More rain all afternoon. We did get out for lunch yesterday, and a trip to the Piggly Wiggly for a few groceries. While out we stopped at Mama Lou's for lunch. It was a very causal buffet. The food was good. If we run out of new places we would go back.
Thursday
Last nights low was 33 degrees. We had bright sunshine and a high of 55 today.
After breakfast I walked 3 "laps" around the campground's outer roadways, 4.1 miles, for some exercise. Kathy did more cleaning while I was gone.
Around noon we headed out for some sightseeing in Foley, AL. Foley is a small town a few miles from us. We hit the visitors center and then spent some time at a "medical museum". The medical museum had been the Doctor's office, and a small hospital, many years ago. Because there was no other convenient hospital, you had to cross the river, sometimes in a boat, to get to the hospital in Mobile. The local Doctor expanded his office to include rooms for use as a hospital.
We had lunch at the Fish Shack, another casual dining establishment. We had a feast. Kathy had oysters and shrimp and I had catfish, for our main courses. The meal started with a small cup of "swamp gumbo". It was good but, me not being much of a seafood person, it was not something I would order. Sides with the meal were French fries, fried okra, cole slaw and great hush puppies. As we finished the waitress brought us small pieces of chocolate cake, with white frosting, Kathy's favorite cake.
The old phone booth and superman suit at the front of the restaurant was an interesting touch.
After lunch we went to an outlet mall (whoopee). While Kathy shopped I sat on a comfortable bench in a pleasant "square", and enjoyed the great sunshine. We were only there for less than an hour. It was a large place, I bet our granddaughter could have spent two days there, perhaps longer <grin>.
Back home at the campground we sat in the sun a little more and then a nap seemed a great idea. While I napped Kathy did a couple of loads of laundry, a woman's work is never done.
The campground is great. The campsites are huge. The only thing that I've noted that could make it better would be if the pool was heated and if they had a hot tub. I could care less about either, but Kathy would use them if they were available. (None of the campgrounds I checked on, prior to making reservations, had a heated pool.)
Tonight's low supposed to be 32, but it is supposed to be a sunny 62 tomorrow. Exploring Mobile is on the agenda for tomorrow.
May God bless you and yours.
