At some point today, it occured to me that my posts would always have a title that was one day ahead of the content if I always post at night after arriving in a new destination. So, instead of calling this post Vicksburg, MS<\/a> (where we are), instead I will call it West Point, MS (where we were today).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, we weren’t only in West Point, we were also in Columbus (at Mississippi University for Women<\/a>), in Starkville <\/a>(at Mississippi State<\/a>), in Tupelo <\/a>(at the house where Elvis Presley was born<\/a>), and in a very small town to see some amazing people that I am semi-related to. For their privacy I will not name them, but they make the most amazing carmel cake, so if you know the World Champion Carmel Cake Maker, that’s her. We just call her Puddin’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spent more time than we expected sampling the carmel cake, so we didn’t arrive in Vicksburg until late, however, we will be here for 2 days so hopefully will be able to squeeze everything in. My family has a history with the Shirley House<\/a> which is on the Vicksburg National Military park<\/a>, so we will tour that area tomorrow. I’m also hoping to eat at Walnut Hills<\/a>, a fabulous restaurant that my grandmother was a big fan of. And, of course, we will try to have some catfish, though the place we went in my youth has closed down now. We shall try to find a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, that is all I have to say, except . . . I’m incredibly thankful to have wonderful people in my life. Even if I don’t get to see them as often as I would like, it’s good to know that they are there. Thanks to everyone that I will get to see and to those I recently was able to catch up with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ciao for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
