44 and 50 years later

.    Biloxi, Mississippi and Keesler AFB here in Biloxi were stops on our life's journeys in years past.  I was stationed here in 1966/67 for close to a year and a half and 6 years later Beverly and I honeymooned in this same area, from New Orleans to Biloxi to Mobile, Al. in 1972.  We're thinking about trying to capture a few pictures of us in some of the same locations that I have pictures from 1972.  So far after taking a quick ride last evening it may be tough locating some of the same locations, there have been a lot of changes over that many years......besides the hurricans that have taken tolls in these areas.  There still is a lot to see and do in the area, there just might not be as much "beach time" due to the lack of sun and that will not make Beverly happy.  Bev can sit on the beach reading a book and enjoying the veiw for hours, as for me.....it's a get your toes wet in the ocean/gulf, dry off and to try your damndest to get all the sand off before getting in the car!!  That's the chocolate and vanilla effect.
     This morning it shopping time, we have a list of a number of items we need for around the home and to replenish the fridge a bit.  Sounds like a Wal-Mart day to fill everything in one stop.....or similar store of the area.
     Motor home has been performing very well, and we can't complain too much about gas prices.  When you get on average 7 mpg you really appreciate these prices we've been seeing as we go south, last couple of fill ups have been $1.84/gal.....$1.90/gal......and $1.95/gal......we like it.
     Rain has let up now (8:05am) and Bev will be wrapping up some work so we can get out and about around 10:00am, we'll give a shot at trying to somewhat acclumate ourselves with the area a bit more once again.  Adventures abound and we'll report you can be sure!  Just looked at the calendar, hard to believe we've been on the road a month and two days so far, the time has just flew by.  This just might be a 4 month trip for sure or at least!
