Tina’s Not Allowed To Play With Knives

Tina could not be trusted with a knife to help with the Thanksgiving Day preparations. She was given a pair of scissors to “chop” green onions. No blood was shed.

Poor Little Beast – her Mother made her wear this very unwelcome sweater. She would rather be cold. Tonight, the temp is supposed to drop to 27 degrees. We may scurry into the house to sleep on the couch!

LaFleur State Park, Jackson MS

Where Abby and I spent out first night – cold, wet, miserable. The Little Beast actually snuggled with me most of the night! I would have loved for the weather to be better – build a nice fire, have a nice glass of wine, and throw The Beast into the river and watch the ducks try and eat her…

We are now safely ensconced in the driveway of Vickie, the Sulphur LA Doofus.

Baja Bound

Time is drawing near for lift-off! Had the Mobile Marlin "detailed" and she almost looks brand new. The new truck is chomping at the bit to begin its task of hauling us safely to Baja and back. Look out, Pedro. We're coming for you.

(don't the truck and little trailer look good together?)

First real stop - VICKIE's HOUSE near Lake Charles, Louisiana! YAY.
I hope her cooking doesn't produce its usual effects on my stomach...
