Stop Along the Way

June 10
Before leaving Rocks Pond I persuaded Buddy to get up early and sit with me on a hard swing by the lake so I could take a picture of the sunrise.
We stopped by (ex-brother-in-law), Danny and Marie’s in Sow Cur-a-linuh (as Rusty pronounces it). He wanted us to stay at his place. So here we are! Danny and his Jack Russell (named Sassy) met us, on his golf cart, at a restaurant just down the road from his house. It was good to see him – he was talking a mile a minute (he had not changed a bit). I stayed with the RV while Buddy, Danny and Sassy checked out the access road to his house. After cutting a few limbs they returned. It went like clock work – Bud pulled down the road to the neighbor’s house, made a loop and then backed in Danny’s driveway. He had water and power for us; although, they had to make some minor up-grades to the service box. We got things set up and then Danny was ready to show us around the neighborhood by way of the golf cart. He is proud of their place and his dog. Danny and Sassy go out everyday in a small (what Danny called) river boat and put out lines to catch catfish. He told us one morning he and Sassy went out in the boat to put out lines. He said Sassy likes to sit on the bow of the boat so she can keep and eye on things. Danny said, “You have to keep an eye out for moccasins on the river, there are a lot of them.” Well he spotted a moccasin in the water; he pulled out his 45 and took aim. He fired and missed, and then the snake turned heading right for the bow of the boat. “POW, he shot again, he said Sassy flew off the bow of the boat and sailed right into his lap just shaking. Another time he hit a log in the river and Sassy (she hates water) flew off the bow right into the river. He thought she’d never come up, but he said she finally pop-up and he grabbed her – she wasn’t amused. Tomorrow, Bud and Danny are going to wire in an outside receptacle, do a few things around the place, and go fishing.
