you getta line....

this morning, we decided to take the boat out for some fishing. we both were off today. it was such a beautiful day, we needed to stay at home and get some much needed housework done, but resisted that, and decided those fish needed some.. well.. attention...lol!!!
after a quick bite of breakfast, we traveled to a nearby lake. we fished for about 5 hours. i caught 4, chris caught 1... yes, i won today.:). it was kind of windy at first, but turned out to be a warm, sunny, day.
after fishing, we went for lunch/supper combined. we had ribs and chicken from one of our favorite places, t-bones, on the lake. we always love to eat there. we came home and rushed home because we had bluegrass practice. we have had a busy,fun, and great day.

hi, and welcome to hump day. today is wednesday, but it is also rest day also for me. i had to work monday and tuesday. i am off today. my mom called this am and wanted me to go to lunch with her and my sister, but i really did not feel like going. i was really tired. my house really needed my attention, i needed to do laundry, load the dishwasher, and all of the other things, but i did not!! i really just kind of took it easy all day, i did have to go to the store for 1 thing, but was back home in no time.
tommorow, my friend, michelle will be having surgery. please pray for her. she is scared, but i know the LORD is going to bring her through it and HIS will is going to be done.
