Went with 4 others to Paducah today, two had to get their monthly blood drawn due to some previous medical problems.  Went to eat lunch at Whalers Seafood, was very good, had shrimp etoufee and black eyed peas with fresh onions soo good.  The National Quilt Museum was across the street and all were game to go especially Chip who I found out was a Museum Curator all around the world, the Holocaust Museum, Golf Museum, Museums in China, England plus more.  It was fun to here is critique of the displays and the simplistic quilts or I thought, he thought were the most exquisite.  Lots of quilts that were hand quilted and even a basswood carved quilt, to www.gofraser.com, his carving of a quilt with the quilting indentations were amazing, one would swear it was a real fabric quilt.  Very artistic quilts, contemporary and traditional pieced.  Then time was up to get the courtesy car back so had to run.  Went by a plaque on the street about the Scopes Monkey Trial, we all had forgotten that happened here in Paducah.  I did get to go by Hancock's of Paducah store, so exited to just drive by.  Relaxed the afternoon.  Curt had worked on the boat motor all morning, on the way back to the boat parts store since they gave him the wrong impeller.  Finally got the new one in and the motor back together.  Had hamburgers on our little grill on the boat with lettuce salad and an apple I had bought at the Farmer's market a couple of days ago.  Planned out our trip, where we're going to stop, poss. leave tomorrow although I have the courtesy car to go back to Paducah if it is stormy.
