Finally saw a deer

Got to have a lazy day!  Around ten or eleven o’clock this morning we piled in Bill and Patty’s dinghy and took a slow ride over to the Bay Springs Resource and Visitors Center.  The slow ride was due to the cool temperatures as even I had a sweater on.  The cloudy/overcast skies were not helping.  I was hoping I would have cell phone service over there, but not much.

Upon our return we stopped at “Conched Out Too” for a couple cans of mushrooms.  I said I would make dinner if they had mushrooms.  Back aboard “The Second Noelle” I got beef stroganoff prepared and placed in the Crock Pot.  Mom picked up some Tenn-Tom trivia information at the Visitors Center.  That is going to be our entertainment for Mr. Univac tonight with dinner.

Once that was done we lifted anchor out of Cotton Springs at 1:00 p.m.  Since Bill had service last night, he researched which other coves on Bay Springs Lake had Verizon Service via Active Captain.  I have always thought that was kind of a dumb rating item for them to have.  Now I completely understand!  We went a whole six miles to McDougal Branch in an hour’s time.  I have enough service to make phone calls but not computer internet access.  Better than before!
