Sherri was not feeling well yesterday and today she is not much better…so we decided today would be doctor day. She gets a sinus infection at least once a year and this was the time of year that she got it. I know how she must feel because I get sinus headaches too and mine just last a few hours….so hers lasting two days…well I could not imagine that.
While Sherri was getting ready to go I decided to look up the National Park just outside of Lafayette. I have been wanting to get me a pass for the National Parks and when reading about this area I noticed the Park just south of us here. I called them and found out that I could get the disabled Access Pass from them at no charge because I am a Disabled Veteran. How cool is that?
OK so we headed out to the doctors office and got Sherri a Steroid shot…she soon will be hitting home runs for the Rangers…HE HE…that should clear her problem up today. Then we set the Garmin for the National Park and it found our way there with no problem.
Upon arrival at the Park Sherri had to give me parking instructions and we got that done and went inside. The Ranger at the desk told us that she could fix me up with the pass but while she was getting the paperwork together we could watch the Video on the history of the Atchafalaya Basin. This was a very interesting bit of information and we both enjoyed it tremendously. After the movie I got my Access Card and we headed to the grocery store in Breaux Bridge to buy groceries.
Sherri was still not feeling well so we just rushed through and got the basics we needed. On the way home Sherri said that she thought that she might just be hungry and wanted to stop at Poche’s Restaurant for the Sunday Special….Shrimp and Catfish….and let me tell you it was too good. I ate everything on my plate and Sherri took a to-go box home with her for Monday’s lunch.
We then headed back to the RV for some needed rest and relaxation. I napped on and off while Sherri shopped around in Yoville and bought her a new house. She let me know that I would have to go to work in the Widget Factory to buy her some furniture. Oh well I need something to do…LOL
I see all these birds but I have no idea what they are. I love to watch them out my back window as they walk the bank and catch fish…much better than I have.
We took our mile walk just before the sun went down and by the time we came full circle in the Park I noticed that the moon was coming up over the tree line. I took some pictures that are not the best but I had to give it a try. I need to find the attachment for my camera that goes onto the tripod. I put it up and can’t find it now.
I have all these settings on my camera but I don’t know how to use them. I try my best to get good pictures but they just don’t work for me. Oh well this is the moon in case you have no clue.
I jumped on chat to wish Dee a HAPPY BIRTHDAY but had to leave early to take my Pork Tender Loin out of the convection oven. We had that green beans and a tossed salad for dinner. It was very good and then topped it off with Ice Cream.
That just about sums up Sunday here in the Southern part of Louisiana. I will update you later on our Monday….

I hope Sherri is feeling better. Congratulations on the park pass...that is pretty cool. Your best bud is jealous! Your picures are good, don't out guess your self...just point and shoot. That is my theory. We can't all be Gordon's. LOL

Man, you guys eat well! I'm on a wretched diet right now and reading your blog makes me extremely hungry for great food! Pork Tenderloin..ice cream?? Well, maybe in another month or so I can get back to human food instead of rabbit food.
Great pictures. Sure better then I did all last week, some are so blurry you can't even tell who the people are. We love hearing from you.
Seems like you are doing pretty good in that retirement mod! Not as easy as you thought, huh? Sure that you will make good use of the parks pass, feels good to get something "free". Love the pictures.
Hugs, Kathy
Joe, your bird is a Yellow-crowned Night Heron. Nice shot. I like the moon one too. I'm like you, though, all kinds of settings and I just use two of them: landscape and automatic. lol
