June 26 - July 1, 2025
After our hot, long weekend in Tennessee, we headed to Alabama and Mississippi to visit friends and family. We were expecting even hotter and more humid weather, but we were surprised to find the weather to be slightly better. Guess that heat dome was moving on.
John and Becky near Mobile graciously allowed us to stay at their place, with full hookups too. As a bonus, T.C., a Navy buddy, also came over for the weekend. Both John and T.C. are former neighbors from King George. John even helped us build our huge "deckzilla." The guys had a great weekend catching up. Becky and I lost count of the "remember when..." stories.
About two hours up the road, we stopped near Hattiesburg to visit my cousin Sheila and her family. We enjoyed seeing their completed house. The last time we were through the area, the interior walls were just being framed. After a pizza supper with birthday pumpkin pie, we headed to the river for a quick run in the boat. The girls all went swimming with the birthday girl giving her new fishing rod a try.
