Paddy Plays in Dead Mule Swamp
“The ibuprofen had helped a lot.
Much to my own surprise I heard myself say, “Since the meal was free, why don’t we spend the money to go canoeing.”
Both girls perked up. “I want to do that!” Sunny was now grinning for real. “Where can we go?”
“There are canoes to rent at Turtle Lake,” I explained. “It can’t be too much for an hour.”
“What about Paddy?” Star asked.
“He’ll be fine at home for that long.
He’d be no use in a small boat anyway, so this is a perfect day to do it. And it’s so hot; it ...will feel good to be on the water.”
After we finished eating, we drove down Kirtland Road, and the turnoff to the boat livery was well marked. I wasn’t sure how we were going to manage with three people, but the young woman, probably a college student, operating the rental booth suggested Star take a kayak, and that Sunny and I could use a canoe. “That way you can all paddle,” she explained.
She looked askance at my bandaged arm.
