After a wonderful night of restful sleep, we were both awake around 5:00 this morning, got ready, had breakfast and were rolling out of Jackson, Mississippi about 6:45.
Read one of my daily devotionals going down the road.
Not even 7:00 in the morning and it’s already 82 degrees!
And we were on our way to Vicksburg.
Now there goes an encourager!
A going down the road shot in the early morning long shadows.
In less than an hour, we were at the Mississippi welcome center in Vicksburg, on the Mississippi River.
I thoroughly enjoyed taking pictures here. 
The Welcome Center. The back door faces the river.
A barge on the river.
This flag posed for a few seconds for the camera. 
It’s not even 8:00 AM and we’re already in Louisiana.
Of course, it’s humid, so it feels like it’s 100 degrees.
We’re meeting our good friends Jimmy and Lucy in Bossier City, for lunch. We are so excited to get to see them.
Their granddaughter, Sarah, is spending the week with them, so we got to meet her! It took a her little bit to warm up to us, but she really liked Don, imagine that, and really got into telling stories about her daddy when he was a boy. Her facial expressions were so cute, kind of similar to her grandmother’s. Jimmy has no clue that he’s in this picture, too.
We thoroughly enjoyed Sarah’s stories.
Sarah sure does favor her Mimi.
Jimmy and Don.
I told you Sarah likes Don. No one told her to stand there, she just walked up and leaned on his leg as if to say, “I want my picture made with him, too.” Cuteness.
Soon it was time to get back on the road, and put Shreveport behind us.
By 12:30 PM, we were back in Texas, but still had hours to travel before getting to Waco, our goal for the night.
When we got to Waco about 4:00 pm, we got our motel room and then met Leslie and family at Bush’s Fried Chicken. We love Bush’s!!! After dinner, they all came to the motel and the kids swam and Leslie pampered her sore muscles (from working out) in the hot tub.
Praise the Lord, we had another comfortable bed and were in it before 11:00 PM. So thankful to be safely with family once again, even for only one evening.

We had stopped at Vicksburg! The battlefield and the storier were really gory and I can't imagine people even moving around in the brush and vegetation!!! What a, I'm going to call it "stupid" war! Guess all people have different ideas though.
