I thought I better get the Blog done as I will be having my other eye done on Thursday. This past week I just had a grand time fishing with Pat and our good friends Wilburn & Peggy Newsome.
Wilburn and I went down to Lake Okeechobee last Thursday morning. We spent the morning cleaning up the fish house and making beds. (fire dept training came in handy). Wilburn is a retired Battalion Chief from Bradenton. Peggy is retired from First Baptist Church of Bradenton, and you know Pat.
Wilburn and I went bass fishing that afternoon and caught all we wanted. I could lie and tell you we caught at least 50, but we did not count them. The next morning we went early in the AM and were done by 10:30 as it was hot. But again we caught all we wanted, it was just great.
The girls arrived at the lake house about 8 PM or so. We were so happy to see them as we had some one to turn over the maid work to...ha! We informed them that we would be getting up at 6 AM and would try to be on the lake by 7 AM. Peggy caught the first two fish which were really nice in size. We were going out that afternoon late but the weather did not agree with us (it rained). We had gone into the City of Lake Okeechobee that afternoon for lunch and a trip to Wal -Mart so all was not lost. We played cards and had a great time in fellowship and went to bed about 10 PM. We were up at 6 AM and on the water by 7:05 AM on Sunday. The fishing was great for all of us, we did count them this day......36 bass caught by the four of us by 10:30 AM.
We went back to the fish house and cleaned up the house and headed home. It was a great week end and was really enjoyed by all. I will say this, I know that Peter was a great fisherman, but I think we could have taught him a trick or two. I hope you enjoy some of the pictures.
God Bless and be a blessing to some one today.
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” -2 Peter 3:9
