Beth, from A Year of Kayaking, stopped by today. She is traveling to Louisiana from Florida and I was on her way.
We had a lovely visit. Nox enjoyed meeting Beth as well. Nox started to bark then realized that Beth was a nice person. Since Beth was nice person, Nox wanted some petting from Beth.
Beth was kind enough to knit this beautiful scrubby washcloth for me. I love the texture and the colors.
We walked around the campground a bit and she got a chance to look at the Styx River.
I had read her email wrong and thought she was coming tomorrow. I was glad we hadn’t left for the grocery run yet, when I got her text saying she was at the Alabama welcome center. I had planned to buy shrimp and have make a shrimp lunch for Beth.
Since we hadn’t gotten the groceries yet, we punted and went to The Warehouse restaurant. They have lovely fried oysters. Bruce had been wanting to go back and this gave him an excuse.
Beth – Thank you so much for the lovely scrubby washcloth. Safe travels and I hope to see some more pictures of your kayaking adventures. I love your wildlife pictures and your knitting projects!

I love see her post. She gets such such great pictures of wildlife. She has a van and she moves around a lot more than we do.

What a beautiful gesture from Beth. I’ve never heard of a scrubby washcloth, and a knitted one at that, so there’s something more to explore for later (I am a newbie knitter!).
