It seems odd to need a break from looping, but we do. We are happy to be sitting still. Today we slept in a bit, had breakfast, read the newspaper, and did some chores. Martha did two loads of laundry. George folded the clothes while Martha went in a van with other loopers to the grocery store. He also did some accounting, filled the tanks with water, and tightened the packing around the propeller shaft. After putting away groceries, we went for a walk on Main Street. You know you are in a touristy spot when there are four ice cream shops on Main Street. We chose Edy's Rocky Road cones.
A sunflower as big as my head!
A famous old hotel, the Reubel Hotel on Main Street in Grafton.
There are lots of loopers here, some old friends and some new. A group is leaving tomorrow for Hoppies, an iconic looper stop on the Mississippi River. It is always packed. We can't get in there until Sunday, so we are moving tomorrow to Alton, just 18 miles down the river. We will watch the GA Tech- Duke football game at 11:00 am. (Hope springs eternal.) Very excited to be moving on the great river tomorrow. Pull out your Mark Twain, boys!
