We relaxed in Demopolis for several days taking care of the usual chores but not tackling any major projects. Tuesday, our first full day here, was a rainy one so we stayed on the boat most of the day reading and catching up on bills, correspondence, etc. After Tuesday, we enjoyed cooler than normal temperatures (70’s to low 80’s) and sunny skies which made for very pleasant spring days.
On Thursday, Maureen’s cousins, Tom and Louise McGuire, along with their friends, Rick and Beverly, rode over from Meridian, Mississippi, on their Harleys to see Blue Heron and visit for awhile. Meridian is a little less than an hour from Demopolis. After a tour of the boat, we walked over to the marina restaurant for a bite and then bid the cyclists “Adieu” for the night. We hope to get together again with Tom and Louise before we leave the area.
On Saturday, we were invited to join a few of the boaters for a trip over to Kora’s Restaurant for lunch. Kora sure knows how to cook! Gale had ribs, Maureen had baked chicken and we shared sides of baked beans, pinto beans, cheesy/rice/broccoli casserole, cornbread and homemade peach cobbler. It was fabulous!
Sunday, Mother’s Day, was spent doing a little laundry and getting packed for our trip to Iowa to see our youngest son, Kelle, graduate from college in Iowa City. Dave, a fellow boater living aboard Moonstruck, a 43-foot DeFever, had generously offered to give us a ride into Meridian Monday morning to pick up our rental car and we plan to take off from there.

You said the guy who was taking you to Merdian was "old", hell I think I'm older than David. Tell him we said hello and that we'll have a cocktail together soon! That sure is a "motley" crew at the Wall.....LOL!
Thanks so much for your hospitality. We had a wonderful time. Great boat.
