Back to school day here. My 8yo was super excited, but then, she is a little social butterfly and loves being at school. Had to get one final hurah in up the mountain yesterday though. Bought her a new pole for the occasion, she graduated from her barbie kiddie pole to a spinner. She even caught one all by herself!

And also this guy. He helped me reel a few in.

Nice! I just bought my oldest two each a spinner real. We’re going to go try them out this weekend if weather cooperates.

The good life, I hope you get the perfect day! :)
We hit some weather, luckily we just hung out in the car and ate lunch while it blew over. Tell you what though, the kids were not ready for high mountain lightning

that first BOOOM and they were a little scared, i had to coerce them back out of the car once it passed.

Those are the memories that remain with you and them forever.

Speaking of that essence... There is a fairly large meat processing plant a little less than a mile up the road from our facility here. It was very auraful this morning.

Masticated, chymated boviculated pasturage 'll do that. ;)
I thought that was quite fun, any and all comments related to bucolic myasma were purely in-jest and should in no wise be applied in the litteral. I had a good friend years ago who had a surprising breadth and depth of vocabulary with whom it was fun to have the occasional loquacious repartee, and thought to replicate such lexical exchange here. It was not as well received as i had hoped. Back to the hillbilly/redneck talk fer me sounds like :)
