Yesterday morning was my day to plan....and I did plan it boy oh boy am to pm it was planned baby:) This trip has been a great lesson on how to sit on my hands and enjoy other peoples ideas and planning but this day was mine and I had something to prove (Don't you just know God was watching with a smile..) I was certain this would be the best leg of our whole trip I knew what we would eat ...Cajun food .... i was excited about our 40 priceline Hilton Hotel room.....I knew we would spend the day poking around recreated village called Vermillianville then off for a swamp tour that would answer all of our swampish questions.....hit the road listening to Zydeco music..... excited by the trip I had planned and I was certain every other day would pale in comparison .
so to help you understand our days are more like the Jewish day sundown to sundown so for my planning purposes that is how I scheduled...
After our drive we were exhausted and hungry....We opted to pick-up food and take it up to what I was sure to be one LUX hotel.....I was having the cranky tummy blues so we decided to enjoy the "safe" food at Outback steak house and their curbside service.
Salad for me fish for mom and mac and cheese for the boy....
we found our very un-lux hotel with its dirty room and smelly lobby.....Harley was great he had a bed and the room did not have a bath tub so he was in heven.....Mom loved her food but my salad was not wilted but the point just past wilted... almost liquid lettuce you know the stuff the sits in the fridge until it gets thrown out......I kept thinking I could eat around it.....YUCK.
so after I did the cockroach stop around the room....we tucked in for the night....I was happy to know that the sun would rise on a perfect day......Pride comes before the fall as God and my Mother says:)
As we were packing up and getting ready my mother noticed that vermilionville was not NOT open on Mondays ......what you are kidding me .....this stinks why why why......arg allot of really bad attitude thoughts latter I said no worries lets just get going and see about out swamp tour..... and breakfast.....okay so you get the idea .....it was a silly exercise in planning because we never got breakfast and we were to late for our swamp tour......all my planning shot to heck.....lesson learned thank the Lord.....after I dumped all my plans on to the very soft earth ....We had a day unfold around us that was lovely.

Ok...I wrote this totally funny comment about planning and it disappeared!! This is why it took me almost a week to even figure out how to become your "follower". (I mean...despite the struggle in my soul about solely being a follower of Christ;-) Technology and I are not friends. I'm so glad that things are going well on your trip and as I said in my earlier comment failure...not planning is all well and good on occasion, but we both know that sooner or later it's going to rain and who is the one that will be in trouble for not telling the other's to plan for rain? US!!!-0

P.S. I'm sorry that I won't get to see your pic's of the moss and the plantation. Maybe it's time to make a plan to empty your memory card;-) Hee...hee...hee...
