Dinner with Family, 10 Penny & Sockey the Outlaw Monkey!

We started putting things away today to get everything travel ready for tomorrow. John made a run to Lowe’s for some wire connectors and also purchased a large cooler that will sit inside the truck. We also purchased a shower caddy from Bed, Bath and Beyond. The shower in our new RV has a different type of door closure and our old shower caddy would not work. We have searched for days for something and finally we found it. Yeah!!! Isn’t funny how something so small can make your day. LOL

Since today will be our last day in MS for a while plans were made to go to Annie and Terry’s for a cookout. Our menu included baked potatoes, grilled chicken, corn on the cob, green beans, rolls and Marcy’s banana pudding. After dinner it was time to play 10 Penny. Everyone played except Terry. He was busy entertaining the dogs. We brought Fred along with us and he loves to play with Terry. As we began round three of 10 Penny we heard a commotion coming from the kitchen. It seems Terry had corned the “outlaw” Sock Monkey. It seems there was a reward out for Sockey. When confronted with the gun Sockey gave up. LOL

Yes, that is a real gun. Terry has several. This one Annie refers to as the elephant gun.

Back to the 10 Penny game. John won and Mom and I came in last.

Dad wondering how he drew this crappy hand.

008

By the next round he had a winning hand.

009

Mom closed her eyes because she just could not look at her losing hand. LOL

011

Annie was shocked that she could not make a play for two rounds.

012

John making his winning play.

After the first 10 Penny game John retired to the living room with Terry and Annie decide to crochet and watch Mom, Dad and I play one more game.

015

This game ended in a three way tie. That has never happened before.

By the time this game ended it was getting close to 10:00 p.m. so we called it a night. Tomorrow will be a travel day for us. Our next destination will be Canton, TX.

Laugh everyday. Happy trails. Stay safe.
