Especially with the way some folks drive these days, it's a scary world out there. A past co-worker of mine was just killed as a passenger on a motorcycle, and three days later I drive by another motorcycle accident, with another fatal death. People need to slow down around my state, they are just in too big a hurry when they drive. On a brighter subject, I've been having fun too, getting dirty in my garden, and relocating my fire pit. My children are all very impressed with how I managed by myself to move it so far! Ha! Ha! Life is so good when you get to play in it and get dirty right!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-48770385107681390032013-06-14T02:08:10.369-04:002013-06-14T02:08:10.369-04:00Your daughter yakking on you has become part of yo...Your daughter yakking on you has become part of your family history!<br />Memories!Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-87334102382519382012013-06-13T23:57:57.916-04:002013-06-13T23:57:57.916-04:00What a fine reminder!

They don't barf on me anymore and I don't miss it but gosh I miss them sometimes. I loved raising them, yet I think Melinda's phrase "catch and release" applies to more than fish. You have these kids, love them and tell them to go have lives, then release. If everybody's lucky, you get a permanent sense of measureless pride out of it...and maybe a t-shirt.Geo.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16221314320558128986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-64828717773109200522013-06-08T14:34:55.422-04:002013-06-08T14:34:55.422-04:00Hi Sage!

I fish barbless so I can catch and gingerly release. I make exceptions for trout from the Catskills however ~ still fish barbless but if they are caught they are dinner.<br /><br />BTW, I suggested they post the deep sand...especially because they do not allow off road vehicles and because some twit like myself will mentally fall asleep at the wheel. 1001 of us did so far in 2013. :(<br /><br />I love you post today. My 'kids' are in thier late 30's now but zoos, tears, first heart breaks, learners permits, even the vomit and blood and so on are all tender memories now. Funny how t-shirts or even a scrap of paper with a small drawing on it can evoke the deep love we have for our kids. "thanks for the memory"<br /><br />Delighted to hear that you will be out this way. Hope our paths cross.WR https://www.blogger.com/profile/05730763054918340998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-43945164921733240912013-06-08T14:01:45.097-04:002013-06-08T14:01:45.097-04:00Lovely memories.
