Hello out there..…how are you today? It’s good to be back visiting with you again.
You know that Deb and I took a trip…Vicksburg, Gulfport, and Mobile. We’d rented a motor home and set out last Sunday morning about 4:30. We left home and had basically no traffic until we’d gotten to almost Tallahassee.
We were like…man, this is just going TOO smoothly, especially on the last travel day of the Thanksgiving long weekend. Where in the world is all of the traffic we were anticipating? We just guessed most must have gone home on Saturday, or, so we thought.
But, about Tallahassee traffic began to get heavier…and heavier…AND HEAVIER! Still though, it was no problem. Everything was flowing smoothly, and there just weren’t any problems. Like I’d said earlier…things were going just too smoothly.
We did realize that we were heading right into rain, but we just kept watching the sky up in front of us for the clouds involved in the cold front that we knew was headed our way.
The front that we were headed towards, from what we’d seen prior to leaving, was simply a band of showers that you normally get with these coldfronts, a thin sliver of rain pushed along by the front itself. No problem! We’d just pullover at a rest area until the rain passed…two, three hours tops.
No sweat, we’d stop, grab a bite to eat, maybe rest up, then go on. This motor home traveling was, well… “the cat’s meow!” Why in the world had we not thought of doing this before now?
So, just as we’d planned, we kept watching the front get nearer, and we started gauging rest stop distances, and sure enough, JUST as it first started drizzling we were pulling off into a rest area…about 90 miles west of Pensacola, and…the Alabama line.
It was 12:00 our time, and 11:00 their time. We were making great headway, and I told Deb that if the rain blew through in the next hour or so, as we had anticipated, then shoot, we’d be in Vicksburg by 4 or 5 o’clock
We made a sandwich, walked Cheyenne before the rain started in earnest, then went back in, sat down, and relaxed for a while. Man, this RV traveling is ALRIGHT!

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
