Casting Lines, Catching Z's, and Chasing Rainbows

Casting Lines, Catching Z's, and Chasing Rainbows

Good morning.

The boys and I went fishing again yesterday — or maybe I should say they went fishing, and I spent the morning sitting in Charlie’s seat taking pictures. After we got the boat back home and did all the little chores that come with it, we went over to my house to join the girls.

Charlie and Trent were out on the patio cleaning fish when the girls decided they were ready to head home. By the time I got back, Charlie asked me to cook up some of the fish for dinner. Well, while I was busy in the kitchen, my two fishermen — ages 13 and 14 — fell fast asleep on me!

Now, mind you, I was up before either one of them, stayed out in the sun just as long as they did, and here I was still going strong while they were out like lights. Of course, I have no idea what time they finally went to bed — they might’ve been up all night playing Xbox.

It was a good day, the kind of day that makes summer feel endless and sweet. Today, Charlie is out cutting grass, so I’ve got a little break to rest up — can’t let them get too far ahead of Pawpaw!

I was telling Lauren this morning what a good summer it’s been. School will start back soon, and I know I’ll miss all these busy, everyday adventures.

This morning’s photo was taken on Beach Blvd here in Pascagoula. I still can’t believe I was able to catch this shot — a fisherman in the early light, with a rainbow standing watch behind him.
