Holy mackerel dere, Andy . . .

Long Beach, Mississippi

I've got homework! Yes, I helped out in a class of three year olds today and when I asked Miss Camille, a brand spankin' new teacher what I could do to help as I would also be there tomorrow she sent me home with an arts and craft kit for Halloween and I have to cut out some of the pieces because our kiddos are not too adept yet! It's a riot! I hope I can understand the directions! I must say I was happy to be back and they were all happy to see me. I don't even have to stop at the office to announce my presence! We also voted today. So that's out of the way.

Yesterday daughter-in-law and I went to check out Wolf River Campground in Mississippi because I had been offered a chance at a second go round to win a golf cart. Well, son had warned me that it was probably a push for us to buy a timeshare but what the heck we figured we'd give it a try and if M liked the place they might decide to camp there. Well, without much ado I'll tell you that we were greeted by the most despicable man I have ever met. Because P&D's Pop wasn't with me he wouldn't give us the grand tour. I explained that Jade, the lady from the campground, had told me it was okay to come with M and that husband was not available. He refused to listen to me and sped away from me in his golf cart. I was ticked enough to follow him and yell for him to stop and come back. He did and I insisted I be allowed to enter the drawing for the free LSU golf cart. He gave me six tickets and rode off on the cart again, following two other people who work there on their cart. I will admit that we got a couple of half price tickets for lunch at the Silver Slipper, a casino, and supposedly three days and two nights free camping and permission to look around and go fishing but we were so ticked off with his obnoxious behavior we left. And that was the best thing to do. M knew that the Silver Slipper was near a camping spot that they were going to in November so we went for a ride. The rest is history!

We had the time of our lives driving along the gulf coast in Mississippi. I've never been on the gulf and she showed me places of incredible beauty. We had a wonderful day. Besides finding Buccaneer Park we stopped and watched fishermen catching oodles of fish; we ate at the best restaurant in Long Beach; I took photos of birds, trains, trees and beauteous buildings. Perfect day.
