Today is my last day of work before the road trip with Angie to Natchitoches! She and I are going to eat at King's Tavern for dinner this evening (it's the oldest building in Mississippi and is supposedly haunted by the ghost of a lady who was killed there back in the day), then we're going to watch the movie "Steel Magnolias," which was partly filmed in Natchitoches. Then tomorrow we'll get up and drive 2.5 hours across Louisiana and will visit various sites including the Louisiana Alligator Park! It will be soooo much fun! I used some birthday money and bought a GPS navigator for my car, which I have been thinking would be nice to have, so now Angie and I will surely not get lost. So, I probably won't post anything for the next couple of days, but on Friday I'll be sure to catch everyone up on the trip--and I'll for sure have some good pictures.
Yesterday afternoon something funny happened--I was scheduled to give the 4:00 tour, but the people who had bought tickets at 3:40 didn't show up on the front porch at 4. So, I was walking around the grounds trying to find them, but they were nowhere in sight. Finally at about 4:25 I gave up, but then Angie and I saw them walking towards the house from the parking lot. I went out there, and they said that the ranger told them the tour started at 4:30 (which I knew wasn't true because I heard Angie sell them their tickets and tell them that the tour would be in 20 minutes at 4:00). Anyway, we only had time for a quick run-through, but I think we hit all of the highlights. Well, I'm off to tend the visitor center, then I'm going to take pictures of the Southern belle hoop skirt dresses upstairs this afternoon. I hope that everyone has a happy 4th of July, and I'll let you know how things go in Natchitoches!
