Today was a busy day! My family days are numbered… in less than two weeks it is back to my oversized island somewhere in a far away world…
This morning I went ice fishing, thank goodness no one caught anything! I grew up running barefoot up and down backwoods creeks, fishing was a natural part of the process. So even though I can no longer be strong at the sight of something wiggling on the end of a hook… I’ll still go hang.
… it’s just how I was raised.
I must admit that I was the baddest bitch (and the only bitch) at the ice fishing tournament I attended today. There were literally no other chicks in sight. One of the benefits of this was the swarms of random men offering me free drinks which I naturally accepted… because who wants to be rude?
Don’t get me wrong though, I would never attend 
an event personally unprepared… I had a thermos half full of whiskey
with much to share. I can’t believe I hadn’t attended an ice fishing event sooner!
After the derby I came home and cooked dinner for everyone in my immediate family… we’re actually all still hanging out so my blog’s a bit short today… no poetry.
Sometimes you’ve gotta put certain things on hold because the ones that mean more than you can actually express are right at your fingertips…
… hope everyone had a lovely weekend blog family!!
Gretch I just love the pic of your family. Your poor dad, surrounded by sooooo many women !
Ha! Cheers Cathal, today is his 68th birthday 🙂 I wish I had a dollar for every time I’ve told someone I’m one of five girls and gotten the response of ‘Your POOR father!!!’
