John and I are packed and can't wait to leave Thursday morning. Should be there shortly after lunch.
Will wait until we get there to go to the boat.
Have arrived safe and sound, They were setting up the rides and the Tug area as we came through town. Son is out mowing the yard,getting ready for RNvic and son John's arrival tomarrow. Weather here is great, Am going to go out and gather walnuts, as they are falling from the trees.before the squirrels get them. LOL Son has 4 large walnut trees. Looking out the window at the ol Mississippi, it is calm and moving slow, Just watched a tug and long barge go by. Have to get out my camera.
Oh that sounds like a fantastic way to spend the day! I want to come and help you pick up walnuts...I would have to sit on a 5 gallon bucket though, LOL!!! To much bending for me. Sure wish he had pecan trees, I would be there for sure, LMAO!
You guys have a great time
Take lots of pics too please
Peach cobbler is ready to go in the oven , got to pick the garden before I leave and John has gone to have the car service done. Neighbor is going to take care of the cat (Buddy) and Dog (shadow) is going with us.
Well Rnvic and son John and dog shadow made it safely. We just finished dinner, (cook out) pork chops , sweet corn, Potatoes, green pepper, onion wrapped in foil on the grill, John is going fishing with my daughter in laws son, tonight we may head down to the Levee to see what is going on at the Tugfest. That is after the peach cobbler that Vic brought along. We will have some pictures later.
Oh I am soooo jealous, LOL...you guys have fun and don't forget to take pics!
My son and RNvic's son went down to the Levee last nite, We were going to go along and play Bingo and decided to go to the river boat instead, No luck, I lost $20.00 and Vic broke even, Then back and had Cobbler and down for the nite @12.00. Vic has Dialysis this afternoon here at a local hospital, but we are going to hit a couple of antique shops first.
We are having fun........
I'm sorry that I could'nt read this thread before today Tuffy. I saw about the Tug Feast on TV, Montel's show. They said about this year, they were replaced the old rope(20 yrs.old) with a new one, and they gave Montel an official piece of it, mounted in a nice glass covered frame.
Tell Vic and her son that I said Hi and enjoy yourselfs. Can't wait for pictures!
Love
Vickie
