April 30, 2013. Jackson, Mississippi. Interstate 20.

Today we drove along interstate 20, right across Louisiana.   The road is straight and is a typical divided highway full of cars and trucks so the driver must concentrate as the speed limit is 75mph.   It was an easy but boring drive.   Once we crossed the Mississippi River it got better as the Magnolia trees were in bloom.  Then we drove the rest of our way to the condo along the Natchez Trace, a road with two lanes winding through the woods,  all while driving 50.    It is a lovely drive home.

Ken and I joined with the Mississippi family for dinner at their home.  It was a celebration of our arrival.   We drank port from 1977 to toast while we nibbled on cheese and crackers.   The dinner had a festive feel as we all expected our arrival to be tomorrow so the early arrival was cause to celebrated.  Even Molly got into the spirit.   We are pleased to be back at our little place in Jackson and to visit our Mississippi family..
