Eddie, heading your way

[Trav]

Eddie,

I will be heading out Friday around noon with a friend for Mendehall, Mississippi for a long weekend. We are delivering his fathers car to his brother. It will be my first trip to Mississippi so I kind of excited. May go kill a turkey if we have some extra time.

You will NOT be disappointed....we are friendly folks....Mendenhall is a couple of hours south of me....nice laid-back sorta town.

Do yourself a favor, and take the short trip up to Florence, MS, and load up with some "Country Pleasing Sausage"....they may have it in the stores in Mendenhall, too....best day'um sausage ever made!!! http://www.countrymeatpackers.com

Have a safe trip, and ya'll come back, ya hear!!! ;)

Stay away from the big funeral there, though.

Huh???....here are the last 20 deaths in Mendenhall....I don't recognize anyone who warrants a "big funeral".

Theodoria Landing??? Sounds like a good spot for a bait shop and a boat ramp. ;)

Saw on news where some Miss. Congresswoman shot herself there............or some such.

[Big Muddy]

Yes, Representative Jessica Upshaw....53 year old former attorney....actually, a resident and representative from the MS gulf coast....not from Mendenhall, however, so I doubt if the funeral will be held there....the suicide did actually occur at a colleague's home in Mendenhall....lots of unanswered questions, and officials are still investigating.

Appears to be a happy stable lady, but you never know.
