Sunny Day

We did get to 4 or 5 antique shops. No silver worth buying. But I bought a cook book-- on vegetables and a brass mouse. The best stop was at the Ellis Pecan Store. Oh, my!. Goodies
Chocolate, light and dark, over pecans, peanuts, and almonds. Home made ice cream. Roasted pecans. Made me think of the pecans at Thornburgs and at home. We bought some dark chocolate covered pecans, some pecans rolls to take home, and some post cards. I do have some pecans in the freezer. It was hard not to buy more. Gooood.

The grass is getting greener and the road crews are out mowing. Even in Northern Florida.
Redbud and Dogwood are in bloom here and I saw some daffodils. 76 degrees at 7:45 pm at Cordele, Georgia. spring has sprung here. Nice to see, and I know the further north we go the colder it will be. Oh, no.

We drove up to Perry, to check out the local Walmart to see if we could park there if we did not find a spot to stop on Thurs. night. And guess who was there? Ed and Dorothy. We took Ed to the Verizon store, he needed something for his phone. He had his car, but he was still hooked up
and so we offered a ride.

We stopped at a little grocery that is located just outside the park. Striplings. They have home made sausage, jelly, and saw several items that had their name on it. The owner cuts his own meats. The jelly is Wild Mayhaw jelly. A gentleman in the store saw Ernie's CAT hat and ask if he worked for CAT. No, but-----------and you know what happened next. Talk. Anyway. the man told us the sausage was excellent, best cooked on the grill. He preferred the hot jalapeno. We got the mild. And it is good. We were about thru shopping and looking around when he came up and said this jelly (the MayHaw Jelly) is good on your biscuits in the morning. (I didn't tell him I do not fix biscuits in the morning. ) Native grown berry, just a small round little berry, but makes great jelly with just a little bite. so we bought some of that too. We like checking out local stores for different things to eat. It is good jelly and did not really notice a bite. Maybe a little sting after it had gone down, but you had to think about it.

We had called Jerry and Ross about coming in a day early. Both commented we could try it, but that we might be told to go to Will Call or Wal Mart

After we got home we got a call from Diane asking the name of the campground that we did not like. She had been talking with Jerry and Jerry had told her that we were not happy with a campground. Ernie told her the name and she was relieved, it was not the campground where they had just made reservations near Perry today. So we checked out that campground and now have a place to stay before going to the convention.

Ernie is on the phone with Don. Thursday we move to the other campground. Have a good day.
