Tawakoni Crappie & Birds

We ran into this flock of birds as well

Lamont and I fished Sunday. It was a rare, beautiful weekend day with little or no wind.

Spring in East Texas

I have several things I love about East Texas but spring has to be near the top of the list. I had a meeting tday in Nacogdoches and took these shots of azaleas at a small church. Ours at the house have just started to bloom so you will see more later.

More from Spring Break

Some kids at the boat dock asked if I wanted their extra goldfish to use for bait. I told them I would take the fish and give them a nice home in our fish pond. Case had a ball getting them out of the bucket and into the pond. So much fun that his dad and I had to catch them back out of the pond and back into the bucket so the process could be repeated.

The columbines in the yard are doing their part for Spring

Case spent some of his spring break helping Nanny make macaroni salad. Since he made it, he ate more than his share of it.

Spring Break Fun

Joey with one of 23 Crappie caught Thursday

Case with his Lightning McQueen white bass

Melanie was home for 8 glorious days and we had a ball. Spent a lot of time catching crappie and cooking.

We saw Kody, Josh, Kim & Ryan at the Great Wolf Lodge on Tuesday (their spring break trip) and Joey, Allison and Case spent Tuesday & Wednesday nights with us.

On Thursday, Case, Joey and I went to the 2 mile bridge and tied up to a column. We took his Lightning McQueen fishing rod, put a minnow on the hook and tossed it overboard. In a few minutes, Joey looked at the rod in the rod holder and it was doubled over. He and Case managed to land the fish and we got a photo or 2.

I got to take the week off and it was just a wondeful 8 day period at Lake Tawakoni
