This morning we went to church and then drove to Cleveland MS to lunch with some friends of Mom and JR. Cleveland is a regional farming community and home to Delta State University, whose mascot is the "Fighting Okra". No kidding. I didn't make that up. I think they compete in the Veggie League and determine their conference champion in the annual Salad Bowl. We lunched at the Country Platter Restaurant which is certainly the place to go to get great southern soul food. Funny, they weren't serving okra.

Sunday June 10. Soul Food: Cleveland MS
We are back in Shelby MS visiting Mom and will probably stay until Friday morning, at which time we will depart and continue our westward adventure.
