Gone Fishing.....

We had a nice anniversary...... laughed about some of the silly things we have done together..... "we've had a good life".   It's so sad that it had to end so soon..... we had so many plans for this part of our life......

Tom seems to be done with trapping now....... he lay in bed drinking his morning coffee..... we were discussing what we were going to do in the yard.

Kel calls and tells Tom the fish were really biting in the river...... LESS than an hour later........

It looked like it was going to be a nice day... I threw some sandwiches together..... thermos of coffee and some pop.  Grabbed Toms fishing gear... and were out the door and down the road inn a flash......

The girls were so excited..... they love going places......it was a 45 minute drive to the Park on the river..... Boats were already in the bay where Tom was going to fish off shore.

 Unfortunately Maggie is the only one with "outside manners"  .......... Outside our property/yard kind of manners.  The other girls aren't aware of the no dogs running loose through the woods law at the park.

  SO the three girls and I hung out in the Van for the day..... we sang songs, told stories and took naps..... Tom and Mag came up the bank from the bay for a bit to eat and to warm up.  The cold north 

 wind decided to blow into the bay....... it was chilly.

 We stayed till 5:00 pm ........Tom gave up when all the boats not far from him were catching fish like crazy and he wasn't even getting a nibble.......

On the way home he thanked me for bringing him and staying..... He wanted me to drop him off and pick him up in the evening......I refuse to do that but I also don't think it's fair that our circumstances should strip everything fun out of our lives.  The girls and I were just fine in the van.....

He admitted he would have been scared if I had just dropped him off.  I knew that...... that is why we all stayed and encouraged him to enjoy himself and stay as long as he wanted.

 The sad part of this story is...... There were people in the boats who knew Tom and could have let him in their boat to catch two lousy fish...... If it was the other way around.... Tom would have done it in a heart beat.....
