Hi All,We left Guntersville on Wednesday at 1 pm to travel the Tennessee river to Chattanooga. It was a beautiful float through some awesome mountainous country ripe with Civil War history. The leaves are beginning to turn and it is so colorful. I saw the Suck Creek and Lookout Mountain, both important geographical aspects to the Civil War. My Southern shipmates find it funny that I am so interested. As I cook below-deck there is a shipmate that yells down to me when we get to a cool part of the river. Very kind.
Today we began the tours and since the senior deck hand that runs our gift shop is gone for a few days I am in charge of the inventory. Lots of counting postcards and folding t-shirts. Glamourous, I know. Once done, I prepare dinner: turkey tenderloin, mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans and a garden salad. Once dinner's done a crew hand washes the dishes. That's the best part!
That is it for now. Tomorrow we have a full day of guests and an opportunity to shower at the YMCA.
Love to all!
Kathy
Dear Auntie,
ReplyDeleteWe went to a Sock hop at School tonight. And then our dad came home from Washingotn DC. So we were really Hapy! We are going to see the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra play Vivaldi's Seasons tomorrow at the Ordway. Jan Sigmund sent us the tickets. We will let you know how much we like it but it will be a good time because that is one of our favorite pieces of music we all agree. love, Ian, Abbie and Joey.
