Not a Wordless Wednesday - about a boat

Mommy intended this to be a Wordless Wednesday Post -- and it has like a million words in it!!!!  And to top it off -- it doesn't even have anything to do with us dogs in it!!!

On Mommy's way home from work, Mommy's car was behind a boat on the bridge.  Mommy thought -- that's funny -- being in a car, on a bridge, above a river, behind a boat. A truck was towing a boat and the boat's name was To ‘N Fro , the boat really stood out to Mommy, it was such a pretty boat.  So, Mommy said, I wonder if the boat has a history, so she looked it up on the internet, thinking she probably wouldn't find out anything about that boat.

As it turns out, the To ‘N Fro  boat is over 80 years old and was in Philadelphia being restored.  There is a blog with pictures of the To ‘N Fro boat (and other boats) being restored.  The To ‘N Fro used to carry people back and forth to a church that was on an island in NY.  (If you didn't have a boat to get to church, you could swim or ride the To ‘N Fro.)  The church was on Chapel Island on the Upper Saranac Lake.   The To ‘N Fro boat is retired. 

That's a very interesting boat!   (Guess some boats should start writing their own blogs too like us dogs -- bet they have a lot of very interesting stories to tell!)


Thanks for reading our post that had nothing to do with us dogs in it!!!

P.S.  All this talk about the boat on the blog gave us an idea.  We will try to take a picture of us this weekend (if Mommy ever mows the lawn) with something that is boat related!
