“Can YOU Pledge To Take Someone Fishing”
Fishing with “DAD”
Fishing with Dad in Florida! “Dad’s birthday is coming up, August 1st.”
Family Fun is the name of the game!
It was very good for “Lee Sr.” to have taken the time to take his boys fishing – the time spent with the family when the kids are young is remembered – “forever.”
It was maybe only three (3) more years when Lee had a heart attack and did not survive.
That is why I believe that “One” should make the best of the time “One” has – so the survivors will always be able to enjoy the good memories – as they were made… each and every day!
I would like for everybody to remember Lee Sr.’s birthday because he was such a good and wonderful “Father” and his memory will last forever with all of us!
When we were living in Fort Lauderdale, Florida – sometimes we would all go somewhere and try our hand at “FISHING” – this is something that “boys like to do” and I was along for the ride – the “guy” … that takes the PHOTOS – and has something ready to eat, for everyone – and then will clean up afterwards – just the correct morale support to keep the “rain” away, and the good fishing, going in a very good and quiet time –
What a wonderful job, just exactly made for me to do – and even to like doing it – just for the FUN!
L to R – – – Lee, Jr., and Lee, Sr., and youngster little AL, keeping his eye on “ME” wondering around – not talking – as that would scare the fish away – if they are even out there – waiting for their dinner – so that we could maybe catch them – and then, have them for our dinner!
“What a game… that, we all play – while we are thinking, that we are all having lots of FUN!”
“GONE FISHING!”
“Did you read the sign on our door?’
“We plan on being down at the old “Farmer’s Fishing Hole” – and we will not be back home – until we get every fish – willing to take a bite on my line!”
“That’s my big brother “LEE” on my left – looks like he sees some fish coming in near this pier – so if, we are really quiet – just maybe, we will be doing what we are suppose to do – and that is to catch some fish!”
“I think that I heard “MOM” say as we were leaving home — “Don’t come back , until you caught enough fish for me to fry – for our dinner – as we each would like a whole fish, tonight!”
“I was beginning to wonder if anybody along the bank, has had any “LUCK” catching fish – as I sure didn’t hear any excitement???”
“I am sure that – I would have heard some kind of a commotion as they pulled the poor fish in – and then had to put more bait on their pole??”
“The other thing, that I was thinking about – -was, what kind of bait are they using and is it fresh – and or do they know what they are doing?”
“As you can see – I am the small fry of the Aldrich’s family, and that we all are trying to catch a good size fish – at least something for my supper –
Sure do not want to hear anything about… that, “I did not do my part”?”
“Sometimes… when we do not have good “LUCK” catching fish – my “DAD” will stop by his restaurant, and get us enough fish – and then “MOM” does not have to cook a big meal – we all can just help to set the table, and enjoy a big fish dinner –
and more than likely “MOM” will surprise us… with one of her favorite desserts!”
“Everybody just loves the desserts that my “MOM” makes –
she always does such a terrific job!”
