Fishing in January is GREAT at Yates Mill Pond ! That's exactly what I was told this evening by a friend who took his 5 year old son fishing yesterday at Yates Mill Pond....every cast brought in a fish...not only for them but for five other fishermen they spoke with. Oh, and they tasted great! (Now, his daughter insists on "release" methods :-)

Halloween 2011 with my 2 year old granddaughter - what a hoot!
She can talk up a storm now; paragraphs even! She knows the order of things to be done when preparing for bed time; bath...bubbles, washing armpits, rinsing just right, brushing teeth with the tooth brush, then brushing with the "sweeky" thing, bear and bunny in hand, rocking for a bit with classical music playing, etc, etc.
Then comes this second Halloween evening and she's been prepared - pumpkins, "bee" costume, a bee says "BUZZ" (one time BUZZ; not twice or three times...just once!)
AND she's going "trick or treat" for chocolate....now she eats almost all "organic" foods; fresh vegetables - even likes cauliflower!
BUT she knows "chocolate"!!! That's a problem when you give an inch to kids...they don't forget that yummy stuff.
So after "trick or treat" with the millions of other kids in their neighborhood...there was a brief "good" food dinner and a lot of funnies...here's the best picture of the evening.
I know this has been going around but it's the first I've read it - and I did laugh out loud!
Here's hoping it will at least bring a smile to you today :-)
RETIRED HUSBAND
After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target.
Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse.
Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Target:
Dear Mrs. Harris,
Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Harris, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras:
1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away'. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money.
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.
6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers they could come in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged. 8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' EMTs were called.
9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.
10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.
11. October 3: Darted around the Store suspiciously while loudly humming the ' Mission Impossible' theme.
12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.
13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!' 14. October 22: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a
fetal positionand screamed 'OHNO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'
15. Took a box of condoms to the checkout clerk and asked where is the fitting room?
And last, but not least: 16. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, and then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.'
