My "gadget" guy got himself a new fish finder and depth locator recently...with all the bells and whistles.
and has been having a great time playing with it.
This week he had an Old Man and the Sea moment when he got something truly HUGE on his hook.
After four runs and fighting to land it for nearly 25 minutes...and fishing buddy Kenny helping get it in...
It was the largest fish he had ever caught.
30 pounds and over 3 feet in length.
The best part was, after pictures and weighing, he released the old fellow back in the pond!
Enjoyed Breakfast Company with Brenda, Monday.
Had a misadventure with scalding coffee, too. I burned blisters inside my mouth to the point that eating anything beside puddings, ice cream, milk was impossible. Finally able to do some soft pasta last night. First real food in a while. All the blisters, save the largest, now gone...and I won't be bringing boiling hot coffee to the table again.
(...note to John...thank you for the puddings and ice cream and milk...you saved me...)
Finally, back to somewhat resembling normal and no longer in pain. The good part is dishes consist of only cups and bowls and spoons. Planning a Cinderella Day to pull together the rest of the house.
The sunflower seeds outside are now poking their tiny heads out of the soil! Going to be a lovely addition to the patio this Fall.
This Week's Movie
Nick Cage like you've never seen him before.
A few extra pounds, gritty and bearded...spending most of the film bloodied and bedraggled.
A man who lost his wife ten years prior and took to the mountains as a hermit with his truffle-pig.
This is a story about life and loss and making peace with losses you cannot change.
Stories beneath stories...a lot of subtle nuances.
This is a film you will want to see more than once.
Amazing acting.
Now off to get a hot bubble bath...water the seedlings...and get this place back in order!
