Go fishing

Fishing can be an enjoyable hobby. It requires skill, knowledge and patience. But when the fish aren't biting, you get to relax as well.

Unfortunately, getting out to fish isn't always easy. You might not live near a fishing lake or creek. Or maybe your kids want to fish, but you don't like baiting hooks.

Pay a visit to Thrill of the Catch by Discovery Education. You can go fishing in various lake locations. And you get to choose your own bait.

Caught fish can be kept or thrown back. And you can view a gallery of the big ones. You will need to register to keep fish, but it's free.

The site isn't all about catching fish. Kids can also learn about keeping lakes clean. And you can even create and feed new fish. These show up in the game for you or others to catch.

Our family is growing! No, not me, not that! Check out the new name added to the list of blogs along the side here. See anything new? Click on it and see if you can figure out who it is.

Finally got my christmas tree down, it sure opens up the bay window and lets some pretty light in. And I do believe that I have vacumed the living room floor every day this week, that's a record!

This is the way Minnie goes for a walk with us!

We had a beautiful visitor on our windowsill this morning!

Sarah Beth's contribution, beautiful!

Awwww......

Homemade chicken, bacon, ranch pizza for Sunday lunch, made by my sweet little Sarah B.

she is 16, she plays her music too loud, she wears her hair down over her eyes, she talks on her phone and texts waaay too much. But I wouldn't change her for anything! I love her just the way she is!

Ya, she is smaller then a potato chip bag!

Beautiful! Cold but beautiful. At least from this side of the glass.

They only grow in Leavenworth, down by the Ohio river, I'm selling seeds.

So with a birthday like the big
FIVE OH coming up, it sets ya to thinking
about life an stuff...... I could get
all sad an upset about it an cry for a
week or I could look at it a different
way. Say you were getting on up in age,
maybe 75 or so and somebody offered you
a gift. The gift was to be able to turn
back your age by 25 years and be 50 again.
How many of us would accept that gift?
Jump at it? Grab it and enjoy it to the
best of our ability? I know I probably
would and that is how I am going to look
at 50, as a gift to be cherished, enjoyed,
and lived to the fullest! After all, 50
is still young, to some of you guys anyway. Lol

So what is a person to do all night when you sit up beside someone's bed in a dark room for 10 hours! Well, I am listening to some good music in my ear, I've had a snack, I listened to The Daily Audio Bible, I caught up on Facebook and the blogs, I got out my book to read but couldn't get into it, I texted Lois since she is the only one up too this time of night, I tried to grab a nap but that's not easy to do sitting in a wooden rocking chair, hmmm... Any ideas?

It's nice when you can come home from the salon and everybody is happy!

Nice and warm in here!

I bet you I could spill all kinds a family secrets here and nobody would even notice. I don't think this is a very popular place anymore. Where did everybody go?

How many dogs laying by the fire?
