We had a lovely trip to Biloxi! The drive, both ways, were good with light traffic, and the weather was good. It was cloudy Weds. and Thurs. and we thought we were going to get some rain Thursday afternoon, but it blew through.

Our view from the balcony wasn't as good as I was wanting, but after rearranging the chairs, it was decent. There was a construction site directly across from us, but it was interesting watching them some too. We didn't really like it that they started working at 6:30 in the morning, but that was only a minor inconvenience.

Bill did pretty well, especially since we spent most of the time in the casino. He was a little overwhelmed by all the noise and people, but settled down after awhile and enjoyed himself. He gave me a few heart stopping moments when he mis-stepped getting on the escalator a couple of times, and then tripped going down a small flight of stairs. We also had to step over a "seal" for the balcony door that I was afraid he was going to trip over, and he did forget a couple of times.

But, for the most part, he did quite well. My legs are pretty sore from all the walking we did. But I knew I need to move more anyway.

We were pleased to see that, of all the things that were lost during Katrina, the historic lighthouse still stood. We remembered where the hotel we had stayed in before had stood, but it's gone now, as well as the older homes that lined the beach road.

We got home late this afternoon, got the car unloaded and then ordered a pizza. Bill has taken his meds for tonight so we can go to bed any time, and it probably won't be long. We're not planning on doing anything tomorrow. I may do laundry, and then again, may not. 

We're taking 2 of the grandkids to Illinois to meet my mother, step-dad, sister and niece for lunch on Monday. These 2 kids haven't seen "Grandma Phyllis" for 4 years. We're all driving halfway and it just happens that it's a nice area with lots of restaurants. It will be a 6 hour round trip drive, not counting the time we spend together, but once we get home, we can just collapse and not do anything at all for a few days. Then again, the car is due for an oil change and tire rotation, and I need to find some double pointed knitting needles. We only have a Walmart here for supplies and they don't have the right size. So it's a trip to either Hobby Lobby or Jo-Ann Fabrics.

All for this week. Enjoy the rest of your holiday week-end!
