I received an email this morning from a fellow stager who had just moved to the Metroplex a while back and had asked for info on Lake Lewisville. I shared what small amount I had and he stated he had gone to the places I had advised and had been somewhat successful. And this is good. But, what I wanted to share with you was what my grand dad had shared with me many years ago. I'm almost seventy nine and my fishing days are mostly behind me. When I was a little boy, my PawPaw took me fishing often. He farmed here in north central Texas and was able to fill a young boy's dreams. We fished with cane poles and red worms, dug out behind the barn. My PawPaw and I were sitting on the dam of one of the stock tanks one day and had caught a load of bream. I asked him if we had caught enough. His reply to me was: "Son, catch as many as you can and when you get old, you can always remember them." That was seventy five years ago and now that I'm in my yonder years, I'm enjoying my remembering. So, folks, what I want share with you is to try to help others out and catch as many as you can. Then, someday, you'll be in your remembering years also. Love all of you and God Bless!

I finally registered so I thought I would take the time to say hello and also thank all of you for your time and posts!

I have always been an outdoorsy kinda girl and have always loved fishing. Grew up fishing all of oregon. Normally just lake fishing because fishing for salmon, steelhead, and ocean fishing was something I enjoyed doing with my dad only for the most part! We would fish anywhere we went!!
2 years ago he passed away and now gets to sit at the fishing whole catching the big ones all day long (that's where we go when we pass according to him) ever since I have taken up going by myself.
It's different but I have had all of you and you're posts and suggestions to help me along my journey and I appreciate it!!
So again thank you

Subject: Now that I'm older:

Don’t be worried about your smartphone or TV spying on you. Your vacuum cleaner has been collecting dirt on you for years.

A recent study has found women who carry a little extra weight live longer than men who mention it.

If you can’t think of a word, say “I forgot the English word for it.” That way people will think you’re bilingual instead of an idiot.

I’m at a place in my life where errands are starting to count as going out. I don’t always go the extra mile, but when I do it’s because I missed my exit.



MY BROTHER BOB TELLS ME …. He ate salad for dinner. Mostly croutons and tomatoes. Really just one big round crouton covered with tomato sauce, and cheese. FINE, it was a pizza.... OK, I ate a pizza! Are you happy now?

I don't mean to brag, but I finished my 14-day diet food supply in 3 hours and 20 minutes.

Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.

Remember back when we were kids and every time it was below freezing outside they closed school? Yeah, Me neither.

I love approaching 80, I learn something new every day and forget 5 other things.

A thief broke into my house last night. He started searching for money so I got up and searched with him.

Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.

Having plans sounds like a good idea until you have to put on clothes and leave the house.

It’s weird being the same age as old people.

When I was a kid I wanted to be older…this is not what I expected.

It’s probably my age that tricks people into thinking I’m an adult.

Marriage Counsellor: Your wife says you never buy her flowers. Is that true? Me : To be honest, I never knew she sold flowers.

Never sing in the shower! Singing leads to dancing, dancing leads to slipping, and slipping leads to paramedics seeing you naked. So remember…Don’t sing!

I see people about my age mountain climbing; I feel good getting my leg through my underwear without losing my balance.

So if a cow doesn’t produce milk, is it a milk dud or an udder failure?

I’m at that age where my mind still thinks I’m 29, my humor suggests I’m 12, my body mostly keeps asking if I’m sure I’m not dead yet.

You don’t realize how old you are until you sit on the floor and then try to get back up.
