A note from Bob and Lois's daughter, Becky
Bob and Lois are A OK. The boat however has a bearing that went out in the main shaft. They are dry docked, waiting on a part. Apparently, the boat has the original bronze shaft in it. They were going to pick up supplies and out to eat today. The marina has a loaner car that they were able to use. Dad is polishing the boat. He also had to buff the scratches out from the locks so far. It's looking pretty good, and only has a little to do on the port side yet. The rest of the 6 boats they were traveling to TN with, went on to Chatanooga for sightseeing. They will stop on the way back to check on them. Hopefully, Bob and Lois will already be back at Joe Wheeler by then. They do have cell phone and email service, so we have been able to talk with them. Around Guntersville Lake there were floating condo's, very large pontoons with buildings on on them all in a row. Nice looking, low buildings right on the water. How about that? It has been a little on the cold side at night as they are out of the water and have to use space heaters. Will be happy to be back in the water and using regular boat power, it'll be much warmer then. Hope to have everything back together and in the water by Weds lunchtime, if the part is available in the am.

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
Hope you are on your way again soon. I am in swimming lessons this week. I look forward to seeing deer this weekend on the mountain. Will send you pics. Have you seen much wildlife recently?
I love you, Bobby
