Biloxi -- Day 3

Today was a lazy day. Got up in time to have breakfast with Cheryl and Steve before they left for their 12-hour drive back home to Sarasota, Florida. I was going to 1. find a church for Palm Sunday service, 2. tour the Jefferson Davis home, or 3. take a walk. But because I was tired from insufficient sleep and wasn't sure what time Joy (Cheryl's mom who lives in Mississippi) would be calling to arrange our day, I just lay around the room, writing post cards, doing a little reading, and occasionally dozing.

Once Joy and I touched base I was able to have some lunch, sitting outside by the pool, and doing some reading -- outside as well. I intend to enjoy the sun and pleasant weather. Who knows what will await me in Minnesota on my return tomorrow night?!


Spent the afternoon with Joy and Chuck at their beautiful home in Wiggins, about 35 miles from Biloxi.

The house is beautiful and filled with interesting things, including this actual old-fashioned slot machine. The house provides the nickels -- but also keeps the pots!

Since I haven't gone to any of the many casinos in Biloxi, this is as close to gambling as I've gotten!

We went out for dinner at the Olive Garden on the way returning me to the hotel. Joy had hoped we could go to Mary Mahoney's Old French House Restaurant, a well-known local restaurant with good food, but it wasn't open today so no luck.

The evening was about as lazy as the morning. Wrote this and went to bed reasonably early.
