Even though I dont like fish, your two grandsons holding their prized catches, are beautiful and priceless...what smiles...thanks for sharing those pictures with us...also, I will come to your next fish fry...I will wear clothes pins on my knose....
I dont have a picture of me holding a fish, but I think there is one of me with a hotdog...the first fish I caught was an ugly sheepshead...caught a flounder the same trip at the mouth of the Matagorda river and the gulf/bay...just had a hook, line and sinker...dont even know what bait we were using...I was probably about 8 years old...
That was the time a water moccasin started climbing up my grandfathers line...my dad and his three brothers drew their pistols at about the same time, and proceeded to teach that ol snake some manners....I dont think they hit him, or that was one tough snake, cause he was still on the line during the gunfire, so my grandfather whupped out his barlow knife and just cut the line and zip, snakezilla was gone...dad and uncles still blazing away at the snake in the water, till it disappeared...sounded like whirld war III...meanwhiile, all four of them were laughing so hard, almost tipped the boats over...the wild bunch strikes again! ! !
And that my fine waltripines, was my introduction to fishing 101...I'm surprised they didnt just chunk some dynamite over the side and really catch some fish...they told me thats how they use to fish back in the "good ol days"...that and a magneto from an old crank phone...Even as gruff and cranky as they could be, I sure do miss the "wild bunch"...
My idea of fishing, if I liked to eat fish, would be to go to K rogers and tip toe through the meat market so as not to wake the calimari/erasers...I do like hot dogs though...those are really good for you too...and they make you happy...well, they make me happy...
Here's an update on the house on the hill...probably be through with it nextr year...it was suppose to have been ready mid may, we were hoping for mothers day, but that didnt happen, and then maybe by the time school was out, and that didnt happen either, then we were thinking, hmmm, maybe for our 30th anniversary, and my birthday, and fathers day next week...fourth of july???? anyone anyone??? We'll be lucky to get in it by august...oh well, I guess some day eh what! ! ! And to think, I was hoping we could have moved in by last thanksgiving...what is wrong with my brain???
Just watched "THE TEXAS TENORS"...didnt know they even existed...all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!
Those ol boys could sing the phone book and bring tears to your eyes...they're that good! ! !
The onliest (east texas for only) thing, is, they are so pretty! ! ! I know, you dont usually apply the term "pretty" to discribe guys, but these ol boys are just gorgeous, for guys...it's really unfair! ! ! Guys being able to sing so beautiful, and look beautiful also too...I think that if you are that talented, then you should have to look like....me, Quasimodo! !! Of course, I look like that AND cant sing like they can... Oh well, there's other things I can do well...cant think of any right now, but let me sleep on it, and I'll come up with something!
Fudds was fun, as usual...and here's good news, no, really great news...Jackie told me that her tumors have shrunk considerably...YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....she told me the technical term for it, but my little pea brain and short term memory collided and forgot what it was...but she is getting better and better, and that's alll that mattters! ! !
Been having really bad days in the pain department...alm ost didnt go to fudds, but I'm glad we did...my beloved wont let me not go tofudds, and she is right, once I am there, the fellowship is a soothing salve...I still hurt, but with friends like the class of 63-72, the pain is tolerable...
Got the lab results back, and all my numbers, whatever in the heck they are, are normal...Other than polymyalgia rhumatica, and arthritis, bursitis and tendonitis, they still havent found another cause for the intense pain I have been experiencing...I think it's mostly generated by my lower back down to my legs and feet...feels like I am standing on the pointed end of hot railroad spikes...my legs feel like they are on fire from the inside, and cold at the same time...and the bottoms of my feet are numb, even with the pain...
Then there is the three crushed vertebrae in my neck, and both rotator cuffs in my shoulders cause my upper body to hurt...my nose feels ok though, you just have to look for the good among the bad I suppose.
I think the reason I hurt so bad, is my faith isnt as strong as it should be...gonna work on that...
Well, time to mosey on, get along little doughggie, etc...
Sure is great seeing everyone at fudds...it was just last night, and I'm already looking forward to next fudds meeting...
Happy trails...your frien and brother-in-classmate...Olbeauwannkanobie
