Of Fish and Frustration
Hey guys! Sorry I didn't post for the last few days, but we've been trying desperately to snag one fish on either of our rods, but so far, they've proven to be very elusive... We're disappointed, but not defeated, not when we have six or seven weeks left in our transcontinental road-trip. Aside from that, we've been watching 24 on DVD every night; we're currently halfway through season one. I can tell that we've finally got Dad hooked on the show that Mom, Philip, and I have been addicted to for two seasons. Last night, we had a delicious dinner of barbecued chicken. With Dad's guidance, I grilled eight chicken thighs. Philip also helped; he applied the barbecue sauce, the most important ingredient in the recipe. It was finger-lickin' good by everyone's standards. Today's just going to be a relaxation day for everybody, a fact that I'm glad about, because we've been doing so much driving around Yellowstone. The fact that we can just sit and enjoy each other's company for one day makes me happy. This is Spencer Paige, signing off. Keep following, people!

Hi, So nice talking to you , Mynn. Now along with the blog, we are very informed. A day of relaxation never hurt anyone. We had a big "blow" here today but no rain. Dad has his poor man's watering system going and it works great on high tide. We hope you have a good trip tomorrow and look forward to the next installment. Love, Gram
ReplyDeleteSpencer - you must've inherited your mom's talent for prose.... very enjoyable for those of us stuck at home. This is like getting one of those long descriptive family letters at Christmas. I really enjoy it. Keep it coming!

They now have you driving the truck Spencer? That's cool. Don't give up on the fishing. You will eventually catch something.
ReplyDeleteDon't give up. You'll catch some fish. Be careful though. You have watch out for bears while you're fishing. Sometimes they will attack fishermen for no reason. Like in this video:
