When I was just a little kid going for boat rides with my Dadda Hailey was always an adventure. When I received this photo this morning, I had a flash back to way back when. I can see him driving his little fishing/ski boat wide open to catch up to this barge so three little kids (my sister, brother and me) can jump up and down in the boat, wave, make all sorts of gestures trying to get the barge captain to blow the horn. And then, when he does blow it .... it's so loud it almost knocks us out of the boat ... and Dadda Hailey laughing.

"Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money,
People on the river are happy to give.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river."
Creedence Lyrics: Proud Mary
