Hi Ya’ll

Yes we are in the south.  We are in Corinth Tennessee at Grand River Marina.

We no sooner got in our slip and were told that there was going to be a Looper get together at the pool where we plan to grill our own meat and bring a dish to pass.  There must have been close to 30 people there. Robert from Over Ice and Brian from Valentine, fried up catfish, pan fish, onions, mushrooms, fries, eggplant and anything they thought would fry up. We mingles and grilled.  We met Max who is the crew from Lazy Susan.  He is from Traverse City.  When he heard we were from Michigan he ran back to the boat and got cards to play Euchre. We found Maria from Aqua Fennatic to play with us.  It had been many years since I played, so Maria’s husband, Mike and another gentleman stood behind me and helped me.  We had a blast! We peaked a lot of interest because most people had never heard of Euchre.  We decided it was a Michigan/Canadian game.  It was such a fun festive night.

Yesterday was work day but, today we planned to play. We woke up to thunder, lightening and rain. So what do we do? We go sight seeing.  A little storm can’t stop us.  We went to Shiloh National Park with Don and Elsa from Porte BonHeur from Michigan. There was a 45 minute movie which was amazing. What a horrible battle. Then we did the 12 mile car tour to see all the sites that were in the movie and many monument. Yes it rained the entire time, but we all agreed it was worth going to even in the rain.

And for lunch we went to Hagy’s Catfish Hotel. It is exactly what the name implies.  Delicious fried catfish, hush puppies in a rustic but clean setting.

For a rainy yucky day we sure had a great day.

Thanks for reading.
