Well, it is now Jan. 6 and we are in Victoria TX.  We left Cindy's on the 29th of Dec after having Christmas with the family.  Great highways all the way down. We traveled the Natchez Trace from Nashville TN to Natchez MS, 444 miles of parkway. NO TRUCKS.  We stayed with friends in Orange TX for two nights.  It was a nice visit with a couple, Bill and Tish Palmer, that we worked with in MT last summer.  They actually spend their winters parked at a friends house.  We enjoyed our visit. Had great BBQ and seafood. Larry and Phyllis, the Palmers friends. took us all for cake and ice cream to the extended family's house.  Just like home, Wild!!  Phyllis and Tish are hooked on the WII playing Shrek.  We left their place on Sun. morning so we could get thru Houston when the traffic was not too bad. That place is a zoo to cross.  It was 77 degrees when we left and going west on I-10 the temp dropped to 43 degrees.  So south we went!  Now it is getting really nice. hi 60's today and mid to high 70's the rest of the week.  We are staying for a week here. Tomorrow we'll take a ride down to the gulf and perhaps have seafood for lunch. We are only 25 miles from the beach.  We'll also see what if any hurricane damage is still there.  They have a big zoo here we'll also visit.  There is an old town a few miles south of here that has shops and restaurants and old buildings to visit.  Well, Cindy,  this will have to do. If dad shares the computer tonight I'll download some pictures. Love to all
