Our vacation starts with a BIG BANG......

Hi friends... Well, you have heard of the TV program called The Big Bang?... the Thomas' started out their vacation with their own...
We were just on the road three hours, tooling along with our favorite Elvis songs playing, enjoying the beautiful day and BOOM.  We looked at each other, saying at the same time "oh geeze".  We both knew what it was.  No mystery with that kind of sound.  Jim pulled over, immediately, jumped out, and confirmed our worry.  Yep, flat as a pancake.  But, as always, we knew how worse it could have been , if not for our Father's hand upon us.  Nothing was tore up under the camper, and we hit nothing else before coming to a stop. A call to On Star, and our insurance, and within a hour, we had not one, but two trucks there to change the tire, and we were on our way!  Whew what a way to start our vacation, isn't it?



We are in Mississippi this evening.  Lovely campground, and lots to see and visit tomorrow.  We both enjoy visiting historical places, and there are lot of that here in Vicksburg.  Will send along pictures in our next blog.  It seems to be more and more difficult to find camping places that have Internet services , so at these times we pack up our computers and head off to the library.  We enjoy visiting all the diff rent libraries in the towns we visit.  Loving books as we do, it is usually a day long experience.

Till then ..  take care now.. and our usual message  "Walk softly"....
