TRAVELS

since I posted if I remember right we have been in lots of places..we had a good visit with steve white and ginger  & Melissa....


we ended up in gulf shore state park for a couple of  days doing odd jobs on the rig and  laundry-shopping-etc...most of the time catching up on adds and ends that have needed to be done...


then on the lousiana for only a couple of days traveling thru..wanted to spend more time but we do have a schedule..yesterday on the other side of baton rouge, la we came to a stop due to an accident on the interstate so we pretty much came to a hault..the fastest we went for an hour and half was 10 mph...we wanted o know what was gong on so we hooked up the cb radio...that was an accident where an tractor trailer went off the road and hit a tree... and yes indeed it hit a  tree and it went right thru the cab of it...we had heard on the cb that the driver walked away and we sure hope so but by the look at the truck you'd never know why except that if so the good lard was looking out for him...we heard that the back up was at least 15 miles long..and we believe it..so we pulled into the campground we were headed to  after 6pm...so it was a long day..


today we are now outside dallas by about 150 miles and tomorrows plan is to move on to a campground for a few days so we can go to the George bush library and to the dealey plaza where john kennedy was shot......

so all's well with us except for some reason I can't post pictures...oh well...life is good

UPDATE

as you read what lar posted for some reason we are having some sorta of problem with pictures..yo mem or Christine got any ideas????


we have visited the jimmy carter center/library very simple and not flashy but tells the story about jimmy a very humble man..we of course learnt stuff we hadn't know before jimmy and if we did we had forgotten..there was a very small picture of his involvement in habitat...


after visiting with jimmy we went to the martin luther national historic site.. when we arrived there was also 3 tour buses that had just unloaded so the small place  was very full..they went into watch the movie and there was no room for even a couple more people so we waited they were done then we watched it...it is a small building  but there are also other building scattered around that are part of it...we got a stamp so that was good..


then we headed to bneua vista, ga to visit steve,ginger and Melissa...sat was a laid back day as  there were tornado.s  watch/warning in the area and we had very heavy rain and high winds that caused waves on the pond..the football team of the local school won the state championship in their class of school and Melissa was a cheerleader so we had lots of football talk..on Monday there was a congrats pep rally at school at 9:30 we  attended that before getting on the road...it was fun..ginger is also a member of the school board..so it was an exciting event for the whole community..


this is just s highlight of what we have been up-to in the last few days...

whats up?

T has encountered a problem since we left home...she tries to add pictures to her blog and when she attempts to send them nothing happens!!! entries she places on the blog will appear on the blog after she sends them, any entry with a picture added will just disappear into outter space or into the cloud or who knows where.....Hence some of the tests you have noted are tests of the original computer dummie (see computers for dummies vol one (1)).....and HE cnnot decipher the problem  or even understand the problem.....HENCE you may see entries with NO pictures.....yu may see no entries because pictures have been added and they have disappeared....OR you may see no entries because no entries have been made...(duhhh!)

FYI

THIS IS LAR POSTING A TEST

OK IM POSTING WITHOUT A PICTURE
