Stephanie, get ready to take Stephen’s picture with his fresh catch!

Young man, said the farmer

You’re sort of a fool

You’ll never catch fish in McElligot’s pool.

The best surprise is no surprise.

I just noticed – Stephanie seems to be giving Stephen a middle-finger salute!

Hold on thar, we gotta check it for size!

Stephanie laments the “teach a man to fish” proverb.

Stephen has the right idea, if you are a Trout fisherman.

Me, i prefer to sit on the bank of a pond or lake to do my fishing.

Under a tree.

With a cold beverage.

So who’s going to be the one to clean it?

Come on Stephanie, get on board.

Stephen’s fishing with no bait, if you know what I mean… ☺

Stephanie wondered what was in that Amazon shipment Stephen got yesterday.. now she knows.

Reminds me of my Grandson at Christmas time, when he was very young. He got a toy fishing poll with a magnet on the fishing line along with magnetic fish that float. Pretty soon after he and my son disappeared. We found them outside play with it, fishing in the hot tub. It was SO cute! But this guy has a few bricks short of a load if you ask me.

Excited, isn’t she?

I’ll bet it tastes like cardboard, she mutters.
