I left Friday morning for the 500 mile drive to Wolf Lake and Park & Cindy''s house near Yazoo City, Mississippi. It is a long day but I made it with no problems. We went to P-Reaux's for a great supper at a unique place. I had a dozen oysters on the half-shel and boiled crawfish (all I could eat). This hole-in-the-wall place does them as well as I've ever had and I used to live in New Orleans.

| Cindy and I shared 3 pounds of crawfish. We didn't finish it all. |
 |
| We also shared 2 dozen oysters. I think I had more than my share! |

| Park & Cindy at P-Reaux's. It is a real neighborhood place and they knew almost everyone. They are Friday night regulars. |
Saturday was a restful day, just hanging out around the house. Late in the afternoon, we went to a neighbors for a crawfish boil. More regional goodness and good company.

Sunday morning after breakfast, I said goodbye to Park and Cindy and made my way to Melanies, traveling part of the way on the Natchez Trace. Melanie and I went out for lunch at her favorite Mexican restaurant. Late in the afternoon, we went to Brenda's for supper. Melanie did not spend the night, but I did.
I picked up Melanie on Monday morning and we made the long drive back to Tennessee. She will spend the week with me.
