P-day FISHING adventure






We had a great time fishing at this private lake about 8 miles away from our apartment. We went to wal-mart and bought a fishing license. Rode around until we found a lake that we could fish at. There are a ton of lakes everywhere. And it turns out that many of them are privately owned. This particular lake, we had to pay $15 a person to fish from the bank. At first Doug paid $25 for us to fish on a little fishing boat until we remembered that missionaries can not go out on the water. So we fished from the bank. It was pretty good fishing. All the guys caught fish and threw many back because they were so little. We caught a perch and several sun fish. We were trying for bass and "crappies", but no luck. The weather was perfect and the place was beautiful. Just as it was time to leave the rain came down. We ended up cleaning the fish in the rain under umbrellas. We will fire up the little bar-b-que grill we have and enjoy a fish fry.

Yeah! for Walmart, I found some really cute baby flannel and got stuff to make receiving blankets and crocheted around the edges while the guys fished. Better late than never. Could never find a fabric store in the the Bronx with cute baby flannel.
