ..hehe I got up and did my normal morning routine of just taking my time and doing what i want.

A little before 10 am i got dressed and went over to the church to visit with the guys and gals. The walls sure are going up. With the new walls up you can tell what the rooms are going to look like .. pretty exciting.

Then i came home and got online and did some searching for a Lowe’s, Hobby Lobby, Wal-mart. We had lunch, yes .. left over’s but hey it’s better then nothing .. right? After lunch we decided we would take a trip to Hattiesburg to do some shopping. I forgot to get my pumpkin spice for my candle and with Thanksgiving on it’s way i wanted the pumpkin scent. Can you believe they were out? It was around 6 pm when we arrived back and by then i wasn’t in the mood to cook so we went back to the same place we ate Saturday night. I got the name this time .. Rocky Creek Catfish. This time hubby and i both had the all you can eat catfish fritters for 10 bucks a person. It was good but .. we waited in line about 45 mins to get a table! Yikes it was a busy night, but worth the wait and by the time we got served i was starving.

We went home, unloaded and i took a shower and called it an early night, i was exhausted.

More walls up

We woke to a cool morning of 51 degrees but it’s in the 60’s with the sun shining. The wind is blowing but in the sun it’s beautiful.

From the cool/damp weather my back hurt me most of the night and so this morning i got up and took some med’s and went back to bed. I finally got up and got myself moving. I got a load of laundry going (which i just love having in my home).

The building is going pretty good, i finally caught the guys putting up a wall.

Lunch for me was left over potato soup and left over bean soup for hubby. After lunch i finally got the driver i needed for my printer downloaded from Kodak for windows 7. My new laptop is windows 7 and my printer wouldn’t work it .. finally it does now.

A rainy day

Sometime during the night it started to rain and at times it poured. Most of the morning it rained. The satellite guy showed up around 9 am. Yes, i have my TV Land, Hallmark and Lifetime again!

I didn’t venture outside this morning because of the rain. So I really didn’t do much today other then i did make potato soup for lunch. With the rain and cooler weather it was tasty.

We went to a church tonight and they had a wonderful meal before church. Yummie we had fried chicken, corn, cheesy potatoes, vanilla wafer pudding .. it was so good.

Church services were fantastic again tonight. This church sure does know how to worship and the minister sure does know how to preach. It turned off to be a wonderful evening and life is so good when your serving the Lord.

Work in progress

It’s been a on and off light rain day. So far the guys have been able to keep plugging along. I spent my morning cleaning and doing things around the camper. I did venture out to see how things were coming along. Lonna and I normally like to see how things are going and to see if the men need anything.

Things are coming along, they have 3 walls up now as you can see in the pictures above.

After lunch we waited on the satelitte guy to show up and finally around 2 pm they called to say he wouldn’t be here today after all .. instead first thing in the morning. So today was called a short day and we decided to head to find the nearest Wally world as we needed supplies. Wally world is about 30 mins away and so as usual we spent too much .. wow groceries are getting higher. We spent $130 and didn’t get much at all!

We got home and called it a relaxing night .. we were both tired as neither of us slept good the night before. Must be the humid weather. It feels like more rain is in the air to us both.

1st Day of November

I woke up to a beautiful morning, the sun is shining.

Here is our home from the front where we are parked for a few months.

Are the guys trying to get some work done building onto a church?

Dale and Ben check to see if it’s level

Are these guys working on helping to add a small addition and to tie the buildings together? Oops i forget their volunteers and breaks are often and work is little … just kidding ..on a serious note .. it’s all work for the Lord and some may have health issues, some are older and they may require more breaks or only offer a few hours of service but no matter what the circumstances were blessed to be here and be apart of this wonderful experience.

My flowers are enjoying the warm weather again. They love going south for the winter.

I spent my day doing a bit of straightening up, did a couple loads of laundry and spent the afternoon visiting with new friends.

It’s been a beautiful day here .. God is so good.

Happy Halloween

Wow, it’s amazing this is the last day of Oct. Where has the time gone this summer?

We went to church and after church we went to lunch with new friends and church members. We went to a Southern Buffet and man o man .. it was so good. I thought Woody’s had the best fried chicken .. wrong this place does. The food was excellent and i look forward to enjoy more meals there.

After church we came home and it’s such a beautiful day outside. The weather is perfect. This is the view out my front door .. yes the dogs are excited to have a big yard to run in.

These 2 pictures are out of the big and small window sitting at my table. I love the view as i’m not to hip on seeing RV’s out my window.

The view out the back side of our camper is a building and RV.

Hubby changed clothes and went to work on leveling up our rig as this morning i had problems with bouncing from wall to wall. The rig settled a bit on the loose soil and so he went to work to level us up. He did a wonderful job and now i won’t be bouncing off the walls. We went to evening services and once again the service was good. The song service is wonderful, the pastor so far seems to be what we like. The people appear to be very friendly.

After church we came home and spent the evening relaxing.

Mississippi here we come

Last night was our first time staying over night while traveling on the road since we got our new home. It’s different then it was in the motor home. With our motor home we had access to everything. Well in our new home, we don’t. When the slides are in you can not access anything in the kitchen/living room. No big deal since i don’t do much cooking and esp when were on the road.

We do have access to the bedroom and bathroom, very important. With our new home we have to lift the generator in and out, in our motor home we didn’t have to do that. What we did was put it under the 5th wheel between the truck and camper and we ran a ext cord through the bedroom slide out to plug in the TV, alarm clock and my computer of course. those are must have things. One good thing we like about truck stops is the truckers don't mind our generator noise as their running their trucks, plus the noise is an added bonus as when it’s quiet we don’t sleep as good. Other then the fact that you don’t have heat/air while your traveling, it wasn’t bad. Normally by the time we stop were tired and ready to lay in bed and relax anyway.

We woke to a nippy morning .. we took the dogs potty, went inside and got coffee, soda and a honey bun for the road. We pulled out of the Pilot a bit after 7 am and as you can see the temp was 30 degrees!

Once we were into Mississippi the temps had warmed up nicely and it was a smooth ride.

We were finally in Mississippi and of course we had to stop at the welcome center.

The welcome center was pretty neat, it had soldiers and of course fall decorations.

Lots of miles through Mississippi as once again we are going down the entire state.

We finally arrived around 2.30 pm. Jim and a man named Russell greeted us. Hubby got us backed in and we started getting setup.

After we got settled in we went out to dinner with fellow RVer’s Jim and Lonna. They took us to a fabulous place called Catfish something .. i forget the rest but will get it later. The food was wonderful and the fish was excellent! I had a Ribeye steak that was so good, hubby and the others had all you can eat catfish .. it was really good too.

We got home around 8 or so and we were exhausted so we called it a night and went to our own homes. A shower and the bed was calling me. It’s so good to be parked in a new place.
