Meet Angel




Angel is the apple of a retired couple's eye. They live in Young's Point by Lock 27. We spent part of the evening with this couple last night. They told us about a cute little out-of-the-way restaurant named "Granny's". The food was the best we've had so far on this trip and Salad, entree, dessert and coffee FOR TWO -- $40 and change. That wasn't even the best part! The best part was listening to the life story of a gentleman who was a cobbler by trade, but did much farming in addition to that to support his family. We laughed hardily listening to animal stories and characteristics of various types of farm animal. The couple just celebrated 55 years of marriage January past. He came over and had coffee with us this morning and before we began our journey this morning, she too, came over to bid us farewell. Wonderful people! A real blessing to the trip.
