We got into Gulfport, Mississippi on Monday afternoon about 2. It is a pretty nice park. It has cable and internet and my phone works. woohoo! The weather is great, 60's during day and 40's during night. We had the door open today and yesterday. It was beautiful. We do have our Christmas tree up in the camper and our cards on display. Today we took a ride over to Ocean Springs and went to a campground at the State Park and looked around. Then we drove down 90 to the beaches. Alot of the area is still tore up due to Katrina. I guess it was so massive that it will be yearssssss before it is up and running. Probably at least 10 years to even compare at least a little to what it was before. It is sad cause it was so beautiful and the devestation was so enormous. Please stand in prayer with us for these people. Lord, bless them. We went to Winn Dixie and bought a few groceries for our Christmas dinner. Boy, it is sure expensive down here milks 4.00 a gallon, we pay 1.99 at home, eggs were 1.88 a dz. , Everything was about 2x's much. It is like they are gouging these poor people. They lost their jobs due to their places of employment were distroyed, lost their homes, and then the marketing gouges them. That is awful. Well, Dave & I paid 150.00 to stay here for a week and fully enjoy our holiday and get some much needed rest. I will try to post some pics, but the internet is slow here. We are gonna leave here Monday and go over to Lake Charles for a while . Looking forward to Cotton's (mmmmm)  and to some fresh cracklins. Well, we'll get more posted later. Love ya's and we'll see ya in Louisianna next time.
