I'm so glad my friend Sue is with us on this trip.

She is the best playmate a dog could have. Even though she may look big, she is just as gentle with me as Momma is handling eggs.

The two-legged decided to get a game of Murbles going.  No, that is not a typo.  The balls look like giant marbles but are solid plastic balls that aren't quite as heavy as botchie balls.  The game is played similar to botchie but with some twists on the botchie rules.  The goal is to get your Murbles closer to the white jack ball than your opponent's Murbles.

After all the Murbles are put in play, you have to pick them up for the next round. 

Someone suggested that we needed a Murble pick up stick, similar to my chuckit ball stick so you don't have to bend over too far.  Someone else suggested that the Murbles were just the right size for Sue to pick up, but she was settled in on her mother's lap.

Then Aunt Carol reminded everyone that the bending over exercise was good for everyone.  Especially after the dinner everyone enjoyed last night.

The gang headed out to a place Reba and Bob recommended.....Catfish House.

If the  number of cars in the parking lot is a good indicator of good food, everyone knew they were in for a delightful meal. It's a good thing reservations had been made.

As everyone pulled their chair up to the  l o n g   table, the feast immediately began with metal baskets of warm hush puppies,  bowls of cole slaw and  pots of northern beans to share.  They kept the goodies refilled before and during the meal.  No wonder everyone had a full belly.

Now as if that wasn't enough to satisfy an empty stomach, Bob's family had baked a Sunshine Cake to share around the campfire.  

It's a good thing happy hour earlier that day didn't include food or everyone would have been bursting at the seams.  Instead, the girls took a walk down to the lake and enjoyed the scenery. 

Tomorrrow, the last day in March, we will relocate, traveling to another campground near Demopolis, Alabama.
