My dad poses with a 25-30 pound Snook. He's been trying to catch one for a dozen or so years and now he was bubbling over when he talked about this one. It was released back into the water as it's a protected game fish. Apparently it's about 75-80 degrees and sunny down there and my folks have had sun and pleasant breezes for over a month.
This was my view this cold, 24 degrees F, morning on my way to work. Nah...I'm not going to let this bother me. I'm just going to enjoy my mom's pictures.

Wow, good for you. Way to see the glass half full.
Speedy recovery!!!!
I'm sorry you missed out on the fishing trip. :-( I hope your shoulder gets well SUPER FAST!
Now...the truck in front of you, that's just funny! Of course, that's my type of humor. lol
Your dad looks like a little kid displaying his prize!
But, the Potty Queen--now you wouldn't have wanted to miss that priceless view by wasting your time lolling about in that dreadful heat and those hot breezes. ;)
Never fear. I hear rumors of spring.
:):)
That's a great pic of your dad. He looks so proud...and has reason to be. That's quite a fish.
We had temps about 10 degrees lower than yours this morning...and we still have snow around. (i'll trade you this truck for a gas drilling truck that's hauling fracking water and lots and lots of chemicals)
I hope the rest of your day is a sunny one. Take care of that shoulder. *hugs*
My parents are permanently vacationing down there. Have been since 2001. When it's freezing and snowing up here, they call to say they just came back from the swimming pool. They like to rub it in.
So I know exactly how you feel Iggy.
I'm sorry you missed out on the fishing trip, but glad you're thinking positive! :)
Bless your heart Iggy, so sorry you didnt go on the trip because it sure does sound fun and WARM. I would love to catch a fish like that one day. Thats funny Potty Queen, glad you didnt let it get to you and I sure hope you are having a good week HUGS
holy shit????
that was one big Snook!! Sounds like your parents are enjoying their time and the weather but like your attitude too!! It is sometimes good to be behind the de-icing truck or gravel truck; they help "pave" the journey ahead
cheer up, spring is sooooo close!
betty
Well at least all your snow is gone...right?? I miss the south's warm weather too.
Huge congrats to your Dad's big catch!
Hugs!!!!
OMG you made me laugh out loud at the potty queen picture. How appropriate.
The look on your dad's face is priceless!
Spring is almost here... weeks away rather than months. Hope that shoulder is feeling a bit better each day. And as always - keep on keeping on. Yea you!
Boy that looks like a nice vacation. Sorry you missed it but I'm glad that you are better enough to get back to work. Even if the biggest exhertion is excercising your brain and tapping at keys. Praying for a complete recovery and an extra long vacation next year to make up for this year.
Blessings
Heather
You have a great attitude!
PS. So glad you are blogging again. We've missed you!
Okay, this was hilarious. LOL Potty Queen? Your dad LOOKS happy in that photo....if you can't vacation with them, can I? Please? Do they see adoption as a positive thing?
Potty Queen. Nice to know there's still work for honey dippers.
Hi Iggy!
That's some catch your dad has there!! Congrats to him! Sorry to hear about your blankety blank shoulder, sure hope you are all better soon!
Yeah, I just got back from warm and sunny LA and was greeted by wind and rain. Blah. At least it's sunny today, buuuuut you can only enjoy so much of it when you're stuck in a cubicle. Hope you had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed some relaxation of your own :)
Your Dad seems happy..and warm..and look no gloves or coat..and nothing is frozen. I am sorry that you are missing out by going to therapy...is the shoulder getting any better at all? :)
I don't know if the shoulder is getting better or not. I can just barely move the arm enough to reach into my own pockets - its very stiff - but fortunately, I'm not in any pain - I'll take that for now.
:)
I had to enlarge the potty queen. Pottstown PA. Now I'm going to go to their website. ha ha.
If you're going to go into a stinky business, have fun, yes?
A shame. The warmth of the sun would have felt really good on the sore shoulder.
Focus on the pictures of the warm sun. A little mind over matter never hurt anyone! And sometimes I prefer living in a fantasy world, so think warm thoughts!
