10/5 - Rogersville, Alabama

While Pat did the wash at a Laundromat in town, George worked in the lobby of the lodge at catching up our blog with pictures and videos because we did not have a good WIFI connection at our slip. The blog has been a time-consuming, but rewarding, activity for both of us between the writing, editing, and photo insertions. It is a great way, however, for us to preserve our memory of this adventure, and to share it with our family and friends.

It was an overcast day with rain predicted for overnight, and Al and Gayle invited us to share a "Bon Voyage" dinner with them aboard "Falkor" this evening. They will be moving farther up the Tennessee River tomorrow morning, while we remain here at Joe Wheeler. The Italian dinner was fabulous with pasta and Bolognese sauce, salad, and home made rolls followed by Devil's Food cake with chocolate chunks. Gayle is a great cook and baker!

The Binningtons also shared their pictures of "Parfait", their canal boat, on various trips they had taken in France with her. We shared a toast of champagne to celebrate the time we have traveled together (3 weeks), and had a completely lovely evening with this terrific couple with whom we truly hope we have the pleasure of motoring again!
