Home for alittle while
It took two weeks to finally get home.... Nathan picked me up from the airport and he was sporting a gotee.... He worked really hard on it to make it look good, but Im just not used to seeing him with hair on his face. To me he will always be that little boy who used to wake me up at 5am demanding breakfast at the top of his lungs. I am however very proud of him and look forward to having more time to spend will all my kids. Jon, Kanien and Marcella came over as much as they could, I really appreciated that quite a bit. The first week was spent just trying to get onto the same time zone as the rest of the family. Dave and Rose invited us over to dinner and it was a very fun time. Jason had grown and is trying to make his way in the world of girls...sometimes I think he should slow down and relax, they will still be there in a couple of years. My Mom and Dad came over and that was a special treat, I miss them most, and love when they come to visit.
During the second week I went fishing. The first picture is Nathans fish from Wednesday...it was a good fish and it fought hard to stay in the water coming in at 10" and lots of sharp teeth, it was a nice rainbow trout.
This next one is the one I caught while Nathan was showing Amy around Causey Res. It was a 22" Kokanee salmon. I caught her on the first cast into the res. David was standing next to me when it happened or he would not have believed it. after I got her off the line I gave the fishing pole to him so I could show off to Nathan...
Marcella was not sure who I was but somehow I was grampa... but I had a mustache and she didnt like that at all. Every chance she could she asked for a fish (candy swedish red fish) by running into my office and pointing up to the jar of fish on the top shelf and making fish noises with her mouth. it was so cute. She eventually got over the initial fright and came to touch my mustache every chance she could. She would give kisses but it tickled her every time.
Over all it was a good visit home. Everyone got along long enough to have fun and that made the visit nice. They say that I will be done in July or August. And then I will be retired in 13 months 12 days and 16 hours after that. but whos counting.
