WE ARE ALIVE AND WELL!

Today’s date is 10/21 and please know that we are indeed alive and well.  Yesterday a few texts started to roll in from concerned readers as there has not been a post from us in some time.  We simply have had no internet service for the past week, limited cell and only some text capabilities.  We are in the middle of Mississippi now at a marina and will be able to catch up.  I will try to backtrack and bring things back to the present day.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15

JUST ANOTHER DAY - We took a day for reprovisioning and to so some maintenance.  I took the ice cream van (I forgot to take a picture of it) and headed for Corinth, MI and John hung back to start the process of changing oil filters.  After 4 auto parts stores and a trip to Kroger’s for groceries, 2-1/2 hours later I was back to unload and play engineer’s assistant to the captain.  Finished the fuel filter job - yay!  We have enjoyed the Marina here at Grand Harbor and accomplished a lot since we have been here.  

The condos associated with the marina even had a nice workout room and there was no one there so I took my yoga mat up and had the place all to myself.  Had a wonderful practice so enjoyed the opportunity to spread out! 

We both had a nice loooong hot shower (a great treat) and off to dinner out!  We were excited to not cook and not do dishes, it has been a while.  To Freddy T’s we go.  Their car service picked us up and it turned out to be a great place.  Spent some time at the bar and then had an awesome dinner, grilled prime rib and shrimp n’grits – both very yummy!  

The weather is improving dramatically and the forecast for the next 7 days is sun and 70’s.  Works for us!!
