3/20 Sunday Load car top freight and drop camper so we can head out to LOVES for showers. Nice hot showers! Ate and gassed up, too. On the road at Noon. No thrift stores open so we drove across the state to Nachez.
6:30 drove about the old part of town before supper (great old architecture) at Magnolia Grill down by the Mississippi River 'Under the Hill'. Leofwyna had shrimp and grits and I ordered the crawfish etouffee. Between the two of us we had enough to eat without the disappointing etouffee. The waitress deducted the etouffee and brought us two pieces of pie. I didn't care for the chocolate pecan (L loved it) so I ate the coconut which was lovely. Set up at the Information Center and settled by 10.
3/21 Monday I started my morning embroidering. Leofwyna had her chance to sleep in today and start slowly. When she did get going she swept out the caper before we dropped it for the day. So many things closed on Monday, no thrift stores or plantation house tours. Lunch at the Moo Barn then less than an hour at the library (they closed at 5). Drove around looking at flowers, houses, basilica, etc. then the old cemetary until dark. Subway for supper and two episodes of West Wing in the RAV. Settled in the RAV by 10.
3/22 Tuesday It's a wet day. We left Nachez to drive up the Nachez Trace to Jackson where we found that like Nachez they've closed everything for the day due to the so-called terrible storm which turns out to bbe an all day rain with occasional lightning and thunder. To add insult to injury the three Baskin Robbins are no longer open and the city library is closed as well. Supper at Sonny's BBQ then on he road towards West Memphis. Settled by 11 at Cracker Varrel. There was lots of rain to drive through; found beds dank, Leofwyna's corner rather wet.
3/23 Wednesday A grey, overcast morning with rain predicted in the afternoon. We're into Memphis for thrift stores after waffles for breakfast. Goodwill, AmVets, DAM and other smaller ones. 6pm heading towards St Louis. Supper at Hayti and settled at Cape Girardeux by midnight after a couple erroneous detours.
3/24 Thursday Stayed the night at a Cracker Barrel in Cape Girardeux. Overcast but only sprinkling a we closed up the camper. Golden Corral for lunch then on to St Louis and St Charles (naps along the way). Goodwill, St Vincent de Pauls, etc. And for supper teppenyaki; our table mates Russian descent, two sons. Settled at Cracker Barrel about 9 for a nice, relaxing evening.
3/25 Friday Waffle House in St Louis for breakfast then several thrift stores through the afternoon. Found a deli (Pickles) before it closed and got Pastrami sandwiches and brownies to go as we headed out of town, Stopped at a SAVERS in O'Fallen then remembered we needed Propane!! Drove across Missouri to Independence. Settled at Cracker Barrel by 11:30.
3/26 Saturday Lunch at Schlotzkeys then thrift stores through the afternoon. Home by 8:30.
3/27 Sunday Settling in at home after the trip. Unloading waits for the upcoming weekdays. Missed that gaming Sunday was at Theron's so was zooming Arne DM with Buck Bannerman. No points assigned but did get some cool stuff from the dwarves. Monday headed out for crispy fish and the Apple Goodwill where I found a couple white tops for this summer. Tuesday was an appointment with Dr Owen. He ordered an ultrasound to check in left leg for a blood clot and we were relieved that was not the issue. No med changes. Wednesday, three sessions at the library then was reminded Magmor was still zoom this week. Leofwyna and I headed to Red Robin for salads before going home; missed the zoom meeting altogether. Thursday, grey so stayed in working on the laptop all day and through the evening. Friday I didn't get to sleep last night and then slept until near noon; Leofwyna slept until near two. We were late going to lunch then I headed to the library for a session before going home to continue on the laptop.
