For Regina

...only because she has been bugging me about writing a new post.

Frankly, I have nothing to write about.

We took a two week break from lessons over Christmas, and went ice-fishing. We did not catch any ice, we caught fish. 1 sauger, 2 walleyes, and 1 eelpout -- the slimiest fish ever. Ish. We came home early because of the lack of fish and the abundance of diarrhea. I'm not going to tell you who had the diarrhea, but it is not possible to deal with when you are living in an 8x18 fishhouse without a separate bathroom. We were on Lake of the Woods if you need some geography material for your kiddies.

I finally taught myself to knit. I'm no Regina, but I'm getting there. I made a neck warmer and slippers for the kids. The slipper pattern is EASY, but after two wearings there are holes in the bottoms. I may need to add leather.

Oh, and visit Regina. She is the blogger who created the WONDERFUL. button over on my sidebar. You can get it, too.

And feel free to follow my blog, because I am witty and a prolific writer.

  2. Thanks, I really needed this laugh this morning. I better hurry up and make lunch! I caught a walleye before - was it Eagle Lake, MN? Anyway, MN is a lovely place, but I won't ice fish - I really don't like being cold.

  6. I figured it out, r. I didn't know I had comment moderation on, so I took it off. I don't want to show pictures of the knitting because, well, I'm too much of a perfectionist. There. I've said it.

  7. So, when you say the word "prolific" what you think it means is "Pro-life-ic", as in: "I write about pro-life stuff", right? Because "prolific" would mean something more along the lines of "writes a post more than once every three months".

    So, r guilts YOU into writing too? That girl is relentless. And when I say the word "relentless", I mean "bugs the bejeezus out of me"

    I caught sauger on Lake of the Woods one time. I was super grossed out because it was summer and we were WAY out on that ocean/lake and they brought a bucket to...you know, "take care o bidness" in. I couldn't have been more grossed out and I got super sick from the waves, the holding it in, all the people on the boat, and that sloshing bucket of pee. It WAS fun to fish with those fixed poles and catch them sauger, though. Oh ya, for sure, ya know.
