Skipper and I went down to Freeport to do some off-shore fishing Wednesday night.. we did some night fishing, but didnt catch anything... we went out again on Thursday and had a greatday of fishing. We caught 1 jack fish (not good to eat), 2 king fish, 1 baby snapper and a couple of hardheads.all in all a good day of fishing !!

along the way we saw a sea turtle just hanging out on top of the water I took a few pics and then he was gone.

The Solar System

Payton's 1st school project... The Solar System

we took him to Hobby Lobby and purchased all of the materials needed to create a solar sytem model. from there we rushed home so he could start painting the different pieces. he did all the painting (i did help with mixing paint colors to acheive the color he wanted) and then he was to label each planet and put them in the correct order... he worked on his project for 3 nights and delivered it safely to school yesterday !! he is so proud of his project and we are so proud of him and all of his efforts !!

Go Payton !!

Plumeria...

I went to Hawaii in 2001 for my grandad's funeral, he was entoured in the USS Arizonawhile i was there , my dad asked me to bring him back a Plumeria plant for him to grow, so I did. His plant is now a huge tree and this past visit , he gave me two clippings from his plant. They are doing great.. they love the sun and one has even started blooming !! If you havent ever smelled a plumeria.. it is the best smelling flower !! It is what the leis are made of in Hawaii. They come in several colors..

My dad wrote me ..

From Hawaii to you, from you to me, from me to you.. a love circle !!

i wish you could smell this flower !! wow ~~

one bloom... with probably five more on the way

I am so excited !!

it brings back so many wonderful memories !!

Me and Trish...
