3:00pm: Picked Anthony (Greg's brother) up at the Shreveport airport (he drove a rental car up from Houston and turned it in here). Drove to Eldorado AR and arrived at the rehab facility where their step-mom Jodie is staying for a short time. (Got there at 5pm). Step-brother Barry, and step-sister Nan, were there. It was a surprise to Nan that we all were coming, but a big surprise to Jodie that Anthony was there (she knew that Greg and Dona were coming). We spent about an hour visiting. Had dinner at Mel's Seafood just down the road from rehab. Greg and Anthony had seafood gumbo and Dona had shrimp e'tofee'. Very tasty. We parked the RV at the Gator Den RV Park. The owner wasn't around but over the phone he told us to park in an empty spot and he would catch up with us later to collect the fee.

Oh my gosh, did it ever get cold over night!!! Anthony slept on the pull out couch that has a blow-up mattress, and only a sheet and thin blanket. The heat was turned down kind of low so he nearly froze to death during the night. It was 24 degrees at 8am. We did NOT go for a run. We went to the rehab center for a short visit then to Barry's for Thanksgiving lunch. His wife Karen and daughter Janda, and son Jarred cooked up a feast.... good southern-home-made feast!!!! With 3 kinds of pie.....I was in heaven!!!!! I did limit myself to just a piece of coconut cream.....but the pecan and the chocolate pudding pie were tempting as well. It did warm up to 50 by 2pm and very sunny. It was a beautiful day. We went back to the rehab center at 3:30 and was back at the RV by 6:30pm. We ate a very light supper: McDonald's chicken salad. Perfect for a Thanksgiving night after eating all we ate at lunch!

Cold again last night, but Anthony bundled up and didn't pull the couch out, he just slept on the cushions. We were at the rehab by 9:30 for a morning visit then off to Houston at 11:00 to get Anthony back to catch a flight on Saturday.
