Holy Wind-Blown Ship

Saturday, Sunday, Monday
January 21, 22, 23, 2017

Saturday was sunny and warm and the perfect day for a walk. I got 2 blocks and saw a farmers market--fresh veggies and fruits and home canned goods--oh my!!!! I spent the $10 I had in my pocket and went back to the boat. Kelly was cooking breakfast so I sat down for eggs, sausage and toast. It is not good to shop on an empty stomach. Ooops-already done that! We finished eating and back to the farmers market. Fresh baked bread, pickled okra, and red shrimp to go along with the kale and zuccini I bought earlier. Perfect meal!

Sunday started out sunny and warm also. Bruce and Beth picked us up to go to Don and Anna's. Debbie and Todd were there too! Good food and good friends!! We barely got back to the boat at dark with the wind blowing hard and the rain starting. There were tornado warnings in the area, but not too close to us. By 2 a.m. the boat was rocking like a bucking bull in a rodeo! Not much sleep for us that night.
                                  

And it is still a pretty stiff wind today--just look at those whitecaps on the river in the background. But shopping is on the schedule today! The guys went one way and us gals had a great time searching all the area thrift stores. No fantastic finds but we had a great day visiting!
