A Movie and Just Chillin'

(Betty’s RV Park, Abbeville, LA) Hi 84° F, Low 64° F

Wednesday, April 2^nd

We didn’t do a whole lot today.  We mainly hung out at the RV just chillin’.

We went to Happy Hour for a little while before we left to go see a movie.  “Noah” was playing at the Lafitte Cinema here in Abbeville, LA.  We thought it was a good movie although we’ve heard others say they didn’t like it because it didn’t follow the literal version of the Bible.  I don’t expect anything that comes out of Hollywood to follow any story literally.

We read some more in each of the books we are currently reading.  Again, we are able to do much more reading for pleasure than before we retired which is a good thing. Right now I’m reading Enigma by Robert Harris and Lisa is reading Stillwatch by Mary Higgins Clark.

Another day of us not doing much.  I did finish my book this morning.  It was very good and I plan to read more of Robert Harris’ novels.

We have tentative plans for when we leave here next Tuesday.  We’re looking at traveling along the 444 mile-long Natchez Trace from Natchez, MS to Nashville, TN.  It’s an “All-American Road & National Scenic Byway”.  From the Natchez Trace brochure it features “Native American burial mounds to antebellum mansions, placid lakes to Civil War battle sites, nature trails to urban cityscapes”.

We did go to the store and picked up a couple of different brands of sausage as well as other items.  Manda’s and Robies brands of sausage were highly recommended by the locals so we wanted to try them.  If we like either or both we’ll pick up some more and freeze them for later when we’re on the road again.

Each day I watch SportsCenter on ESPN to get caught up with any new developments and news on the NCAA Final Four that’s coming up this Saturday.  The Semifinals are on Saturday and the finals on Monday.

Go Cats!

Several campers left today and a couple more pulled in.  We met the newcomers during Happy Hour.  We introduced ourselves to each other and had a good time.  Many people bring finger foods and appetizers and they are always good.  We’re going to get a recipe from one of the couples that brought a seasoned mix of several kinds of crackers and pretzels. Another couple from Canada is leaving tomorrow and wanted our recipe for bacon-wrapped stuffed chicken.  Later this evening I printed it out and took it to them.

It’s supposed to start raining late tonight and there’s a chance of rain each day through Sunday.

I’ll write again soon.

Thanks for following.
