Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

Fisherhubby is out on "The Pete" and Won't Come Home for Supper

.

Fisherhubby truly is 14 years old.

He's out fishing on "The Pete" and won't stop and come home for supper 'cause he's caught 15 scaly things this late afternoon and early evening.

"The Pete" is what he calls Lake Petenwell, which is just down the road a piece from here.

"The Pete" is more than 23,000 square acres of water.

It is BIG.

People have gotten lost out there - - - including Fisherhubby.

I told him to be sure he has enough gas, his phone, AND HIS CHARGER.

I'll let you know when he comes home and what his tally total of scaly things is.

I reckon I'd better grow me some scales if I want any attention from him.

Oh - - - and I "ain't" waitin' on him to come home to eat my supper neither!

Later Addendum: He got home about 10 pm, his fish tally for the day was 18.

Kranky Granny said...: I hope you are planning one huge fish fry for friends and family after all the scaly things he tallied on your vacation to the cabin. Otherwise how do you manage to eat all those fish? Or, does he count them and toss them back?; August 5, 2012 at 6:03 PM
Unknown said...: And doesn't he have a small boat? I love to boat and fish but little boats on big lakes are scary! Great catch though!; August 8, 2012 at 7:40 PM
