Up this morning and started putting things together to take home. Leaving here around 11:00. Should be home by 2:00. It’s a beautiful, sunny day.

A cloudy, drizzily morning. We left Tupelo around 10:30 and by the time we got to Memphis the clouds cleared away and it turned out to be a beautiful day. Driving Rt. 78 from Birmingham took us through some really pretty areas in rural Alabama and Mississippi. And it was a good road except for the areas where it’s not yet finished—even though it’s a limited access highway. And we approached Memphis from a totally different direction than I’m used to. We went through Olive Branch, Mississippi, which is the prettiest little town. After getting through Memphis we stopped at a rest area and I started driving. Had dinner and gassed up at a Flying J south of Sikeston. Pulled into the KOA in Perryville at 6:00. Long day.
