FUN WITH FRIENDS AT GOOSE POND

We are continuing to enjoy our time here at Goose Pond Colony Marina.  The scorching heat wave has subsided somewhat, and we've gotten out and about with some of our friends.  We've enjoyed two dinghy excursions - one upriver to Mud Creek to a restaurant and the second downriver to Lake Guntersville State Park Lodge for lunch.  Both trips were around twenty miles each way.  Beautiful scenery to enjoy along the way.

We were delighted to have our good friends, Jerry and Patti Smith, come to visit on July 29th.  They were on their way home to Tavares, FL after vacationing in Waynesville, NC.  Jerry was Bill's best man when we were married
