2010-Nov.20 Fish, Catch & Release

Johnny went fishing this Saturday morning, Joseph had a friend sleep over last night, so he didn't want to go. Bryan went with his Dad and they went out to Green Lake. Johnny brought home these catfish.

CATCH

RELEASE

Johnny, Joseph and Elijah took the chest with those catfish over to the pier.

Joseph caught a little grass snake and thought he would see if it liked these fish, "whatever, Joseph!"
And away they go,

Okay there they go, into our lake and a new home for them. We watched them after they were released. It was like they were stunned and didn't know what to do. We could count them all in a small circle. One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight. Then..... one by one....they swam off into their new home.

Hmm, where are Bryan's fish? What happened son?

Did I miss something? . . . .

2010-Nov.19 My Mom's Birthday

I just had to acknowledge My Mother's Birthday. She would have been 83 today and she has been gone 7 years, 1 month and 22 days. And I think of her everyday, she is always with me, near me, and always thought of. I still reach for the phone to call her - it could be because I want to share something with her, or to ask her a question, ask her to go to lunch with me, or to just vent to her about something. She was always there for me. She was my best friend. And it's hard because we shared so much together. Even the small day-to-day stuff.

But I see her in my dreams and I have dreamt of her often. I like that so I can see her. So - Mom - I will see you in my dreams.



MOM - I MISS YOU SO MUCH - I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

2010-Nov. 15 Classified Ad

We were reading the paper during lunch and Nikole read this aloud, saying, "Rebecca, did you put this ad in the classified?" And just to let everyone know, "No, I did not!" But I often feel this way. And, I just thought it was amusing, so I wanted to share this.
