I Wonder as I Wander…

The first week of February found us headed for Jackson, MS. This was a pretty uneventful trip even though it included my birthday and Valentine’s Day. The weather was very warm—although rainy, but I was inside most of the time—judging Hallmark Award entries. I even judged most evenings, although we did go out to Cock of the Walk for catfish on my birthday. A restaurant called Shapleys—which has the best Filet Mignon that I have ever had, is right across from the hotel, so we went there on Friday evening. Otherwise we ate breakfast and a light supper at the hotel every day.

One neat thing was we got a Hyundai for our rental and Bob noticed it only had 11 miles on it—that must be the trip odometer—nope, it was a brand new car—it even still had that new car smell. Saturday was Valentines Day and that’s when we flew home. We did have enough time in the cities so Ross and Richard could pick us up for lunch at TGI Fridays. One of their new dishes was Macaroni and Cheese—not like the boxed Kraft kinds, but four cheeses on penne. It was really good. All four of us split a vanilla bean cheese cake.

Then it was home to the cold again.
