Veterans Day parade, Biloxi

Today Rudy & Linda went with us to Biloxi's Veteran's Day parade. It lasted an hour & 15 minutes but much of that time was spent with many stops and delays, probably when they went by the reviewing stand. There were over 80 groups and military equipment. I believe that every high school in the area had an ROTC group in the parade. It was an excellent parade!

Sure wish this program would organize the pictures like I entered them!

Gaters & an air boat ride

Today we went with Rudy & Linda for an air boat ride to check out the gaters in there home. The ride was nice but could have lasted longer but we saw lots of alligators. It would be nice & relaxing to just sit for an hour or two in the swamp and quietly listen to the birds and animals while taking in the sites.

We went shrimping, caught some too

Since we have been here for the last week we have seen Jody & met her new husband Renato, who is a very nice guy that also knows how to cook. Jody will have to introduce him to everyone. Stay tuned for pictures!

Wednesday our friends Rudy & Linda arrived here for a week and today we took a short trip on a tour boat that shows and explains how shrimpers shrimp. They drag a chain in front of the net to "stir things up off the bottom" so they capture whatever is at or near the bottom.

It was another beautiful day and when the net was brought in you can see some of the critters that were captured.
