this is another wip == guess all the stress of working on the house has made some of the colors of my pens come popping out into some color and different fishies.

speaking of fishies -- one of our youngest's friends stopped by not long ago and gave us some fresh fish that he had caught a couple days before..super good striper, and found some of my favorite seasonings to coat it all with. 'm tellin' ya it was the best fish that 've had in a looong time -- we used to go fishing a lot when we lived down further south, but the cost for fishing licenses here is out of sight..and since we have a series of lakes around where we live, naturally each lake needs to have a seperate license. or...just extra money for the city. miss going fishing 'cause it was one of my nice times..quiet out where we would go and usually caught maybe 1 for the entire day...but the peacefulness of the river or pond was wonderful. usually threw back whatever caught.

'm having nothing but problems with my 'puter this afternoon...it keeps wanting to freeze up on me, and some of the letters on the keyboard are not working...
