Crossett--last stop

 

Sorry..haven’t blogged…been busy…We (Ronnie and I and Dick and Helen) are at the Crossett RV Park ….for Helen’s and my 50^th Class Reunion.  Hard to believe.  We’re so young.

 

We arrived Friday about noon after a wonderful overnight at Mid-south RV Park in Tunica.  Wow, it’s nice…very large, concrete pads, grassy areas, trees if you want them.  We went to the Paula Deen buffet for dinner.  Another Wow.  All the food is Paula Deen’s recipes.  I think among all 4 of us, we ate something of everything.  Very, very good.   Came back to the RV’s to watch the debate. 

 

As soon as we crossed into Arkansas over the Greenville Bridge on Friday, R and I high-fived each other….Back right where we started—almost.

 

Friday evening, we all went back into Crossett for family visits.  Ronnie went to the ball game with brother-in-law, Bill Boyer.  I visited with my sister, Carlynne Boyer.  Helen and Dick visited with her cousins, the McCormicks.  Ronnie and I got back around 10:30 and went to bed.  No TV, but we read for a while.

 

Friday, on the way here, just before we got to the RV Park, a guy from Texas flagged us down on the highway.  Our bicycle rack had broken and we were dragging bicycles behind us down the  highway.  They had bounced for over 6000 miles….the steel rack just ripped from itself (not a good explanation) but the bikes, thank goodness, were still attached.  But not in very good shape right now.  The only mishap, so far, in our long journey.

 

Today has been a lazy day.  We sat around and visited with Dick and Helen, ate cheese, grapes and crackers for lunch.  And then got dressed for the reunion at 5. 

 

Wow, a great reunion!  It was so good to see everyone and I think we had a wonderful turnout.  Charlotte, Judy, Molly, Edra …Thanks so much for all your hard work.  I know that others were involved and we are all very appreciative of what you did. 

 

After six loooonnnnggg weeks of travel, Ronnie and I are so ready to be home…this reunion was a perfect end to a great trip.  We had fun, saw lots of things, met some really nice people, ate good food, and have seen some beautiful countryside.    But after 6500 miles, 18 states, and 3 Canadian provinces, we can truthfully say, “there’s no place  like home.”  

 

Thanks for following along with us and your nice comments on our blog.  It, again, is fun to do and surely will help us remember our journey.

 

Until next time…..
