Day 48, September 19th, 2009
The day began early at 6:50 when Mike and Clay arrived to take John catfishing with their friend, Dan. Cindy wasn't far behind when she arrived to hang out at 8:30. We went for a walk along the beach, chatting non stop, before joining Paul and Sue on their boat. We loved hearing all about her daughter Johanna and her adventures working in the White House for President Obama. Johanna is one of two "Press Leads", travelling all over the world smoothing the waters and getting stuff organized before President Obama makes his official visits. It all sounds just like in the movies! Cindy told us about meeting Barak Obama while helping out in the primaries. My goodness what mothers will do to help out their kids!!! Diana joined us just before lunch and then the guys got back with stories of lots of fish!!! In the afternoon we climbed back in the cars and went to Cindy's house for supper. My goodness those guys can cook!!! Mike and Clayton did an amazing job of cooking up the catfish with all kinds of veggies from the garden to go with it. It was delicious!!! We'd never eaten catfish before and I'm telling you its good!!! When I'd asked Mike at Alexander's whether catfish are really that funny looking, he had answered that "how you see the catfish, is in direct relation to how much you like to eat them!" I totally agree. The catfish is one handsome son of a gun!!!! All four of us also enjoyed the delight of their hot shower with snowy white bath towels to pamper ourselves with!! Thank you, Cindy! We had such a good time, it was hard to say goodbye. Thank you Diana for driving us home - one hour to the boats and then another hour to get home! You guys are amazing!! Next time we'll try not to leave it 40 odd years!!!!
