November 22, 2013. Shrevesport, Louisiana. Rain.

We have becoming smart in our old age.   This morning, we left Jewett in the rain.  Ken was at the wheel.  After 90 minutes, we stopped for gas and I took over and drove another 90 minutes, still driving in the rain.   We have driven three hours and it was for lunch.

Country Comfort was the name of the restaurant.   The food was surprisingly good and we enjoyed our lunch.  As we were now in Louisiana, a Casino was attached to the restaurant.   But we did laugh.   The waitress asked Ken is he wanted brown gravy with his pot roast.  When the food arrived, his plate was floating brown gravy.   When we both stopped laughing, Ken commented that he knew he did not want white gravy, so he had said yes.   His meal was actually very tasty.

While walking to the car through the rain, we looked at each other and decided that we were too old to drive through any more rain, so after driving for ten miles, we checked into a Marriott Fairfield Inn.   It was 2:00.   Our afternoon was lovely.  I took a nap while Ken worked at the computer and read.   Then I got into a hot bath tub.  Finally, we walked to The Cracker Barrel restaurant for a light supper,  but mostly we congratulated ourselves for not driving in the rain!!
