With our nose pointing west….
We sadly leave family and friends in Mississippi and Louisiana….until next time our hearts remain with each of you.
Two weeks ago we visited our family in Purvis, Mississippi. We had a wonderful time and it was truly sad leaving them. They spoil us rotten while we are there.
We stay at my brother and sister-in-law’s farm. While there we also get to see my younger sister and many nieces, nephews, greats and great-greats! Love you guys and thanks for making us feel loved and welcome!
A few Mississippi photos:

Goodbye Mississippi, we’ll be back!
After our visit in Mississippi we drove to Madisonville, Louisiana and again stayed at Fairview Riverside State Park. We stay there, because it is close to friends, who also spoil us rotten! We had a great time and hope to see yawl soon. Love you guys!
I have been posting a few photos from Fairview Riverside State Park and I have a few more to share, including my new bird sightings!
One evening we had dinner with Howard’s brother and our sister-in-law, who drove from Hobe Sound, Florida to visit with SIL’s family in Metairie. Remember we spent time visiting with them and family in Hobe Sound. We will see all of you very soon, with all our love!
We all met at a restaurant in Covington, Louisiana. Howard and Bob’s childhood friend and his family jointed us for dinner and we had a very enjoyable time visiting.
One morning we drove the 22 mile causeway over Lake Pontchartrain traveling, as they say, from the north shore to the south shore to the city of Metairie, which is near New Orleans. We went to visit with our 82 year old cousin. Joy is her name and she is a joy to be around.
As you can see we had a busy time and again our visit has come to an end. This morning we pulled out of Fairview Riverside State Park and pointed our nose west!!!
Goodbye Madisonville, Louisiana, we’ll be back!
We are slowly making our way home to Colorado, stopping along the way where ever we want, to enjoy birding, hiking, sightseeing and some more good eats!
We are staying a few days in Duson, Louisiana (can you say the cajun pronunciation of Duson). While here we will visit a state park in Abbeville, Louisiana to see if we would like to stop there on future trips through this area. We really love the State Parks!
Tomorrow night we plan to eat dinner at a restaurant near Lafayette, while a cajun band plays their unique style of music!
We have not decided on a specific route home.
We don’t have any firm plans beyond this point, except to visit some of the national wildlife areas near Beaumont, Texas, hoping to see some migrating birds.
Which way, which way shall we go?

We love you guys too, miss you and enjoy the time you are here. Be careful, drive safe and watch out for whatever lurks around. PS you missed a pic.lol
Thanks! Lots of love and hugs sent your way. Miss you too!
The hardest part of the nomadic life is saying goodbye to those we love….until we meet again. We enjoy meandering without reservations. It’s fun exploring new areas and staying longer at those we like or shorter for those we don’t. Happy trails!
Hi Ingrid, yes it is hard and I know you understand having to leave your children in two different places! However, it is with excitement and renewed energy we visit love ones again! Until next time! Hope you are having fun days.
It sounds like you had a glorious time with family and friends. Mississippi is a state we have yet to visit. Safe travels as you head west Sheila. 🙂
Hi LuAnn, yes we had a wonderful time visiting family and friends! We will miss them until next time! My parents were born and raised in Mississippi, but moved to New Orleans, where I grew up. Mississippi is a beautiful state and worth a visit. I hope you are enjoying your days, safe travels my friend! Thanks for always stopping by. I am behind in posting and commenting.
