Days 115 & 116 - Wednesday & Thursday, March 27 & 28 - West Memphis, AR

 Wednesday - Kathy, Kelsey, Lydia & Nolan went to the Memphis Zoo for the day. They had a great time. I stayed at the coach. I stayed home and went grocery shopping. Well...I had instructions to get milk, eggs and see if I could find more Eckrich Smok-Y Links. Original, not the fake Lil Smokies, Smok-Y Links are a breakfast treat that I have enjoyed since I was a kid in Michigan. Sadly, there aren't that many places where you can still buy them. I tried both Kroger & Wal-Mart stores in West Memphis with no success.  

Thursday - The original plan was for Kelsey to return home today while the kids rode home with us, over two days. That plan changed during Tuesday(?) nights heavy rain in West Memphis. The new seals on our dining room slide still leaked. They were replaced when we were at Lakeshore (Iuka, MS) a few days ago. We did not notice them leaking during an all afternoon rain while in Corinth, MS, but the heavy rain and 20-25 mph winds caused them to leak. 

We decided that I would go back to Lakeshore and Kathy would ride back to Centertown with Kelsey and the kids. They left this morning and made it back home okay, after some traffic delays. My solo 140 mile trip back to Iuka went fine. It may be the furthest I've driven this coach in one day. It's tough being old and thinking a 140 mile solo trip is an achievement 😀 In the fall of 2012 I drove our Dutch Star over 700 miles to near Hearne, TX (Messiah's Ranch - I spent 6 weeks there volunteering) in two days. I did almost 500 miles the first day, pushing to make my way into Texas on the first day.

Parked near Lakeshore Custom RV


My appointment is scheduled for Tuesday, April 2nd. 

God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
