Bay St Louis, MS


We've had a great couple of weeks to start the new year.  We're pretty much into the routine of Donna riding her bike with the Folks-on-Spokes and me walking.  We've gotten through the two weeks of almost continuous rain, and now we're into the normal temps being interrupted by lows below freezing every now & then.  Now we're into trying to get odd and end maintenance items done or repaired before we move on in March.

On Monday we drove over to Bill & Debra's for a visit.  Once again they took us down memory lane.  (We lived in Long Beach, MS from 1980-83.)   What we remember is getting less and less each year plus what we do remember was blown away during Hurricane Katrina. So it's all new to us.

It was good to see Bill & Debra and hear all their plans plus play with the dogs.  On this visit they took us over to Bay St Louis, MS for lunch.  Lunch was great.  I don't remember all that much of the Pass Christian-Bay St Louis area.  What little I do remember of it wasn't all that impressive.  They've done a nice job with the rebuild.  The new bridge is worth a drive down just to see.

So what do you do with a dead tree?  Carve it, of course!  (Top picture).  People have done this to the dead trees all along the Highway 90 in Mississippi.  Most of them are worth a trip just to see them.  The next picture is of the Bay St Louis beach area.  Never drove thought this part when we lived down here.  They've done a nice job of rebuilding the whole area which they've done in a true beach mode.  I'd post a picture of the bridge, but the ones I took weren't all that great.

So that's it from us.  Everyone take care.  Later, David
