22-31OCT14 - Houma, LA (via toomsuba, ms; celebrating a birthday & halloween)

Wednesday, 22OCT, Tiffin finished working on the dash AC before lunch; so we immediately paid our bill & hit the road.  The dash AC worked great for an hour & then nothing!#@!  Rather than drive into night, we drove to an out of the way (& we mean out of the way) KOA outside of Meridian, MS, (Toomsuba, MS, really).  KOA has a really bad habit of naming their location for the nearest location most people would recognize, but the actual location is miles away!  That evening Corrie discovered our Tiffin bill charged us for parts that were not installed?

Thursday finished drive to our daughter Rebecca & husband Raymond’s driveway in Houma, LA.  During the drive we corrected the Tiffin bill over the cell phone.  Unfortunately, no joy on the dash AC.  That evening our son Joe & Tasha came by for a family dinner.

Friday evening Oma, Opa, Rebecca, Jaxson & Mason headed to Thibodaux for a Halloween Festival supporting the local police & fireman (way too many people!).

Saturday (Corrie’s birthday), 25OCT, Rebecca, Jaxson, Mason & us headed to Larose, LA, for the French Food Festival.  In our opinion it should be called the Cajun Fried Food Festival.  Anyone coming to the festival to find cuisine from France based on the festival’s title would be very disappointed!  Since daddy Raymond working just down the road from the festival he was able to meets us for lunch.  Then at 1800 everyone (including Joe & Tasha) met at Ichiban for Japanese birthday dinner.  Followed by stopping by Cherry Blossom Yogurt for dessert (they charge by the weight of your container).

The rest of the month was spent not doing much other than running errands; Corrie starting xmas shopping; starting our annual medical & dental appointments; family dinners; & getting ready for Halloween.
