Very Special Guests = Very Special Friends

Shortly after we arrived at Dog River, crew members Terry and Will joined us for the evening. They were on their southern migration to Naples, and as everyone knows, Mobile is on a direct path from Indiana to Florida = NOT! That they went out of their way to come to see us just made the visit even more special. An additional testament to their loyalty and devotion is that they had to stay in a hotel that was not what Terry or I would call a five star resort…

If there is a downside to making a journey like the one that we are doing, it is missing our friends and family back home. Of course, it is wonderful to meet new friends but not seeing friends and family on a regular basis is very hard. Keeping in touch via the phone and internet is great, but nothing beats hands-on hugs and kisses. So Terry and Will were the perfect antidote and the best gift that I could have received when we arrived at Dog River. As always when we are with Terry and Will, the time is filled with smiles, laughter, good food and great wine. This time was certainly no exception!
