November 5, 2009. Jackson, Ms. The Trip.

It was a lovely night, leaving San Antonio. The moon was big and bright and the night clear so we drove one shift each, and by the time we were ready to quit, we were on the east side of Houston. This was a great blessing as the morning traffic in Houston is supposed to be hectic. A Holiday Inn appeared just when I ended my two hours, so we quickly checked into this old but clean motel and were soon drinking wine before going to sleep. In the olden days, we often drove at night, but recently we prefer to drive by daylight, but last night, driving on the inter-state 10, it was a piece of cake.

Grilled fresh tuna was for dinner last evening with David and Suzanne and the girls. It was a wonderful dinner, along with green beans and potatoes. Ice cream for dessert. It was a celebration and a send off. We enjoyed it.

Today, Kate and Mary Frances and Molly were waiting to greet us at the door. After a cup of tea with Christina and the girls, we went to see our new condo. We were pleased with our purchase. It is a very nice spot, right by the lake, so after a short nap, we put away the stuff we had left with Andrew and Christina. Also, Christina had left goodies for us, such as milk, coffee, bread peanut butter, cereal and bread. So nice to have agreeable helpful family!!
