Safe travels!

Teddi calls Red Roof "widdle wooms" and loves to see what she can find under beds in motels. YUCK!

We made Natchez tonite and went to dinner at a restaurant recommended by Roadfood.com. After 15 min of being ignored we left, went to a bar down by the mighty Missip. Had bar food, walked over, looked at the river and got back to the room. Came in and Ray was missing...oh no!! Could he have snuck out??? Nope, he got BEHIND the dresser and under it. Took me about 4 trips around the entire room even looking in the tub. G had to take the drawer out and haul him up. Doncha know there is this really skinny partly feral here at the motel. Had to tell him he was about 3 months too late, but still stood him to a good meal and will probably feed him every time he shows up.

Tomorrow, we'll see how many plantation houses we can do before I fall apart. We paid for 2 nights so Ray can stay in the AC and we don't have to worry about him frying.

Hoping y'all are safe and enjoying your travels even through the rough storms!

WOW, we were fortunately South of the storms, but our weather radio alerted 5 times. One for each line of storms that went thru. We were parked right next to the bathhouse to dart in if necessary. We were South of all the damage and have just driven thru a lot of it on the Trace. Big trees are all beside the road, they have cut thru anything on the road, but it seems really lucky that where the worst twister hit the trees were back off the road so not too much work.

I am saddened to hear of the loss of life. We know that our friend in Tuskaloosa (sp)is ok, but bad property damage. We are detouring to Memphis to visit a friend VW camper buddy so I will check to see what's around there re quilting shops!
