F-I-S-H-I-N-G

Woo hoo! This was our next adventure ...

When the kids and I returned home, Ron called to let me know he was at Wally World buying fishing poles! Across the road and way way far back in the woods on the plantation is a fishing pond, so Ron thought we could sneak through and get some fish! When he got back he loaded up the Mule (see picture) and his four-wheeler, and we headed to the pond. I have never been through the plantation (you know, since I'm not a hunter) ... but man oh man ... I enjoyed it so much! Hopefully one day we will own some real acreage ... 200 or more ... because I love riding through it. Perhaps it stems from my love of American history, but I ride through and imagine who had been there hundreds of years ago. Ron loves to look for arrowheads, so this is something we share.

Anyway, you can see from the photos I've posted how beautiful this area is (man, I love south Georgia land), and also see Eli and his first fish!!! He caught 10 of them yesterday! He was soooooo excited ... each time I baited his pole and he put it in the water, he brought it back up with a little brim on it! Needless to say, we had a fish fry out on our back porch last night. That, too, was fabulous. Ron set up one of those outdoor cooking thingies (that's an industry term) ... you know, that one would fry a turkey in ... but we used a black cast iron skillet.

Wow ... what a great end to a not-so-great spring break.
