A Special New Friend in Paducah, Kentucky



My very favorite thing about life on the road is the many unforgettable people who come into our lives. Meet Mike Vessels, a native of Paducah.  "Mr. Mike" was spotted in the office playing an instrument called the Psaltery when we checked into the Duck Creek RV Park.  The Psaltry is an ancient stringed musical instrument dating back to King David.  It only took minutes for our very musical Lacy to join him, and she was soon followed by Evan and Adam.  As the evening progressed, Lacy and Adam both went to get their guitars and the music began.  These three played together and enjoyed this special fellowship until we finally had to drag our two back to the RV to go to bed after 11:00 p.m. (midnight Atlanta time)!  I'm sure our travels will now bring us back to Paducah to check on our new friend.
