A Little Bit of "Sunshine"

We had a wonderful surprise visit yesterday from the crew of Sunshine! ~ About 10:00 AM yesterday morning the phone rang and Muriel asked where we were...We told her that we had just pulled into The Green Turtle Bay Marina, south of Paducah Kentucky on Lake Barkley the night before...she said, "Well, we'll be in that area on our way to Kansas City around 3 today...Can we stop by for a visit?" STOP BY FOR A VISIT! You've got to be kidding!? Bud later told us that when they were planning the trip they mentioned they would look down while crossing over the Ohio River with the hopes they might see Ithaka cruising by...Never did they actually think the timing would have been so perfect...But, you know us...we do seem to have things fall into place in a rather divine way! It was great to see Bud and Muriel and of course, Chip's 'fishing buddy, Shelly! We reminisced about our time together last summer and we made plans to see each other again while they are down in Florida visiting Jeff and Anne (their son and daughter-in-law) in November when we are home! We called Bill and Eileen (Blue Max) while they were here, too...and we all got very nostalgic.

We got "socked-in here today, but we did have a "little bit of Sunshine" yesterday!
Life is good on Ithaka!
