Rain Rain Go Away

I could use a few more days like this....where did our summer go?


Before we head out we must pay homage to Arnie. Then we head to the Angler for coffee and the first signs of daylight befor we launch.
As Daylight hits so do the fish.
Our captain a true natural. He can catch fish in a mud puddle. If he says fishing is slow you better get out there because he is wanting a nice quiet spot when he limits out.



These fellow fisher men were really far away, but with my sister in-laws camera that is really awasome I could see what they were drinking...she let me use it during this trip....but it took three months to get copies of my pictures.


Here we are getting borded waiting for fish...also this is the only good picture out of say thousands....




...Still Waitng... Still waiting....
oops waited to long...shes gotta go to wee....

Wanted $20,000

As I dropped off Tay at school today…. We followed two marked police cars into the parking lot. They were joining four other officers (two unmarked police cars and two marked cars) six officers total….not something I want to see…now I need $20,000 for a private catholic school. Yeah I’ll be catholic if it means I don’t have to see cops at a middle school.

The First Day of School

The first day of school went great. The JR high gets out 45 minutes earlier then the elementary school so it gave Tay and I some time to chat before the others got home. She had some locker problems but a cute boy helped her out with that, you should have seen her grin as she told me. Her school terrorist retired which is great news for me, and her new therapist has worked with her before and we love him!! Her science teacher is going to get her out of her study skills class and put her in another science program. She loves the staff and the school. She had an issue with some girls she grew up with, something about going to JR high changes girls…snobs!!!

Rose and Byrd spent the day catching up with their friends. Byrd ended up bringing home most of her class work to finish up. She said she couldn’t do it in class because everyone kept talking and annoying her. I hope this is not going to be a pattern, her teacher this year is pretty strict and I don’t want to be called in all the time. Rose was a little disappointed in her teachers this year, not because of the teacher but because she has been separated from her fiends. Her teachers (her two teachers job share, one comes in the morning the other afternoon) is the same one Tay had for the last two years and I am worried that their teaching style isn’t right for Rose, we will see how that goes. I hope they don’t expect Rose to be a Tay because she is not a brown nosing child she is more of a class clown.

I enjoyed a day of relaxation. I spent the day in bed reading the third book in the “Dark Towers” series (Stephen King)…boy am I hooked. Today I think I will go have coffee with my sister and wait for my brother to call…they were supposed to be here last night but never showed. I should be getting started on Girl Scouts but the motivation is just not there. Tomorrow we are having a planning meeting maybe that will motivate me.
