Fish, Socks and Cubs

By -

 Our Friends Sandy and Larry take us out on their boat.....often.
Larry loves to fish. It is his therapy.  
We caught lots of fish yesterday and the weather was picture perfect.  I am so tired after being on the water all day. 
I sleep so well whenever we get home from Lake Delavan. 
I'm pretty sure that I drive Larry crazy because I prefer to bobber fish. 
He and Fireman jig and reel and WORK at their fish.
I like to watch the bobber. 
I nearly caught the biggest fish yesterday, but I lifted him out of the water too far without the net and whoosh he was gone. 
I also had a huge bite that Larry thinks was a big Northern Pike in the later afternoon. 
He took half the line with him. 
Fireman LANDED the biggest fish of the day: a large mouth bass.

 Sandy never fishes.  She has just as much fun sunning on the boat and chatting away.
More progress made on the never ending baby blanket on the trip up and back. 

I've solved my next knit problem:
Socks!  Just enough shaping to keep me interested,  new yarn to love and a new pattern to work on. 

The CUBS could clinch a play off game today or tomorrow. 
We are beyond excited here.

I like to fish, but I'm a troller. I haven't fished for years though... just too much else going on

We have fish in common today! Our son went fishing after work yesterday and brought home two huge Chinook Salmon! I'm staying home today and crocheting. Have fun with your next knit project. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

I've been thinking that I need to get back to knitting and I definitely want to make myself a pair of socks. My husband is also anxiously following the Cubs progress.

You know I fully support all kinds of sock knitting. :) I am glad you guys had such a good time fishing. Water days are crazy, no matter in, on top, even at the side of it ... makes for a weary body. I'm glad the sleep is good. Beautiful big fish!!!

The water does wear you out, doesn't it? Even when you're just lazing around. I've never understood that.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
