Here we are in Kilgore Texas visiting the Carney's who moved here two years ago after retiring from Mt. Rainier. Our trip yesterday was pretty uneventful making good time.

Seen quite a few dogs, some puppies too, along the road way and wonder if they are ruminates from Katrina 5 years ago? Just realized we hadn't seen any tent caterpillars since Virginia until now in northern Louisiana. Stopped for a late breakfast at a small country dinner, Joe ordered oatmeal with brown sugar and the lady said, " we don't have any brown sugar only white sugar". Oh well. You can see that there has been a lot of rain in this area. Fields are covered with water and they haven't harvested to cotton yet because it's been so wet.
