Fishing lessons

The demand for more fishing pictures has been overwhelming! Mostly it comes from my grand-daughters and also my imagination, but so what, eh? Here are some "hall of fame" photos that each come with a memory, sometimes with several layers of them. And also a little lesson and a confession.

First a lesson about building memories. It's the glue that will often bind families in ways nothing else can. Great memories of happy times connect us in powerful ways. It is very true that no other success can compensate for failure in the home. And put another way, few other lessons can compensate for the positive effect of great family memories. And pictures are memories.

So now the confession... It has never really been about catching fish, or re-building jeeps, or even dancing in the Nauvoo pageant (even as good as I was!). It was really about having fun as a family and building some great memories that could be there during the occasional hard time. Now enjoy the memories one more time.....

The worms sometimes need a motivational talk to get them to do their job!

Nate is practicing "catch and release" sportsmanlike conduct! (I am standing off to the side with a large cast iron frying pan... just in case!!)
