Honduras October 2008

I know I should write a post about my trip to Honduras. But Sara has written a few really fantastic posts telling all about the time in Honduras. If you just click on the link for Brian and Sara you can read her posts. I have added my pictures to my winkflash account. If you click on that you will be able to view the Honduras October 2008 photos. They are pretty much in order with Sara's post.


Thank you all who were praying for us while we were there. Please continue to pray for Brian and Sara and the kids. They will be returning to the States in a few weeks for the rainy season. So they have a lot they have to do before then. I am including a picture taken while we were in La Ceiba on our way to the airport.

So We Went Fishing!


Amazingly, Dad reminded me that we were going to go fishing. So yesterday we went to Wal-mart and bought some poles and a tackle box and a few of the essentials.










I called up Mike and asked if he would be willing to take us fishing this morning. So we met him at the church building this morning around 8:00. We bought some bait and we went fishing.












We had bought two poles, but Mike brought a few extra. But Mom and Dad fished together basically. I had switched the handle on the reel so that it reels left-handed. Dad got the hang of it pretty good. He did some casting, but Mom did all the baiting of the hooks.










We were out there (Cedar Point) about three hours. Dad wasn't ready to leave, but Mom and I were hot from the sun and convinced him to leave.








I didn't catch anything, but Dad caught four little ones. Mike caught a few little ones. And by "little" I do mean little. But if any of you know that Dad hasn't been fishing only but once in ten years, just going out was the best thing.










Afterwards we went to Logan's Roadhouse and treated Mike to lunch. All the while we were riding in Mike's truck we were listening to his tape of Hank Williams! So you know Dad was having a grand time - and as a result so did Mom and I.

Looking for a Good Fishing Place


I am having a good time with Mom and Dad here in Mobile. I am getting spoiled with Mom's cooking. Dad is doing his share of spoiling me as well. Yesterday he cleaned my patio and driveway and he has been taking the trash out (a job I absolutely hate). Today we were driving around and stopped along the Causeway over Mobile Bay. Dad and I talked about maybe going fishing out here. It was a little windy out there this evening. But I did get a picture of Mom and Dad standing on the water.
