May 5, 2011. Jackson, Mississippi. Driving Again.

We drove on the roads less travelled.  It was worth an extra hour.  Our route took us from the south-west corner of Louisiana at an angle, to Monroe, driving on good roads but roads that had very little traffic.  It was pleasant and scenic and we still arrived at the condo by 1:00.   We were surprised at the amount of lumbering in that part of the state.  The trees were big and the farms looked prosperous.  There were houses along every highway and they all looked neat and tidy.

After taking our belongings into the condo, we went to have tea with Christina and the girls, sitting outside on the furniture Andrew just gave to Christina for her birthday.  It is always exciting to see the girls even though we had only been gone for a month.   Today was ballet lessons, so we got to see them dressed like ballerinas and I must say, they look beautiful.  In ten days we get to attend their dance recital.  I am excited to see them dance.  But for now, we will enjoy the wonderful weather in Jackson.
