April 23

Okay.......here's the latest from Aberdeen, Mississippi where the boaters are all tied up and the hatches battened down waiting for storms and a flash flood watch (ugh....not what you want to hear)!     They plan to stay put tomorrow since the weather doesn't sound good and they have several boat jobs to tackle.   Stats for today include traveling 81.6 miles and passing thru 3 locks.    They had an issue with the anchor getting stuck on a tree or whatever but nice tow driver waited for them while they kept circling around and were finally free.    Fuel is $2.99 and Catrina was thirsty (again) taking on 106.3 gallons.   The marina has a courtesy car for them to use and they are 2 miles from Aberdeen which has population of  6,000+ .   

Appreciate the pictures Gary, the photographer is sending and here are some from today's travels...
Not sure what this is, but looked interesting
The Captain snoozin' away.

Enjoyed a wonderful gentle, soaking rain all day long.  Candy (friend and neighbor) took me to therapy evaluation and then we ran some errands.    Lee will be my main therapist and what a place this is.   The building is a former church and now a very impressive therapy center with a huge array of equipment and facilities for folks doing all kinds of therapy for their various needs.    MCO has 12 therapists -  just a tad more than Apalachicola!  
 I have a schedule set up for 3x a week for the next 4 weeks (1/2 hour each).   There is some "freezing" going on in the shoulder - not good, so will really be getting down to the serious "painful" business of having more mobility.   I have several new exercises to do at home, too.

Five friends took Donna Rae out for her birthday lunch at Jesse's Grill (was there earlier this week - really good) and what fun to catch up, laugh and celebrate Donna Rae!
