Lots of fish were biting this day. I am starting to enjoy boating and fishing solo. It can be pretty peaceful but its still nice when I have someone to go with.  I really love it when the water is smooth as glass. There probably isn’t too many more good weather days to fish this year so I am trying to soak it all up as often as possible.

I was casting with one of my favorite lures. I would have liked to pull in the fish that the scale above belonged to. O-well it was fun at least tugging on him for a moment. Maybe i will get it in the boat next time.

I caught several small cats and sheephead as usual. I wish I could figure out how to catch some walleye. Guess i just have to keep trying different spots. The spot I was fishing here is only 4 - 6 feet deep and I know that its not likely for walleye to be in the shallows this time of year.

Today I mowed the lawn. Not sure why I am posting this pic I just saw it in my pix and thought what the heck. LoL It started to rain a little while I was mowing but I got lucky and it stopped before the grass got too wet.

Guess it is just fun to make posts! !

Maybe one of you reading this would like to have some fun and make a post on here sometime. If you would just ask I would love it if someone else would share pix and post friendly.

Do you remember this day July 15th 1999?

We were celebrating Grandma Faherty’s birthday.  Just you and me. A day I will never forget and a Lucky one at that. You drove us to the casino in your white Firebird T-Top.

You were the first one to hit it lucky that day and on a dollar machine to boot But…….

Then I turned around with a big jackpot on a dollar machine close to you. That wasn’t all…….

Next thing I saw you waving me over and hollering PATSY. I won again…..

I sat down at the machine next to the one you won on and got lucky once again and hit another good spin.

Just two sisters in our bib overhauls having the time of our lives. celebrating grandma’s birthday the way we know she would of wanted us to.

A day full of happiness, good-times, smiles, togetherness, love and lots of luck, kinda fits Grandma Faherty to a Tee, don’t ya think?

Aunt Fern is having surgery today on her shoulder, just want to say a prayer for her. And to wish her a quick recovery as soon as possible.

Lots of Love and prayers always.
