Happy Mothers Day & Fishing Success

Well, Shelly worked on this Mothers Day, but Abby and I along with Wayne & Judy went out to breakfast at Perkins before Shelly went to work.

After breakfast I came home and lounged for a while, then I decided to go try fishing again on the river seeing it was a blue sky day.

Today, I was successful in catching a nice 17" - 1 1/2# walleye along with a small mouth bass. I spent about 2 hours fishing, but it was great to catch something and to just hang out with the dogs down by the river.

So, for a special treat, I was able to prepare a walleye dinner for Shelly after work and it was very tasty! Here is a picture of the walleye both before and after filleting:

Jeff and I took our cross country skis out today; it had been at least 3 years. What a blast that was. The two pictures that I am posting were taken just moments after Jeff denied my request to abort searching out a "hike in" cabin and take the easy trail. His exact words were, "this isn't the hardest trail". It did indeed get easier, but not until Jeff took his skis off and walked up the hill and fell down a half dozen times. I also nearly did a sommersault over my right shoulder. We finally got some momentum going and Jeff fell again going down a hill in front of me. If laughter is indeed good for you, I have been healed and will probably live forever. We think we'll go again, maybe New Years day.

I just read Jeff's Dec 9 post and for the record, Jeff.....

I can if I want to. I just didn't want to mess with your stuff, but anymore wise comments like that and you'll be surprised what you'll find on here. Love, Shelly
