Great tale, especially that last fishing trip! Whoa! I can just see your dad shaking his head at your antics. I think it's grand when children and parents share a hobby, a passion, that carries them together through their lives. You are both lucky ducks.Taradharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665801586196931603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18452695.post-1140667476694952982006-02-22T22:04:00.000-06:002006-02-22T22:04:00.000-06:00Hi Alan:)Found your address in my pocket, so thoug...Hi Alan:)<BR/><BR/>Found your address in my pocket, so thought I would stop by!!

As I read your story I could see you two being tossed about in the boat and how you skillfully put that boat in at the ramp.

We'd pile our tent and supplies in the boat and off we'd go. I didn't fish but learned to water ski at age 3 and my dad would drag me across those waters for hours. At that time, Silver Dollar City was more of a folk craft fair than anything else. I have several hand made baskets I bought there in the 70's.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the memories.Connie in FLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985782249287329273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18452695.post-1140364745029820812006-02-19T09:59:00.000-06:002006-02-19T09:59:00.000-06:00Beautiful, dear Alan.Just simply beautiful.x0x0xBeautiful, dear Alan.<BR/><BR/>Just simply beautiful.<BR/><BR/>x0x0xBlogziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01858152426566991191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18452695.post-1140359948825520512006-02-19T08:39:00.000-06:002006-02-19T08:39:00.000-06:00I was on the lake with the two of you.STBI was on the lake with the two of you.<BR/><BR/>STBsttropezbutlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12009342974253829380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18452695.post-1140352543101276972006-02-19T06:35:00.000-06:002006-02-19T06:35:00.000-06:00It is good that you had him in your life..
