Eating Catfish at Joe Wheeler 

We ate Catfish, baked potato, hush puppies, tarter Sauce, butter, sour cream 

We went back to our room until it was time for our pajama movie, "Steel Magnolias."

There were snacks to eat while watching the movie, but I was too full to eat. 

Could not believe that I enjoyed watching an old movie with a bunch of strangers. 

After the movie, everyone retired to their rooms for the night.

Saturday morning, we had a light breakfast, followed by a painting class from 8:00 to 9:30 A.M.

Hello Spring Painting 

Next, we created a bath balm from 9:45 to 11:15 A.M.

From 11:30 to 12 P.M., we danced.

Lunch was a Taco Salad from the food bar. 12–1 P.M.

Pontoon Cruise 2–3 P.M.

The women who had registered for the 2 P.M. boat ride loaded onto the Pontoon boat for a one-hour ride on the Tennessee River, where our guide pointed out points of interest and waterfowl
