November 15, 2016. Madison, Mississippi. Home.

We did it.  Taking two nights of the road worked well for both Ken and me.  Our stops were enough to allow us a bit of a walk and we did not need to drive after dark.  Today we arrived at 1:30, just in time for lunch at home, which was a blessing.  We have been enjoying our meals on the journey but we have been overeating.

Suzanne brought all the belongings from the car into the house while Ken and I started the organizing.  We are still not finished putting stuff away but we will peck away.  My preference is to put everything away immediately but I can not do that anymore, even when Suzanne is helping.

We did sit on the deck in the comfortable chairs and drink a glass of wine.  Ken lit the table top flame which looked lovely.  As we sat enjoying the warm air, the outside lights came on.  The lights were installed in our absence so tonight was the first time we had seen them.  The back yard looks lovely and not a bit garish.   Now you can walk to the dock in the evening and actually be able too see where you are walking.   Suzanne especially enjoyed sitting outdoors in mid November.  Ken and I are grateful for Suzanne for driving us.  By ourselves, we would have been here the end of the week.  Thank God for friends.  We are pleased to be home in this lovely comfortable home.
