    An evening with the Gargoyles

    Took the family to a local lake and tried our luck at fishing. Not so good Caught a few small fish, but it was fun. And then we went swimming. I, of course had the hammock with me sooo, off to the trees I went. Unknown to me, while lounging, Mrs. G was snapping some photos.

    Are you sure those aren't bait fish that you bought at the store?

    Oh well at least you got some quality time outside and with your family.

    Duh! I thought we all had a hammock in each car, truck, and van.

    I once caught a fish about that size & talked my mom into frying it for me, even though she didn't want to.
    She said"that's not big enough to make a bite". I showed her by cutting the little fried fish into tiny little bites & savoring each one
    Looks like a great time you guys had!!!
    I too will something make and joy in it's making
