MOREL MUSHROOMS ARE OUT!!!

We went fishing and hunted Morel's from the bank. Found a HUGE one and about 20 others. It was so much fun, we're headed back today. Also caught Crappie & Bass to go with those yummy mushrooms! Check out my picture!

Ellie caught a fish AS BIG AS HER!

Ellie went to Grandpa Miller's pond this week with her Mom, and "Aunts" Amy & Lora to try a little fishing. Ellie used her little Nemo pole and landed a huge catfish. She called me up on her way home and said, "Mimi!! I caught a fish AS BIG AS ME!" I think it's been decided that the fish was around 9 lbs. Not bad for a 3 year old! Here's the pictures for proof! Mama helped her reel it in and Amy helped her net it. Wow! What a catch!

First fishing trip of the season didn't quite work out!

Spur of the moment fishing outing to one of our favorite pits!! First of the season!
I went online and purchased 2008 licenses, while he got the boat ready. Had to run up the street for 2 cycle oil, then run and fill up the boat gas tank, only to find out that the gas line was messed up and the motor wouldn't start. Took the big motor off the boat since there wasn't anything we could do about it today, without a trip to Wal-mart, charged up the battery for the trolling motor and off we went.
As soon as the boat went in the water and we started crossing the pit, the trolling motor battery was running out of juice. Before we got too far away and ran clear out of a dying battery, we came back to the shore, loaded up the boat and decided that today was not meant to be. We didn't bring lawn chairs nor minnows, so gave it up for another time. Of course Perry had some CHOICE WORDS for the whole ordeal, but my blog is NICE so his words do not go in here!
Guess new battery and new fuel line will be on the list to buy before we try this again!
It WAS a pretty day though :).

Ellie was using my laptop enjoying her Wiggles Playground website. I had a ebay browser minimized, (which I have learned NOT to do). She did a couple clicks and next thing I knew, she had purchased a Hardy Boys Book on Ebay. She clicked "Buy it Now" and also clicked the confirmation that she did indeed want to purchase it. I was not aware that any of this had happened until later when I got an email congratuating me on my purchase. My first thought was that someone had hacked my account, and expressed as much to Tara. She informed that nobody was gpin to hack my account to buy a Hardy Boys Book.
I emailed the seller that it had all been a mistake, my 3 year old grandaughter had been the culprit and could we please just cancel the transaction. She promptly emailed back, agreeing to cancel but also informed me that the excuse was getting old, and not to blame and INNOCENT 3 year old for my own adult mistake. I replied that I was to blame for leaving the browser open, and that my little dear may be 3 and may be innocent, but was GUILTY AS CHARGED for this incident.
