We made it to LaPlace

Our trip down the state was a wild and bumpy ride. The roads were really in need of improvement. Phil's boat trailer has to have some improvements made on it. A couple of times Phil had to adjust the boat back into place on the trailer. The rubber roller is totally gone and has to be replace and that was a brand new roller. The boat needs some fiber glass work on it now.

Once again we didn't end up at the park where we had planned on staying at. We spent over four hours looking for it. Finally decided to go back up to LaPlace and leave the New Orleans area behind us. We did not like the heavy negative energy there anyway. Later we found out that trailers are known to be broken into at that park (not good). So once again angels were watching out for us. We can not afford to replace all our stuff inside the trailer and we would have to leave it unattended for long periods in order to visit with Jim. Our night was spent sleeping in the truck at a truck stop in LaPlace. That wasn't all that bad except for no pillows, trucks running and reveing up the engines, staying curled up in a ball, and waking up every forty minutes or so. But we survived lol.

Jim helped find us a decent RV park to spend the week here in LaPlace. By the way, it is pronounced as La Plaz. Really a nice town. Much bigger then I imagined. After we got our trailer set up, a bath, and the dogs taken care of we met up with Jim again.  He treated us to the local cuisine of boiled crawfish and shrimp at a place called "The Crab Trap".  We dined on the patio overlooking the beach...nice. It was great to  reminisce old times and catch up with the new. His lady friend (Dorothy) and I hit it off right off immediately. Due to glaucoma she lost her eyesight but not her mind and personality. She is a great match for Jim. The love between them shows and that is a good thing. Jim has made a good life for himself here and he is well liked by those that know him.

We found the local walmart last night and restocked the pantry and supplies, plus an outside rug and small couch pillows for sleeping in the truck. Don't want to make that mistake again. But hey, we are learning fast lol.

I will take pictures to post for your viewing starting today. I'm sorry but I was just too tired yesterday. Phil is setting up the outside, dog fence, awning, and etc. I am still working at trying to get the inside set up. We are expecting this to be a rainy day later. So off  I go to get the chores out of the way for the day even if I am going in circles...
