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
50th 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…..
Ronnie and Anita
