I spent the morning packing my suitcase for the trip tomorrow. I got worried about the weight but it was around 40 lbs if my scales are accurate. Packing for a week takes a lot of thought, particularly when you are in spring weather and it’s cold at night and warm during the day. In a worse case scenario, I could purchase what I need in Jackson.
Of course, the Jackson newspaper reported that Sunday there would be 60-70 mph winds and storms. Fortunately, they arrive in the afternoon and I arrive in the morning. There’s a stop in Atlanta and then to Jackson.
Yesterday evening, Jim, Holley and I caught up over dinner at Kaluz in Plantation. This was a new experience for me and the yellowtail snapper I had was outstanding. I forget how good that fish tastes and I don’t order it enough.
Today, I’m washing clothes, finishing packing my shoulder bag full of charge cords, and closing up the house for the week.
My flight leaves at 6:30 am and my Uber arrives at 4:30 am. That means I’ll get up about 3:30 am. No sleep for me tonight. I’ll lie awake and overthink things.
Today, John and I are treating Joel to a birthday lunch at Season’s 52. It’s not quite as good food as the first time I ate there back in the 80’s but it’ll do.
On the trip, I’ll be staying with my cousin Jean and her husband Roger and visiting my niece, nephews, brother and sister-in-law. On the 27th, I’ll visit with my other side of the family cousins in Frogtown. Yes, that’s a name and no, it’s not incorporated. Let’s just say it’s a subdivision of Pulaski, MS.
Stay tuned!
