April 29, 2014---Brent’s in Brandon, Mississippi


The sun was shining brightly this morning.  It was hard to believe just last night a tornado touched down less than a mile from Brent’s.  That was too close for comfort.

One last culinary adventure for Brent and me was to Cool Al’s.  Yes, that is the place where we stick to the floor.  However, their food is very good, especially the sweet potato fries.  And the hamburgers are top notch.

We stopped at CVS before returning home.  The kids got home from school not long after that.  

The sky got very dark late this afternoon and we had a little bit of rain, but nothing else developed.  We all breathed a sigh of relief when the rain stopped and the dark clouds went away.  Last night’s storm still has all of us a little spooked.

By request (from me) Brent smoked ribs for dinner.  They were so good and so were all the trimmings that went along with them.  And the great news is that Bill and I will have left overs for our trip northward.  We plan to pull out of here tomorrow morning.

Tonight, Sara had a project to do for school.  Grandpa and I were part of it.  She was making grilled peanut butter chocolate chip sandwiches.  That was a favorite for our kids growing up.  Brent was the official photographer, and we were Sara’s “lackeys.”  We also got to sample the finished project!  It was a fun thing for us to do with her.

Today, my friend, Debbie, suggested that I do a tornado count in my Travel Totals, so here goes...Tornado Totals, 1.  We are still at 14 for our In-N-Out count for 2014.  I certainly hope the swirling winds don’t pass our favorite hamburgers.
