Grande Caribe Cruisng Into Town
I was sorry I missed the opportunity to see the Grande Caribe cruise into the Yazoo Diversion Canal this past Tuesday. The picture of the ship was taken/posted by a friend of mine I went to school with, Shirley Ann Farish, on Facebook. Just so happened that the American Queen was also docked at our waterfront, she said. Directly behind the ship is the old Harrahs/Grand Station Casino Boat which has recently been auctioned off for scrap for $10,000. Nothing last forever!
According to their site the unique design of the ship allows for easy travel through shallow waters and narrow channels. It is mostly for active and inquisitive senior travelers who prefers small quiet ports to tourist traps. It holds 100 passengers, whereby you can socialize and make friends with the typically retired, well-traveled and sociable group on board. It has a BYOB policy and an informal dress code. During your cruise the captain and on board lecturers offer enjoyable informational commentary, as you cruise past the scenery. This ships crew, chefs, guest lecturers, outside entertainment, and land tours are all carefully chosen, to provide a pleasurable, memorable and relaxing vacation. Sounds like a nice cruise I would like to take one day! Check it out if this looks like something you may be interested in at Great Lakes Cruising dot com.

Holy Piggie!
This wild boar was taken in Newman, Western Australia. A lot of bacon for sure! Looking forward to getting me a wild hog one day in the Mississippi Delta - maybe half that size, I hope!

Look Who's Boss
This is the Photo-of-the Week at Cuddleback Digital dot com.
A very cool shot that I wanted to share with you from the Facebook page of Cuddleback Digital by John White - Carrsville, VA.
Here's a great action shot of a boss gobbler, "showing a jake who was in charge," as John puts it. Interestingly, over the past weekend, I watched from my blind as the big strutting tom I was attempting to coax closer was run off by two over-sized jakes with attitudes. The two jakes continued to patrol the area, disrupting my efforts to call in a tom. Next year, I vowed, I will take care of one of them.
Good luck to you John in getting Tom Turkey in our great wild outdoors!

Hunter Catches Bird
A bird in the hand is worth, well, in this case it’s worth 2,000 belly laughs, and for a couple of reasons. First, a quail hunter uses his bare hand to catch a quail that inexplicably flew directly at him, and it was caught on video. Second, the video is posted in the most unlikeliest of places: A church’s YouTube channel among gospel messages. We found out why, but first, check out this incredible video of Senior Pastor Matt Carter making an amazing catch while on a quail hunting trip with NFL quarterback Colt McCoy in South Texas:

Mother's Day Flowers
I received these beautiful flowers yesterday from my step-daughter, Karen and my step-son-in-law, Ron, for Mother's Day. I really appreciate them thinking of me and I know I will enjoy my flowers. The aroma from the flowers makes my room smell so nice. Again, many thanks for the flowers and I love you guys so much! xxoo
A very Happy Mother's Day to all my Blogging Mothers!

A Queenly Visit
Docked at the city waterfront near the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley RR Station. The American Queen looks bigger than the building.
Zoomed in and got the American Queen bus headed to dropped off passengers from touring our Vicksburg National Military Park and antebellum homes. You can see the Vicksburg Riverfront Murals from here.
The American Queen from the Children's Art Park at Catfish Row.
The Yazoo Diversion Canal from the MS River at Vicksburg is very high because the MS River is a flood stage right now and some of the flood walls have been closed.
Three bus loads loading and unloading tourist passengers.
Playground for the kids at the Children's Art Park.
Catfish at Art Park Row!
