Happy Saturday!

Sometimes getting out of the house is better than staying in when you're not feeling up to par, so I decided to tag along with Hubby to one of the fishing beaches within minutes of home. It was already hot & sticky when we left but down here the on-shore breeze feels glorious! There have to be well over 100 people here fishing! (Gorgeous view, isn't it? That's a ship docked at the Naval Weapons Station to the left on the horizon & Hubby fishing).

A boy about 12 years old stood fairly close to Hubby and began watching & trying to copy Hubby casting so he could cast better. (Looks like the boy is just starting out). Hubby noticed and started talking with the boy. When Hubby caught a Blue Fish, he taught the boy how to reel it in by letting the boy reel it in on Hubby's pole (which they threw back). When one of them got another Blue Fish (I didn't see which one snagged it) Hubby helped the boy reel it in & taught him how to take the hook out & tie a rope to it for easier carrying (it's a Large fish) so the boy could keep it (because the boy said he wanted to). The boy thanked him and went on down the beach towards home.

None of the other men the boy stood near as he worked his way up the beach did so much as even glance at the boy. Is there any wonder why I love my Husband?! Watching that warmed my heart.

Reminds me of the story from the Bible about teaching a man to fish and he can feed himself always. That really must have made that young man's day. Really wonderful of your hubby to take the time!
It did make the boy happy! He ended up coming back before we left. An old gentleman stopped to tell hubb's he thought it was really great of him to take care of and teach the boy like that. He is a great man!

that;s bizarre that no one said anything. i remember fishing for the first time. It was in LA off the pier, and there were tons of people. I threw my line and got TWO at once. All the little old black ladies were excited. I told them it was b/c I was a Pisces.

they agreed that it was the magic touch.

My girlfriend and I caught thirteen trout that day. I forget how many I actually caught but it was the most.

Everyone was so friendly too. They weren't tourists either. They were out there catching for their supper.

BTW, cute tushy shot of very kind and genuine man! Happy May Day!
LOL Brenda! I'd forgotten about the 'gratuitous tushy shots' :~) Unfortunately things have changed so much in this area; it's not as friendly as it used to be. Hurts my heart really.

People aren't friendly like they use to be. Sign of the times?

My neighbor walked up the driveway, as slow as a snail, never looked at me, never made eye contact, and never said hello. Bizarrio!

Good for your husband being nice to that kid.

What a great story to share Jo! Yes, you have one of the good ones!

To be able to verbalize your feelings like this is truly a gift! I just know that your husband knows.......he has one of the 'good ones' too!

:)
Thank you Brenda! I thought so too!

And Cindy, thank you too! You're so kind!

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

A Walk Through The (Dis)Enchanted Forrest (Halloween Party Post)

Welcome & thank you for visiting my post! For more Halloween fun today & throughout the weekend, visit A Fanciful Twist . For more Halloween & Autumn Fun, check out my "Autumn Tuesday" & "Halloween Thursday" posts by clicking on their labels in the left hand column. ~Happy Halloween & Pumpkin Blessings! *Update for those friends wondering, I put this together prior to surgery yesterday to make sure I would be able to post it for today! (Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun...

Not Exactly Music To My Ears and Acceptance

Went to my 'every 6 weeks' follow-up doctor's appointment with my Rheumologist yesterday morning. Apparently my heart palpitations/racing (not often, though enough to be noticeable), vision issues (blurriness and discomfort) and muscle cramps (too often & not dehydration) are "disease progression." Not exactly music to my ears I can tell you that much. We discussed my pain & swelling levels (back on the rise through the last 2 iv treatments) and agreed that my iv med should be increased from 400mg every 8 weeks to 500mg every 8 weeks. (This brings me closer to the area of 800mg, which Dr. A feels would be the max dose for me, and the fact that I'm getting closer to that mark scares me). One good thing to note, my blood pressure was "normal" for (at least) the 3rd follow-up in row and without meds, so at least that's one less thing for me to worry about (though it's like a needle in a hay stack really). I'm always on the verge ...
