Oh dear, hope all of you have speedy recovers. You are in my thoughts.

1muttsfan that brings back memories! My aunt grew several currant bushes. They were so sour they were safe from me ever snacking on them as a child. Made the most beautiful delicious jelly. Opa, thank-you for the food mill info. They are great tools just wish there was an easier way to...

Inquiring minds would love to know, have a couple of gallons of frozen blackberries. The project of the week however is Asian pear chutney. A low fruit year this year, only 50 pounds or so of pears. It is a good problem to have!

Looking forward to the smoker info!

That is exactly what I was wondering! We have had chinook pull the drift boat up river. Amazing how strong those fish are. Your canoe sounds very stable, not too wobbly netting a fish? Even with the broad flat bottom the drift boat it can get a little interesting when one of us has a fish...

That is a nice set up! How is it landing a steel head in a canoe?

Mark Twain is on of my favorite authors. Thanks for posting this, it reminds me it might be time to reread his books again.

Quiet and boring can be a good thing at times. We are having a very cool summer, more like an extended spring. I am not complaining! Especially how summer is going in other parts of the country. It is just different having low misty clouds until noon this time of year. Normally the lawn is...

Wise words Opa.

Safe travels tomorrow! What a cute pile of kittens to come home to. It is hard to rest and catch up at the same time but simply being home is a good break.

rrrmamma, you are in my thoughts.

rrrmama, glad to hear things are falling into place and you can get home for a spell.

Yes indeed Opa! Thank-you for the ray of sunshine today!

I will keep that bait in mind when fishing. Purple or white rubber worms with a tiny piece of earth worm on the hook are a good combo for small mouth bass on the local river. Can I trade you some rain for a little sunshine??? I could even throw in some wet snow. We have had more snow in March...

Wise words Opa! It is a day by day process to go through as gently and to allow as much dignity as possible.

rrrmamma, Glad the social worker has a list and I totally understand you with the convincing part. I am at that point with my mother also. My father died last summer after several very difficult weeks. Fishing, not necessarily catching, simply sitting in the drift boat, napping, watching...

Good decision Opa! 2x on better safe than sorry! If anything goes wrong it goes wrong real when the river is high. Better to fish another day. Our river levels and water clarity have been making steel head fishing hard to plan more than a day or two ahead. I have heard spring chinook are...

rrrmamma, So glad to hear your mother is doing better!

Hope you, Hope and Granny are feeling better soon! Yes, drinking lots of fluids can help but this one may need some doctoring. Please, do take care!
