Morning ladies..........glad all your plans went well and all had a good time.

The fishing tournament was an absolute blast!!!!!!!! 83 little kids with parents fishing from the town pier. The group that sponsored it proved evry child that registered with a brand new rod and reel and tackle box.

The fishing unfortunately was LOUSY. In the 2 hour time allotment only 5 fish were caught and 2 of those by one little boy, who couldn't' have been more than 4! The water was really choppy because there was very stiff breeze coing in over the bay --- but it did keep the bugs away and make the temperatures tolerable.

When we left there we headed for the beach where Jax made a new friend, hubby caught one fish, I caught a bunch of rays and started and subsequently finished a Clive Cusseler novel.

Great Day!!!!!

Sounds like ya'll had a great day, and what fun for the kids! There's a big annual fishing tournament going on here right now-it has been advertised in flyers at all the local businesses for several weeks, and at 4:00 this morning, a gazillion boats launched from the marina 4 miles upriver (they are sponsoring the tournament) and went cruising up and down, looking for a good fishing spot. There are two boats anchored just below the cliff we are on-I can hear people talking on them. I hope they get lucky fast-all the participants have to be back at the marina by 8:00 to present their catch for judging...

Glad you had a great day too! Ours got off to an early start today. I've already walked (actually ran) LulaBelle, made breakfast and weeded my front yard flower beds. Oh, yes, and I've done a load of laundry. CG is doing his yard work. He'll be leaving late this afternoon for Atlanta. :(
