From the travel journal:
3/8 Tuesday A pretty day to finish loading up. Couldn't get the ice chest handle down wo had to rearrange that area. Out of the driveway at 4:28pm.
Audio Books: William R Forstchen's One Second After
Stopped in St Joseph for Red Rack Thrift and supper at McDonalds. Gassed up before KC. Stopped at Walmart, Booneville and settled by midnight.
3/9 Wednesday Bought replacement flashlight in Walmart. Stopped at Waffle House in Columbia and gassed up. In St Charles stopped at Goodwill and St Vincent de Paul. Cape Girardeux Golden Corral and gas then on to West Memphis Cracker Barrel and settled by 11:30.
3/10 Thursday Headed to Schlotski's for lunch in Memphis, Tennessee then on the road to Jackson, Mississippi gas at Shell before Jackson then Goodwill in Jackson. On the road to Hattiesburg racker Barrel. Settled by 10:30
3/11 Friday Last minute shopping iist in Hattiesburg then on the road to Lumberton Taco Bell (our restaurant there no longer exists) an then King's Arrow Ranch. Since there was an afternoon downpour we headed back to Lumberton for groceries. The site was drained enough to begin setting up camper then shop tent. Into Lumberton for supper at Road House and settled by 10:30. It was a cold night as predicted, lots of rain off and on into evening and all night.
3/12 Saturday A pretty, clear day warming nicely. Leofwyna at work filling tent with goods. Works on it until 6:30. [Forgotten at home - tarps, my heart and hard-boiled eggs.] I spent the afternoon in the RAV reading as the afternoon chilled. Headed back to Road House for supper then up the road to LOVES for a hot shower in a not cold room. Settled in trailer about 10. It's been a cold evening but at least dry.
3/13 Sunday Another pretty, clear morning. Leofwyna continues unpacking merchandise, now in garb. I'm in garb too but taking it easy most of the afternoon until the sun lowered and I got chilled and headed to the RAV to read. We tried a Chinese cafe in Pervus - meh. Settled in trailer by 9;45. Leofwyna had enough sales today to make her happy. She gave me a big piece of scrap linen, instead of pricing it to sell.
3/14 Monday Opps! Overslept (my watch was off an hour somehow). It's going to get warm today. No ones said anything yet about where we're parking by the trailer so we continue to have both heat and light, no alarm. Yay! I spent the afternoon with Marcella and continued embroidering the dog wheel. Got complimented on my work by Lisette.
We got supper at KFC in Hattiesburg. Leofwyna had left her phone in camp so we had to be careful not to get lost. She is very happy with her shop numbers today. I finished second dog wheel badge tonight. Just three tongues to do tomorrow.
NOTE: Learned Sunday night was the switch to DST so that's to blame for our time confusion this morning.
3/15 Tuesday Rained really hard for along time in the night until just barely light. Went back to sleep to dream. Leofwyna up to check at merchants' office for her tax report forms before opening her shop. When I got up and dressed I headed up the merchant line to spend another afternoon with Marcella. After closing we headed out to find supper and groceries for the next couple days when we won't be getting away. Settled for the night at 9:45.
3/16 Wednesday Headed to EpL for the afternoon. Made progress on the neck piece embroidery. A Meredes gentleman gave me a ride back to our site when a 'bus' hadn't come by. We hit the food court for supper (roast chicken wasn't too bad). Leofwyna had long day with Midnight Madness.
3/17 Thursday I had a slow start today reading. Early afternoon headed to Calontir party to ensure a good spot for court later. Continuing embroidery on Gerald's neckpiee at the Calontir pavilion which is, by the way, a new one with a new floor-covering.
Asa Luffa received a Silver Hammer. After court and some of the party Leofwyna and I headed to 31 Flavors in Hattiesburg for ice cream. Settle in camper by 10.
3/18 Friday The predicted storm didn't arrive until near dawn and wasn't the wildness some had expected. Leofwyna did end up fighting 'wet' again though. I began slowly then covered for her so she could shop. Continued the afternoon with a fold car foray to check out the entire site. When I returned to relieve her again for another shopping foray she decided to put dirty laundry in the bigger RAV cubby and managed to spill the night bucket I'd put off dealing with until 'later', phew! Once merchants finished we headed out to find a Red Lobster in Hattiesburg. Settled in camp by 10:30 after flooding Robin at the gate about benefits of SCA.
3/19 Saturday Last day of merchanting closed at 3pm. Packing up and taking down tent and loading RAV 3-9. I dropped a table on my right foot at the end of it all - OUCH! Settled in camper 10pm.
