Fishin’

One of the things we’ve seen repeatedly is people with fishing equipment. Sometimes they are actually fishing. At any of the landings we’ve visited, there are always a fishermen putting their boats in the water. One day (it might have been at Edward’s Ferry) I watched someone backing his boat trailer almost off the side of the ramp. When it was in straight I got a lesson in how slickly a boat could be unloaded from a trailer. When he got out I was regaled with a half hour’s worth of fishin’ talk.

Then another boat showed up to be backed into the river, and the fishin’ talk REALLY began. Edward's Ferry…One of the many landings frequented by water lovin’ folk

Elaine ended one day at lock 22, also called Pennyfield lock after Mrs. Pennyfield whose house is still partially standing. Apparently Grover Cleveland liked to come here to fish… bass as the story goes. I hope GC caught a lot of whatever it was he needed.

JD showed up at the Pennyfield house before we left. I wonder if Jesus loved Grover Cleveland. Do you think he would have fished with him?

    The doll was purchased from Cokesbury, which is a Christian book store and publisher. I did a quick search on their site, www.cokesbury.com, but did not find it. Good luck
