Have a fit and fall in it

My ISP has been an OOPS lately. I hope they're truly fixed this time.

Let's see...oh yes.

DH took the local nephew fishing last Saturday and this is what the kiddo caught.A whopping 10 pound Bluecat. The boy said this fish tasted better than any he's ever had before.

Mom's home and recovering nicely. She had a doctor's appointment to get her staples out yesterday and the doc was pleased with her knee and her progress. Now she starts physical therapy.

Honey moves the kittens daily it seems. She brings them around to eat and may or may not leave them overnight. She's beginning to wean them.

We enjoy them when they're here. Never ending entertainment out of those three.

Now for the best news of all. After 8 months and innumerable job applications, (squeeee!) I finally got a job. I start Monday and I can't wait.

Gone fishing

If you'd tried to find us Friday that's what the note on the door would have said. My husband has been through a lot lately and was sorely in need of a little fun so off we went. Here's the little bitty walleye he caught. Too little, throw him back.Here's the hybrid bass I caught. He was big enough to keep, but I'd rather not. In he went.This little guy came to visit my fishing line.DH is thinking hard about fishing..or something.Lots of Canada geese around the lake.What! That's not a fish, a dragonfly, or a goose.I spotted this fine fellow on the drive home from the lake. He/she was the second one I'd seen along the road. The first, sadly I didn't get a picture, was standing in a stock tank cooling off. DH said there was a smaller one under another tree, but I didn't see it.

Remember the raft? We took it and it does indeed float and is going to be a blast out at the creek. I'm looking forward to stalking the pelicans this fall.

We had a good day. DH laughed for the first time in a week and got to do a little fishing.

Home again, home again, jiggity-jig

I hope everyone had a happy, safe, and enjoyable Memorial Day.

This little fellow was a frequent visitor at our campsite.Heading out to do some fishing.Just look at the concentration on his face.Lookie there! A walleye.Back at camp a flowering weed growing in the brush. We had a good time for the most part. It was too hot, too windy, and too crowded. We would have had a much better time if Sir Pukes Alot and his band of Foul-mouthed Fellows hadn't been parked next to us. At one point DH went and told them to get quiet. Oh well.

Mom and I got a bunch of bird watching done and lots of visiting. We both read until we ran out of books. Tragic!

We're glad to be home.

We're off!

Well, not quite. DH still has to come in, have a shower, and hook up the boat. Then we're off.

We're going to the lake for the weekend and hoping to do a bit of relaxing (me, not him) and a lot of fishing (him, not me). We took the trailer up last night and dropped it and my mom off. Poor mom, abandoned for the night and a day. I hope she's loving the peace and quiet.

I want to wish each of you a safe, happy, and festive Memorial Day weekend. See ya!

Divide and conquer

DH and I had my sister's kids on Saturday.

DH took the nephew fishing. He caught a 4 pound large-mouth bass and a few sand bass. They both had a good time and enjoyed each other's company.

We girls went downstairs and made a little quilt from fabric in the scrap basket. Notice the concentration. She has the attention span of a gnat and a heavy hand.

Here's her finished project. Yes, it's crooked, but it's her first and hopefully not her last.
Just the right size for a baby doll.
