After a really nice weekend, including a visit from our son Doug and his wife Jamie, and also including an early Saturday morning fishing jaunt with Doug to nearby Wildcat Lake, I’m having a bit of trouble today focusing on the real world.
Doug and Jamie came over late Friday evening so we could leave early and be fishing by 6 am. Saturday. Doug had been wanting an opportunity to use his relatively new float tube on a westside lake.
Having the advantage of being able to cruise the lake, he, of course, outfished me. However, I was able to sit comfortably in my fabric shore chair and drink coffee and read the paper while line wetting.
His pedaling efforts paid off with a beautiful 4-pound largemouth bass, caught virtually in a local resident’s front yard, in addition to about 10 rainbow trout, each averaging about a foot long. I got only one decent rainbow from shore after finally learning where the natural “spring” was.
When it started to heat up about 11:00 we headed home for an enjoyable brunch on our deck while watching the cabin cruisers head up through Agate Passage for a day on the big water (above pic).
Yesterday, we went to church where we observed Holy Trinity Sunday. Pastor Kent Shane did a fine job with his sermon on an almost impossible task – explaining, or trying to explain, the Triune God.
Following the service we enjoyed an outdoor Barbeque on the Christian Center patio. The event was a “thank you” to all who taught Sunday School during this past school year. I got to go ‘cause I’m married to a very good S.S. teacher. It was a wonderful, fellowship-filled gathering.

The three of us (Buddy, Kay Lynne and me) don’t remember much of last evening. We were zonked.
