There are two fishing poles out in the shed that weren't there yesterday. I get a little kick in the gut when I think about them, one of those happy-sad feelings that is both a hug and a pinch. Yesterday after work, Lee and I took tacos over to my grandparents house. My grandmother has always had a...
On Saturday morning, I took the boys to get some trout bait. We picked up a couple of cartons and drove to see Cole's friend Alden. Alden's dad Jesse took the three of us with Alden and Henry in tow. The pond by their house is called "Fishy Pond" by the boys. There is good reason because there is...
Things I'm Not Liking: That I can't find pictures of our bedroom before we got the new furniture because I want to share the "after" pictures! Ray not feeling well. Its rare that he comes home from work. Hope he's not getting a migraine. Gndsgang having to cancel our golf date. Things I Like: Cody...
I just returned from dropping Cody off at his 2nd year of Christian wrestling camp. Its on a lake about 40 miles from here. Its only 3 nights, thank goodness, because I really don't think I could handle more. I broke down and got him an extra cell phone for the family. I went with a $10 track phone....
The fishing has slowed down considerably but there was still enough fish for supper yesterday. Today, only the guys went out in the morning and then they picked up Lily and I. The weather was gorgeous and I caught a few fish. I was watching a storm move in and the men were not being cooperative...
It's the middle of the month and my head is spinning. Mostly I wonder where June went. CT Scan/Cycle 22/The cancer front My last scan (14th) was stable, but something, maybe the northern Cal fires (?), has been making my chest tight and breathing difficult. I had a chest X-ray after chemo yesterday,...
People fish in the East River every day, just off Market Slip, near my apartment building. These days, they have some art to admire across the way.
Today, Pops and I took out his "new" boat to Lake MacBride for what I expected to be a boating trip that would involve us drowning a few worms. For the first two hours, it was just that. We enjoyed trying out the "new" boat motor, talking about father/son topics and enjoying God's creation. On our...
Also taken from our week at the lake. Canola Fields Independence Island where we caught most of the fish.

Just as I remembered, the campsite we stayed at for 2 nights was gorgeous. We had a lot of fun! We almost didn't make it there, though. We packed everything in Bill's van & were about 45 miles down the highway when we stopped at A&W to eat lunch. Bill noticed a lot of smoke coming out of the left...
Spent a relaxing 4th of July with the fam up on Cape Cod, doign a little fishing, a lot of bbqing and beer drinking, and caught most of the epic Wimbledon ffinal between Nadal and Federer. It was great to get out of the city and get some fishing in, and also (of course) to eat some amazing ice cream...
Two weeks in a row I went camping at the lake and two weeks in a row it rained. Of course it would. Not that the rain hampered the boys in wanting to play outside. The rain cycled from mist to drizzle so it could have been worse at least the boys could walk around and not get soaked. The boys...
The guys had another great day of fishing yesterday. Of course, not quite as good as when the girls were along but they still ran out of bait. You'd think they'd start taking more! We had one of my mom's famous lake suppers: steak, walleye, potatoes & onions on the grill, corn, deviled eggs, and for...
Since this was to be the last day of decent weather before a heat wave moves in, Lily & I decided we better go out fishing again. Cody started off catching some good ones and then I caught a couple. Next, Lily & her Barbie pole kicked into gear and she caught the biggest so far of the week at 24...
you have to quit because you've run out of bait! My mom had to run back home today and do a little work so Lily & I went fishing with the guys. You couldn't ask for a more beautiful day with temps in the mid 70's and a light breeze. Lily started us off catching some walleye with her Barbie pole....
Things That Stink: Seriously, what could stink when you're at the lake for a week? Things that Rock: The 15 fish the boys brought in last night: 14 walleye and 1 catfish. They made for a great supper! Sleeping in. Being with my hubby all week. Eating the amazing meals my mom cooks while we're here....
We had a wonderful time in Medora yesterday. We went to their neat playground, through souvenir shops, had supper, and then went to the musical at the outdoor amphitheater. It was the perfect night for it and I have so many great pictures that I can't wait to share. Of course, they'll have to wait...
I'm on vacation!
Well, I don't have much to say, other than I LOVE KAYAKING!!! We went kayaking last weekend when we went camping at Lake Fort Smith Park and had a blast! I was always afraid to kayak because I didn't want to roll the thing and be upside down in the water and it always looked so uncomfortable with...
