Sikeston, MO

We stopped at Lambert’s RV park in Sikeston, MO yesterday and went to tne 5:00 Mass. we are going to spend an extra night here to have a relaxing Sunday.

Yesterday we stopped for lunch at a Mexican restaurant on highway 412 near Bells, TN. It was really good food and since I haven’t posted any food pictures for awhile, here is our lunch.

Filled us up with leftovers for later.

We went over to Lambert’s Cafe for supper. They are famous for “throwed rolls”. You order your entree and they they bring around fresh baked rolls that they toss for you to catch. They also bring around apple butter and sorghum to put on the rolls and fried potatoes with onions, macaroni with tomatoes, fried okra.

Carrollton, GA

I started this post almost 2 weeks ago so the first 2 paragraphs were written then in Carrollton, GA

We were originally going to leave Ordway at the end of March, but we decided to stay through Easter Sunday. After weeks of working out details, a man from the Virgin Islands purchased our old Jeep. We stayed a few more days after Easter waiting for his shipping company to make arrangements to pick up the Jeep for shipping to the Virgin Islands. Friday morning we got a phone call that he was on his way. 

We left Ordway after lunch and drove to Tifton, GA. and overnighted at the Wal Mart there. Towing the new Jeep went well, but we found out that our fresh water pump on the motor home had quit. That meant that we had no water for the sinks or toilet while traveling. Picked up some extra bottled water at Wal Mart and we were fine. Saturday, we drove the rest of the way to Little Tallapoosa Part where we stay at Carrollton. We have one of our favorite sites here and will be until a week from this Thursday. We have a new water pump ordered so hopefully we can have water again when we leave.

It is now Friday April 28 and we are overnighting at a Walmart in Corinth, MS. We drove from Carrollton to a Walmart in Gadsden, AL yesterday and from there to here today. We stopped at a little country restaurant on the road for lunch near Cullman, AL called Graves General Store and it was good. Mom liked the chicken and dumplings a lot, so the lady gave here a container of it to tale with her.
