Thursday, October 14, 2010

Tuesday Paul and Patty came to visit. They were in Alabama and they took a detour on the way home to come to see us. We chatted, had Happy Hour, had dinner in the lodge, played Farkle, and then they left the next morning. We really enjoyed their time here.

Last night, we were awakened at 1:15 A.M. to the sound of a crash. We had a raccoon on the back deck. He ate a can coozie and part of the grill brush. Then he pulled the screen out of the frame in the galley porthole. The porthole was closed, so he couldn't get in there. John got up and closed all the other windows. We were grateful that the hatch above the bed was closed. Could you imagine waking up to a raccoon falling on top of you in the middle of the night? Rocky Raccoon was on the boat next to us too. They have children on board and the raccoon broke their water balloons.

Tonight we are going to a place called Rattlesnake Saloon in Tuscumbia, Alabama. This is a bar built in a cave. They are only open Thursday through Saturday and we are told they draw 900 people in one weekend. I'll let you know how it is. Hopefully, I'll be able to take pictures.
