Continuing with my fishing explanation from yesterday, I need to explain a few more things.
1) These are not current pictures.
2) The last fishing trip was last month.
3) Because it's just 2 dang hot to sit in a boat at 102 degrees.
4) Or it's rained practically everyday the last two weeks anyway.

Definition of bass fishing :
What you do when you need to get out of the house, take a boat ride, enjoy the sun, work on your tan, get dinner all at the same time, and show 'em how it's done with a 5 pounder.

You have to take the good with the bad.

The bad which means no bathroom facility, eating your lunch with hands cleaned with towelettes, and refusing another ice cold bottle of water because you have to potty soooo bad .

The good means spending time alone with your husband, having your phone for texting and picture taking, and having a good time.

The Grad

The graduate is beaming bright tonight as we watch the ceremony.



All lined up in a row to cheer her on. His parents, her parents, 1 brother, 1 aunt, 1 cousin make for a nice get together.


 Thanks you two for being there too.


 Jennifer and Chris after 2 years of studying, tiredness, and almost no social life has finally seen the light.


 Congratulations Jennifer!!

F.I.S.H.

It's spring time and a lot of stuff is going on. And we threw in a little fishing on the side.. It was not a keeper. It measured too long and too big.   The lake regulations read you have to throw them back. You can't keep the monster. That is strange to me --- it's just a fish.

Bass
5 pounds 9 ounces
21 3/4 inches 

Chris took the catch of the day.

More Birthday

A day out with family.  For birthday dinner at Maria's Mexican a while back.

It was delicious.

Happy Birthday Bobbie and Ginger.




We had other plans to continue the celebration day, but it was cold, wet, and rainy. So we opted for a quick drive back to Bobbie's house for warmth, dessert, and relaxing.
Ahhhhhhh,  nice.

We're having a baby, too!

Congratulations Jennifer and Chris.  How exciting for yall!
And waaaaaay exciting for us!



But it's not all about me. It's all about the mommy-and-daddy-to-be.
But around September 27  it will be all about the baby. And this nana can go wild spoiling this lil' one. Why wait? I can start the spoiling now.

Rewinding the week

Last week I enjoyed my early birthday cake. Nothing's wrong with getting older. I love it. I love birthday cake. And my kids never fail me by "surprising" me with my Gambino's birthday cake. Besides being so pretty, It is delicious.



I cut and serve the cake and even made rounds for seconds.


Made a trip to one of the top 10 places on our list to eat for my personal birthday dinner. It was quite the surprise. We got in the truck and on the interstate and started driving south. The husband already had it in mind where we were going.


 Just me and the husband. No kids invited. No family. Just us. Lovely. Delicious.




Made a quick detour downtown to husbands former work place for business he had to attend to.
It was nice taking in the views while I sat in the truck waiting. He is going to miss this place I think.

 The mail man must have know it was my birthday. A package was left for me. Thank you

Tomorrow is my big day ---

Ketchup

A lot's been going on.

Did I mention we've retired?   Well, technically, not me. But husband has retired. With a 6oth birthday celebration in January and a 42 year career with his employer he has officially become a retiree.

I consider myself retired  too. Cause I am going to take it easy by slacking on the cooking, cleaning, and anything that has to do with housework.

We've been doing some fishing. It's been nice weather --- in the high 60's, like 68 degrees.

We've been doing a lot of eating out.  We really have to get a handle on this retirement thing. We have no structure in our life. Eating when we want and where we want. We don't even know what a noon time lunch is anymore.  And sometimes we just skip dinner.

A few projects around the house is coming together.

It's only been a month, but retirement is fun.
