| I thought PA had all the cool named towns |
Sept. 21, the first day of fall – and a beautiful
Saturday. The weather was a perfect
65-75 all day and we spent it doing some interesting and relaxing things. We used the marina car to go to Paducah. On the way we went through Possum Trot – and
decided it was worthy of a photo. L-R,
Dennis, Al and Charli Nauda, from Madeira Beach Fl; and Lori and Bill Hughes,
from San Diego – the group that has made the last week or so really enjoyable.

| River Wall, Paducah |
Continued on into Paducah, where “River Festival” was in
full swing, complete with Dragon Boat Races on the Ohio River. We felt right at home. We stopped at a farmers market, and then went
to the River Heritage Discovery Center, which was a nice little museum about
the history and commerce of this area and the Ohio, Mississippi, Cumberland and
Tennessee Rivers.

| Fantastic Quilts |
We walked through the center of town where there were nice
galleries, restaurants, ice cream shops and many, many lawyers
offices….????? Then we stopped to visit
the National Quilt Museum of America. It
was awesome. The quilts on display are
really a higher art form than “quilts”.
It is fiber and textile art that is unbelievable. It will either inspire me with some ideas, or
make me totally intimidated.
When we got back to the Marina, the local yacht club hosted
a Shrimp and Crab boil and all the boaters in the marina were invited. Wow, what a spread – all the crab legs and
shrimp and boiled corn and potatoes you could eat, plus the offerings of a huge
potluck spread. We had a fine meal and
left in great spirits at the end of a great day.
