One last breakfast with Joe & Terry & some woolly creature before we hit the road heading west. Looking at the photo tonight I'm amazed Terry looked so good for a guy with a really bad chest cold and who tried to knock himself out the night before with equal amounts of grapefruit juice and vodka, and who has no idea how he's going to get from Pensacola to Orlando. Turns out Florida is just a tiny bit bigger than he thought. Even Joe's connection to the Navy couldn't get Terry a lift on one of those Blue Angel aircraft. Perhaps it had something to do with that humongous bright red suitcase Terry brought. If you folks in Syracuse don't see him back in a week, perhaps you better organize a rescue team.As for us, we said goodbye to Florida, Alabama (again), Mississippi, Louisiana, and now we're in Houston. Mississippi & Louisiana both have beautiful new welcome centers with free coffee. Stopped in Ponchatoula, LA for lunch where they have 3 shakers on the table - salt, pepper, cajun seasoning plus big bottles of Crystal hot sauce & Tabasco instead of ketchup. Other than that, I10 across those states is absolutely uninteresting. Makes us appreciate beautiful upstate NY!
Don might tell you welcome home! He still thinks he needs to make an annual trip to the river, aka the Brazos. I keep telling him there is a River down the road in Ava and she thinks a lot of her Poppy.
