A meme from me to you!

ByCapt. Wendy

Disjointed.  That’s how I have felt since January 29th.  I believe that is a whole month.  And today is that special day that no child really wants to be born.  Wonder how many have been born since midnight last night?

I’m off to appointments in town and am trusting the water heater will magically appear behind my house while I am gone and be waiting, in anticipation, for my arrival and its installation.

Meanwhile, would you humor me and answer these questions?  I took this meme from Heather Here and downsized it a little so your answers will fit in the comment box!!!!  So, please, indulge me!

What were you doing 10 years ago?

3 things you love to do

3 favorite toys (yours, not your childrens’!!!)

Ok, friends, I want to know more about YOU for a change.

Spring is in the air down on the bayou, and I feel a contest coming on!

    Not sure how things are in your neck of the woods when it comes to Halloween, but it is a BIG holiday down the bayou. Some folks go all out and stuff clothing to look like real people and place them on their front porches. One family stuffed male clothing, added a milk-jug head, and propped the poor fellow on top of a riding lawn mower in the front yard. Porches are covered in spider webs. Yards are full of grave markers–some with names and messages.

    Double Trouble!

    We wound our way up a curvy bayou, looking for fishy water, and around the second curve she spotted a fishy-looking current line running from the western bank across the middle of the bayou and around the curve. We drifted in, and not long after she slung her bright yellow popping cork, it disappeared below the surface.

    “F I S H O N!” Patti yelled with as much enthusiasm as a die-hard football fan screaming “TOUCHDOWN!”, and I was as happy for her as she was about reeling in that yellow-mouthed speckled trout.

    We continued to pull in fish every few minutes at that spot until boat traffic scattered the fish, making them too spotty to find. Trolling on up the bayou, we cast around a few points that looked like ideal spots for trout to be hanging out waiting for bait fish. However, none of those spots were as profitable as our first stop.

    Once we traveled to the end of my GPS bread crumb line and farther than I had ever explored before, we tested the waters. Nothing. We looked for cuts in the marsh, where the bait-filled water flowed into the bayou, carrying the unsuspecting bait to the bigger fish that awaited. We fished a couple of those spots without much luck.
