Yesterday, after the walk, we visited the office of the local Habitat affiliate. We met Freddy Rasberry, the executive director and Peggy Branch, assistant executive director.
This affiliate has built 47 houses and have been helped tremendously by the students of Mississippi State University. We posed for a photo holding our Coast to Coast banner, said our good-byes and were off to Wal-Mart to buy a new camera. Our old one just doesn't take good pictures anymore.
Today, Ruth took us out and deposited us somewhere along the highway. We're off for another 12 mile adventure. Before long we came to the small town of Mathison.
We stopped at the Shell station there and after using the facilities, we asked the guy behind the counter if he had any ice cream and to our dismay he said he did not. We were both very disappointed. I just walked out, but it didn't stop John from buying a bag of pork skins. People handle bad news different ways.
Up ahead we spotted a very large and beautiful black and yellow spider. That's kinda like calling a snake beautiful. Can anyone tell us the name of this spider?
Every since we started walking from Winona, about 6 to 8 tractor trailer rigs pass us each day with half a house, the other half not far behind. Our theory is that there is a manufactured house factory near by.
On we walked until we came to a sign that said, "Sansing, meat service, salvage groc. and sod farm. How handy." I'll take a pound of hamburger and Oh yes, a pallet of Zoysia sod."
Today we found a 3/8 socket and .31 cents. Stay tuned ...
