Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm!!!!

First things first... Here is my usual something pink... Flowers for all my girlfriends. A gentle but nagging reminder about calling your GYN and scheduling that ever important check up... If your a man please make your wife call her doctor...

Now on to the other stuff... When we got up yesterday morning we had fully intended on going into Memphis but I woke up with such a sinus headache we postponed it to Thursday... After some really strong meds I felt a a lot better so we went outside to sit and you know, do nothing... Then the Mac Daddy of all barges came down the river... This load was so big it had 3 barges pushing it and what looked like a riverboat on the side... Ralph said it was the equipment that they use to dredge out the channels in the river... Anywho here are some photos of the barge & tugs.

These following pictures are all on Barge... Double click on the first picture and you will see the entire Barge and tugs... The second picture will show you the 3 tugs pushing from the rear... it looks like 2 but if you enlarge the picture you will see a tiny tug in the middle.

THESE NEXT 4 PHOTOS ARE THE SAME BARGE JUST DIFFERENT AREAS. SEE THE BIG RED ONE DOESN'T IT LOOK LIKE A OLD FASHION STEAM BOAT...

Next is the strangest vehicle I have ever seen in any RV park in 40 years of camping... It is made by UNICAT and it looks like a garbage truck to me but I understand it is a 4 wheel drive all terrain vehicle that can keep occupants comfortable in temperatures ranging from 70 below to 130 degrees Fahrenheit. This one had an entire section that raise up to make a second story.

Now I know you may not be interested in this BUT maybe your DH's will enjoy seeing it... It is sure a different way to go but in my opinion these people have more money the sense.. Still looks like a garbage truck to me... I might be wrong...

Well raining today and if it stops we definitely are hitting the city of Memphis... we are going to go into town and take the trolley around and of course go to Blues City Cafe for those RIBS... If not we always have tomorrow

Until Later

All the way to Memphis we go......ta da ta da ta ta

Good Morning all you "HAPPY CAMPERS" Oh ya!!! I am the happy camper... Oh yes and Chris the happy camper too..

Good Morning all you lovely ladies and gentlemen....

I Hope & Pray for a cure so no others have to be struck with the horrible disease... Tell everyone you know to go out and get a mammogram... Early detection is the best defence... It can make a HUGE difference. It did for me...

Our attitude toward life determines life’s attitude towards us

The road to Memphis was good... As I remember from last trip through this area the road (I40) was in desperate need of repair. The trip was about 286 miles which went by pretty fast... We went from Sunshine to Rain to Sunshine and then finished up with a light shower after we got all set up in the campground. We did see some changing of the leaves but very little unlike we did up in the Dakota's... the closer we got to Memphis the less there was...

Here are some pictures taken through the front window... So any buggie splats you see I am sorry... I know ewwwwww.... If can't see them and you want to just enlarge pictures... lol

I am not sure what this crop on the left is but it was pretty and of course the other is cotton fields which I always find to be pretty... like snow

Love the tugboats that go up & down the Mississippi River. They travel all day and night.

The first picture is a view from out our front window and the second is of course the moon shots I love so dearly... The full moon is tonight so don't forget to go out and HOWL at the moon...

Sorry the pictures are a little hazy but it was a hazy day off and on... We have no site seeing plans for today but sit outside by the river and watch all the tugsboats and barges go by...

Until Later

Could not resist her... isn't she cute
