Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

So I'm wondering why my girlfriend is putting makeup on to go ice fishing.....

Yesterday my girlfriend and I were driving around and came across the most beautiful rooster out in the middle of nowhere.... in the woods. Not a home in sight.
I tried to catch him.... to no avail..... he wasn't h having anything to do with that.
But heck with winter going fast.
I figure he'll be okay..... plenty to eat.... when I last seen him he flew way up on a pine tree

An Irish lady with a big list of names!

All of my Irish ancestors have first and last only. And NO variety... they only had maybe 6 girl names and 6 boy names to choose from.... (I should go back and look....)

and flaming red hair

For the same reason your mother always insisted you leave the house in clean underwear, of course.

Good morning, Pond. Umbrellas over my lily pad all day.

My hero of the day - Dick Hoyt. His son Rick was born paralyzed with cerebral palsy. Doctors suggest institutionalizing him. Dick and his wife said No Way. As a teen Rick asked his non athlete dad if they could compete in a charity race. Dick said yes and they did finishing next to last with Dick pushing Rick in a chair. Rick looked at his father and said, "When we are running it feels like my disability disappears." 32 Boston marathons, 6 Iron Man Triathlons, over 1,000 races. Rick Hoyt just died at 80 years of age. He's a hero to me.

I saw that. A truly heart warming story.

Good Afternoon, Pond!
It’s a lovely day on my end of the pond. The sun is out!

That’s so nice, you gotta say it twice!

Have you ever had a chance to travel back there? I’ve never been father than Hawaii on one side & New York on the other, but I’d love to jump the pond at some point.

I stutter a lot!
No, never been interested in going all the way over there, even if I could afford it. Besides, too much of this country I've never seen.
