“GONE FISHING!” | Grandma’s Stories

Mar 11th “GONE FISHING!”

“Did you read the sign on the 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 the 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 that are trying to catch a good size fish – at least something for my supper – sure do not want to hear that I did not do my part??” “Sometimes when we do not have “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 “MOM” makes – she always does such a terrific job!”
