Dumb Fish

So on my mom's property there is a little stream that runs through it. Andrea was over here and we went by the stream and saw this large fish in there. We thought how cool we would be if we could catch it! Andrea first attempted with her bare hands and would have succeeded but was grossed out by its sliminess and dropped it. We then got this crate and I used a plastic toy shovel to keep the fish moving forward. We were out there literally an hour trying to catch this fish. It kept swimming away but then would come right back. At first we thought this fish was pretty dumb to keep coming back, but after awhile I started wondering if we were the dumb ones. Was the fish just taunting & laughing at us? But at the end, we concluded that it was indeed a dumb fish!



By the way, we didn't eat it. It was returned to the stream, and it swam away quickly out of sight. Finally.

How hilarious! I can just imagine the spectical. Hey, I think I'll be ready to start back here probably next week. I REALLY need to, I've been afraid to step on the scale to see just how much I've gained, why can't I just lose weight and keep it off? Anyway maybe we could do your idea of each setting goals, although I have to say that you look fabulous!

I don't even want to think about what might happen on a nice picnic by Salem pond. Those poor fish. . .

I keep finding myself feeling really bad for that poor little fishy. He should have tripped you two and made you go for a swim in that lovely clear stream!
