Sitting here on the sofa, looking out at the Mississippi River. Literally, the river no more than 30' away from our RV. With the huge back window of the RV it gives one the feeling of actually sitting on the bank of the Mississippi and watching the barges go by, wondering where they are going, what's on the barges and if the tug boat driver is bored or does he or she love the job. I always think, naively I'm sure, that everyone else in the world loves their job and I'm the only person who hated most of my jobs.
This morning we woke to rain and a storm front you could see coming in across the the river. To me there is nothing like being in an RV when it is raining or storming. I can do without the wind thing but the sound of the rain hitting the RV. It's almost like a sleeping sedative for me. Plus it reminds me of my mom. She lived in a mobile home with a steel roof and I loved sleeping at her home when it rained. Especially, too, when it was cool outside. Ahhhh...nothing better. I'm pretty sure I'd get sick of it after a few days of the rain but for a day or two while vacationing and relaxing it's a welcome relief to always having to go, go, go.
We do plan on driving in to Memphis later in the day to hit one of Guy's, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Of course Memphis is famous for Elivs but it is also known for it's BBQ. Jack printed out a list of Guy's stops here so hopefully we can hit a couple of them.
But for now it's still raining, the dogs are laying around, E Entertainment is on the tube, Jack is sitting at the table reading and of course I'm being totally productive and blogging. And lovin every minute of it.
My heart is still very wounded and will always be. My prayers, thoughts, and love is always, always, always with Brenda, Terry and Bill.
