The Golly Monster

James and Bubby took Zach over to the river fishing early Saturday morning. Just before noon he came into the house with a big grin, he couldn't say a word, just kept grinning. His PopPop and Uncle Bubby didn't catch anything worth keeping, Zach caught 3 catfish, 2 were nice sized fish, the third one was what his PopPop referred to as a Golly Monster. He's still preening over his catch, one happy fisherman.

James said it was hilarious to watch him bring it in to the bank with his rod and reel, he was yelling, "Help me PopPop, Help me!" and was backing up the bank. James told him he'd better reel that fish in, it was his to land. He'd had a big one before he caught this one, but it broke the line before he got it to the bank.

Friday Slots and Saturday Fishing

Last night's dinner was wonderful. I had lots of shrimp, salad, and some mussels. I finished up with a few bites of a dark chocolate dessert with a strong cup of coffee.

We played a little before dinner and I managed to win $90 with my $5. After dinner I put in another $15 and didn't hit for anything. I suppose it was a good thing I didn't win a jackpot because I nearly spilled my drink when I won the little bit that I did, a bigger win would have probably killed me.




We went fishing on Old Town Lake this morning and didn't get nary a nibble. I took my camera along so I didn't get the least bit bored.

A Most Excellent Day!

The kids did a little fishing, did a little playing, and did a whole lot of swimming. The adults kept an eagle eye out and sat around enjoying the lovely day. ( Nanaw looks and feels a tad like a crispy critter right now). We had an easy lunch of sandwiches, cookies, and cantalope, and some cool drinks. It was a wonderful day!
