Brent's Big Fish

Last weekend Brent, Carol (his mom), and Charlie Brown went deep sea fishing out of Morehead. This is a trip that has been five years in the making - Brent and his mom went out five years ago this October, but the boat had mechanical problems, so they came in and got rain checks for their tickets. On that first trip Carol also won the free ticket drawing. So, finally, five years later, the planets aligned and they got to go back out. And this time it was an almost perfect trip.

Brent won the big fish pot - that's where you put like $20 in and if you bring in the biggest fish, you win all the money. He won $140 with a 29 pound Amberjack. Now I'd never even really heard of amberjacks - but this fish - ooo - big. He also brought in a 19 pound grouper - which - for those of you that eat fish - is some good eating - and 19 pounds makes a lot of fish steaks - yummy.

But the best was that Carol had fun, Brent and fun, and Charlie had fun. They caught fish, didn't get sunburned, and caught fish. :)

So when you're answering that question about who would you want to be stranded on a desert island with -remember my man - lol - cause if nothing else - you'll never starve!

For My Birthday

A warning - never just casually mention a homerepair project to Todd. Brent did this at dinner on my birthday and the next day we had this going on at my house . . .






God bless Todd's heart - he's a non- stop little wrecking machine. We had hard wood floor in like five hours. Now to get used to all the creaking!

Thanks Todd!

The Tolling of the Bell


Well - today is the day - and Ernest Hemingway said it best -


"Do not ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee."

So tonight is the night - dinner out and then Machine Gun is playing in G-Vegas!

And between now and then - WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT!!!! LOL
