I didn’t make yesterday’s post. It turned out to be quite the day. I reunited with Jean, Roger, Jimmie and Stephen and later met Jean and Roger’s son Kevin and his son Liam. Stephen treated us to lunch at Ichiban in Flowood. After a tour of Kevin’s home, I headed to Archie and Tanis’ house in Brandon.
There was a family emergency there and Tanis’ son, David, and I tried to help as best we could. The next day, the emergency situation got worse. Tanis ended up in the emergency room at St. Dominix and it was around 10 pm when we got her back home.
Today I found her to be much better and I treated them to lunch at a local restaurant in the square in Brandon. It’s been an emotional experience and isn’t over yet. Let’s just say aging is not an easy process: for me, my brother, and my sister-in-law.
After our lunch, I headed to the cemetery in Morton to take some photos of family gravestones and then headed to the park where I went back to bed. Tanis has a doctor’s appointment on Monday and I need to take my jeep into the Jeep dealership in Flowood and get it checked for the “check engine” light.
I’m not sure how many days I’ll stay in Mississippi to try to help David with Archie and Tanis. As soon as I know, I’ll post the info. The next few post may be very brief.
