Awake: 7:03am Temp 65 sleep 7+41 overcast overnight @ West Memphis, AR.
We drive to East Memphis & ride past our 1st house on Knollwood Drive just off of Estate. We lived here for 5 years and rented this house out for over 20 yrs before selling it to a neighbor’s son whose parents lived just across the street. This place also looks very good.
Next we visit the Costco store on Hacks Cross Road where I top off the Suzuki’s fuel tank paying $ 2.69 per gallon & then we both do some light grocery shopping inside the Costco store.
Next I make a deal with Kathy. Since she donated a lot of her clothes to a thrift store in Miami, we visit two of her ole favorite thrift stores on Summer Ave to begin the restocking process: the (DAV) Disabled American Veterans & the Mid-South Outlet. Amazingly enough, Kathy found no clothes of interest but I bought (1) like new shirt. We are back to our campground by 4:45pm.
Shortly after we arrive at our motorhome, Jack S. calls: he & Trish will visit us early evening. “That will be great!” I tell him.
Meanwhile, Gary J. calls from eastern PA. Mostly we discuss motorhome travels & their progress on the Madonna statue. I had to break off our conversation when Jack & Trish arrived & try to help Jack possibly get Trish into our motorhome. But she is unable to climb the few stairsteps we have due to the extent of her osteoporosis. Instead, we all sit outside on the picnic bench & our camping chairs, talk for more than an hr updating each other on “what’s been happening?”
As dusk slowly arrives over the mighty Mississippi & our campground, we decide to accompany Jack & Trish to the midtown restaurant, “Bosco’s Square,” where K & I share a pizza & we each have a micro-brew stout beer. Jack’s Toyota auto works well for Trish; she is able to drive it & can easily store her walker in the rear of the car using the remote control for the sliding doors & rear door. Jack drives us back to our campground & we thank him & Trish very much for the visit. It was also great catching up on a lot of the retired pilots & what those guys are doing now.
