If you had some cane poles - you could have caught dinner while you waited. <br />Glad that you got home safe and sound and hopefully it won't take much to get your uncle's boat back on the bayou.Suzanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17105925017959326571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064619473180096184.post-52078467905142716152012-07-06T07:51:15.727-05:002012-07-06T07:51:15.727-05:00Gail, sometimes if one doesn't have bad luck, ...Gail, sometimes if one doesn't have bad luck, they'd have no luck at all!<br />So glad those swamp natives are so hospitable!<br /><br />Love that first picture!
