Memphis

At Shady Acres we met some really nice people from Michigan.
They are retired GM employees and are wintering in South Mississippi. It is toooooo cold in the Flint area in the winter.
Every afternoon, we would gather with Ben, Deb, Ed & Jonnie & some other couples in the small rally hall and laundry. We would chat and some one or other would bring goodies and we just had a good time.
Last Friday we went out to a fish place to eat. They are only open 3pm to 9pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The food was good, but I thought it was pricey. There was plenty to eat and the service was excellent. And the company was great.
Monday, The four of them went to a casino in the area and the 2 ladies won big. We all met later and went to a pizza buffet. There was other food other than pizza, like salads and red beans and rice & gumbo. Again the food was great and there was plenty, but the prices were also good. Brenda and I ate for less than $10 as we had a BOGO coupon.
There was 12 of us and each couple had a bogo coupon, so I don't think they made much money off of us. The place was packed and had a big turnover, so that made up some.

We left for Memphis about 8:30 am on Tuesday. It was windy and it rained heavily from Jackson to Granada, where we spent the night. Frog Hollow is a nice overnight park, but too close the freeway.
It got really windy and cold, but the rain stopped.

We arrived at Mike's house before noon and got set up. It is cold here, but no precipitation, yet.
We are supposed to have some snow, sleet and freezing rain over the next few days, so we will see how things go.
I don't think it got above freezing here yesterday, but there was sun so I didn't think it was too bad.
It could be worse, we could be in Chicago or Dallas.

Mike took us out to dinner last night to Macaroni Grill,  as a welcome. Barb joined us and we had a great dinner.

Mike has ordered in several flats of grass plugs for the nursery. Some should arrive this week and some next week. We will be busy planting up these plugs over the next several days.
Mike and I work 3 days a week and 3 others, Jennifer, Alan & Ann work one day a week. They all have full time jobs elsewhere and their help is definitely appreciated.
We hope our early arrival this year produces some good results at our trade shows.

Ta ta for now.
