We're Home!

And I am glad! We went to Fairfield lake this morning. We spent most of the morning fishing for Blue Gills. They were not biting. Jerry caught one really nice one, I didn't catch anything but a really nice sunburn. My legs have not seen the sun since, I can't remember when, so this morning I got up, shaved my legs, put on shorts, and spent a couple of hours, riding around in the boat. I had a great sun umbrella and plenty of water to stay hydrated. We keep sunscreen in the boat. I wasn't concerned.
After a while, we decided to give it up for the day and go to the fishfry. I got out of the boat, we trailered it and went inside the cool air-conditioned building. Then, the pain began. I noticed for the first time, in years, what a sunburn feels like. I think it will be a very long time before my poor legs see daylight again.
On to other news. The food was wonderful, the company was entertaining and we had a great time.
After leaving the lake, we drove around Teague, looking for familiar, childhood memories. We found our old house, the place where my Grandpa's house was and the old gas station where he used to buy me cokes and candy bars. Along with a few other memorable landmarks.
All-in-all, we had a very nice day!
