"Come Heaven,Hell or High Water,But There Will Be Fishing "
I know of a fishing place.I don't know exactly where it is but I'm going there, I hope. The fishing is so good fish jump into the boat while you wait for a good "Bite." It's never crowded in fact there is only one boat there always. Ice chest and ice chest of fish, good fish.Every day there is at least one ice chest each of reds,one of flounder,one of specs and of course one of crabs.and all that is caught is instantly cleaned and ready for the frying pan.I bet ya'll are questioning me on this place but before I'm done with this story ALL will believe me.In my mind I can see one fisherman on the boat with a 2 by 4 and a wench pulling in one big red after another. As fast as he can put his line in he gets a bite and wrenches it in. So big the other fisherman have to help him put it in the boat.Theres another fisherman with a double lure pulling in 2 specs at a time. And this other one fishing flounder on a fly rod and catching them so big you can stuff them with whole shrimp.And to no surprise another is throwing a castnet and catching shrimp for those stuffings so big they go from your finger tips all the way to your elbow.But of course he is also catching smaller one for the Gumbo,(you don't want them all too big.) This place really exist,really. There is even one fisherman who is crabing and catching all female crabs for that Gumbo. But we gonna boil some cause I love them grab eggs boiled.Still not convienced huh. There is even a fisherman there who just can't do without his crawfish and he's bringing them in all hugh and so red they are black.Still don't believe me ? I'm telling you this is all true. I know all this is true and I going there. Don't know when or where but I'm going. I know how to convience you. I'll even tell you who the fisherman are. Would that make you a believer ? All of you even know all of these fisherman.Here we go the fisherman are the best anyone has ever seen, they are:
Daddy, Joe, Larry, Pat and Doc. Now I bet you believe me don't you ? I told you by the end of my story you would be a believer.
I don't know if it's Heaven, Hell or some other place but I know they are all together and that is where I want to go when it's my time to leave this world and move on. The worst part of all this is they are looking at us and laughfing their buts off because we fell sorry for them cause they are no longer with us. Think they care with all that fishing and fun going on ? I Think Not.

I want in, but remember, us girls will not be there just to COOK THOSE CATCHES!!!!
ReplyDeleteRemember, it's our heaven too!!!!
Thanks for sharing, brother another great one, love it!!!!!!!
WHAT TIME DOES THE TRAIN LEAVE? I'M ON IT WITH ALL OF YOU! HEY LIL DON'T WORRY ABOUT COOKING OR CLEANING. WHEN THEY BRING IN THE CATCH OF THE DAY IT IS ALREADY CLEANED AND COOKED AND BEST OF ALL AFTER OUR BELLIES ARE FULL IT'S AN AUTOMATIC CLEAN UP. IS THE RIGHT, PETE?
ReplyDeleteTHANKS BROTHER! ANOTHER VERY GOOD BLOG!
O.K.
ReplyDeleteLet me straighten you both up on this. You don't quiet have it right.No.1 there is no cooking unless someone wants to, like me from time to time,I love to cook. what ever you want to eat just appears in fromt of you exactly as you like it the best.No 2 there is never any need to clean up. It all just dissapears when ever you are done. And no.3 which is most important, your belly never ever gets full. Your never fell hungry but you can eat and eat and eat and you never gain weight. Be real sure ya'll tell Simone about that part. (LOL)

IT'S A GPS YOU TELL IT WHERE YOU WANT TO GO AND IT TAKES YOU THERE! I'M GOING TO LAKE CHARLES TOMORROW I JUST PUT LAKE CHARLES CIVIC CENTER AND MY ADDRESS AND BOOM I'M THERE. ISN'T TECHNOLOGY GREAT. WHEN YOU LEARN WHERE WE ARE GOING TO MEET AFTER THIS WORLD LET ME KNOW AND I'LL ADD IT TO MY GPS
ReplyDeleteRONNIE
I'll send you the address as soon as I get there for your "tom-tom" but I don't think ya'll will be able to drive there. After all the only motorized vehichels there is a Boat. So you will have to lput your "tom-tom" in a boat. But I don't know if there is any water between here and there. Man, I think I can turn this into a short story. (LOL)
ReplyDeleteLater,
Peter

Abby talks about Paw-Paw Joe a lot. I believe she met him!
ReplyDeleteLisa, I'm sure Abby has met Paw-Paw Joe. You and Guy being the great parents you are that Guy has told her all about him. Too bad you never met him. He was one great Man,Husband,Father and an outstanding Brother-In-Law. And most important for me to remember is that, he was one H_ _ L of a good Friend to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Simone has told her stories about him also. All these stories put into a young childs mind and heart becomes reality to them. Think of my "frig.note" which says:
A single thought can change the direction of my life,
for a thought held long enough becomes an attitude,
and an attitude held long enough becomes a behavior.
So let all those stories be absorbed in her mind, because right now her brain is like a sponge looking to absorbe information.
And she will believe she has met a Great Man,her Paw-Paw Joe.

When I first started reading this Blog, I just knew, knew where you were going with it and I think it's awesome. I'm glad that I don't have to cook or clean because I don't like to engage in either activity, however, I do like to eat..hehehehe.
ReplyDeleteGoing on to the next blog...see ya,
Love,
C
You think one of my two husbands could have taken me fishing with them. Just kidding, I'll wait my turn, no rush!!!!!! I often think how Pat and Doc would have gotten along together. I think great. But, I'm not sure Pat would have shared all his good fishing spots that Daddy showed him with Doc. Somethings must be kept secret!!!! Okay, I'll go for that, first one there googles the "tom tom" map.
ReplyDeleteLove Ya all,
Rosie
well, there may be lots of fishing there, but we know who is doing all the talking, It's not pat, doc, joe, or daddy......
ReplyDeletethat is a gang of few words except for the one we call brother....
Hey, Uncle Peter!
ReplyDeleteI am late catching up on your blogs. This one is terrific! Yes, I knew Mr. Joe. Guy and I were dating at the time and sometimes I would go visit just to talk with Mr. Joe. Ms. Simone was down here during the week at the time. Sometimes I would go clean the house because I knew Mr. Joe hated housework. My family went to school with Joe and my Aunt Sally was good friends with him. He was a wonderful person and not a day goes by without me thinking of him. Abby talks about him a good bit. She would have adored him!
