We went to Hoffman for Memorial Weekend. The guys went bass fishing while the women went to garage sales in and around Alexandria. I got a radial saw (like brand new) for $25 & a tractor lawn sprinkler for $10. Brad was excited. Both items work great!
We spent most of our time at VanOver's place because that was where all the food, beer & tables were all set up. We had lots of food, fun & good laughs...as always!!
On Saturday afternoon I went bass fishing with Brad and Jerry. This was my first experience and I had a ton of fun! I only got my line stuck in the trees a couple of times, got snagged in the weeds a few times and I swear I snagged a black bird, but after a while got the hang of it. I caught a nice sized bass and a little itty bitty bass that was no bigger than my lure. When I caught it, I thought that I lost it so I was reeling in and all of a sudden I said, "Well I bet I just caught the smallest fish on this damn lake." It was no bigger than 3-4 inches. He must have been a brave little guy. Brad said that he's never seen that happen before.
I didn't have my camera along in the boat. I wanted to keep the fish to get a picture at home but Brad and Jerry said no.
Emmy stayed behind with Grandma Debbie and cried very hard the whole 4-5 hours that we were gone fishing. Cousin Seth was the only person that Emmy would go to. She hung onto him pretty tight. She's going through some major separation anxiety right now. Poor thing.
We went golfing on Sunday afternoon. I haven't been golfing this year and I think I only went out once or twice last year. My score would have been great if I was bowling! I quit after the 13th hole.
Emmy's cousin Caleb. Believe it or not...these two are only two weeks apart. Caleb weighs around 31 lbs and Emmy is a wee 20 lbs.
