Yesterday Rob, Kathryn F., and I tootled on up to Jackson to fetch my canoe.  Mom left it for me when she moved to ABQ…over a year ago.  Oops.  I’m happy to say I’ve finally gotten the rope and time to retrieve it.  As you all know, we’re moving to Austin in three short weeks.  There’s a river that runs smack dab down the middle of the city, so what better time to use the canoe than now??

The drive up there was pretty normal.  We stopped by Kristin’s house to pick her up for lunch, then drove to Sal and Mookie’s, where we met with Alicia and Johnny.  I split the Zydeco pizza with Kathryn F. and Rob, mmmm soooo good! Andouille sausage and crawfish tails, seriously, it doesn’t get better than that.  After eating, we headed back to Kristin’s, where I sadly didn’t get a picture of the four of us walking with canoe over our heads.  Rob tied it up, we got the oars and motor, then headed back. Yay!

This was before we hoisted it upon the car…

This was after!

Thankfully, the canoe made it back no problem.  No snapping rope, no flat tire, AND we had the storage key.  Booya.
