Sunday Snapshots: {Hanging on}

8.21.11

Deep thinking about hard issues (see posts here and here) hasn’t kept us from sucking summer dry. 
Someone told me recently that she’s too busy living life to record it. Guess I’m worried that we’ll be too busy living life to remember it. So, I am recording everything – much to my Macbook memory’s chagrin. Yesterday was no different.
With chores done and an opening in ical, we head out to a new favorite spot to sit in the shade and fish. No summer is complete without fishing. With one more week to make sure summer is complete, we fished…or they fished.

Lydia’s version of fishing…wading in the water with half of a fishing pole.

The fancy lures were fantastic for catching seaweed. Oh, how deceiving seedweed can be too. The snag and the weight sure can seem like a good catch…darn it.
Which meant some of the anglers became a bit defeated
or opted for something a bit more entertaining.
Little Miss Determination though switched bait to the live type (aka “bug bugs” if you are Lydia the Chinese lady)
and fed the fish for a while

Until she finally managed to hook a whale of a fish. Her first catch. That proud smile was worth all 3 oz. of that fish and then some.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
