Life's a Stitch

Summer stories from the water, first one is a fish tale. Logan Lake has become our camping home, the place we stop between our house and BC's interior. It's a pleasant small municipal campground with a stocked lake. Chuck spends a fair amount of time on the dock, meeting other campers and exchanging fishing experiences. He put his rod down and turned his back for a brief moment and splash! His rod and reel was pulled off by a trout and away it went. Not the Walmart equipment, but the Cabella's rod and reel that was a Father's Day gift.

Along came two guys in a boat who pointed to the general area where they saw it on the bottom of the lake. Thank goodness for BC's crystal clear water. With the his largest hook and a heavy weight, he started casting and dragging. On the third try, voila! Up came the rod and reel and attached to it a good sized trout! You might think this uniquely near impossible, but  SIL Sean had the same experience last year. Add in the few traditional prayers said to Saint Anthony, the patron saint of lost objects…

The second story belongs to SIL KC, trying out his new inflatable paddle board from the beach, a ten minute walk from our house. While on the water, he discovered his sunglasses no longer on his head and his fitbit missing from his wrist. Luckily a swimmer with goggles was nearby, and after estimating distance, was able to retrieve the glasses. The fitbit wasn't to be found. Three days later KC was determined. Unbelievably he located it on the rocky portion of the beach. Three days of tides and wind had washed it ashore. 

Two happy guys!

Sausages on the beach have become a tradition when the kids are here.
