Fishing Derby Time is Here!

Eldest daughter was up & at’em real early this morning to go register for the fishing Derby. Fishing pole, grampa’s boat, and a bucket full of worms, and off she went. Has until twelve noon to catch a fish, and get it weighed by the town’s folk running the Derby. I wish her well.

I didn’t bring my fishing gear, I thought the Derby was in August. But I brought my baseball glove, and we have played catch for thirty minutes a day every day since Wednesday, and a few days prior to that. It’s a lot of fun to do in the shade. Had a few really hot days so we didn’t play catch then. We are still using a soft sponge ball rather than a tennis ball or baseball, but I think we will get there eventually. The sponge ball is very forgiving if you take it off the head or face. No injuries, I like that. Plus it makes it more likely that my youngest will join us too, to work on her eye-hand coordination. Being able to catch, and throw are good life skills to have. Same with swimming, and riding a bike.

Happy Saturday morning to you all.
