Wow Weds.

It started as a very foggy day and turned into a physical and mentally exhausting day. But no complaints as we had fun. I got up first thing this morning and the fog was terrible. I was outside and saw one of the cows had a new calf. The calf was adorable and I couldn't resist grabbing my camera and taking a few photos. I then was getting ready to run to town when I received a phone call from my Brazilian friend that her new daughter in law, Ana was homesick and having a hard time. So Michael and I picked Ana up, took her to lunch, ran errands, did a bit of shopping (we needed night crawlers (worms)), and brought her to the house and went fishing. We were back at the house in time for me to make dinner for everyone. Yes Fred came home this evening. I then sat down with Ana and we worked on her English. She doesn't speak English but she did FANTASTIC today and tonight. She is learning and with patience and hard work will speak English soon. I will probably in turn learn Portuguese as she has been teaching me!! LOL...Now if I could only learn Spanish (Tex-Mex) my husbands family language I'd be doing really good but after 4 yrs it still alludes me. I'm just not a language person, ugh!!

Michael with one of his fish that he caught. If you can believe it my 4 yr old son outfished me today, LOL...that is slightly embarassing!! But alas I was the hook baiter and barely had time to cast my own line in the water.

There is funny story to this fish. She loves to fish and when she caught it she was just tickled about it. I walked over to her and she started freaking out and I thought what is going on...She likes to fish why is she so frightened of it...Well I glanced over my shoulder and (lol) there was a snake not 3 feet from us in the water eye-balling us, Ekkkk....I swatted at him with my fishing pole and he disappeared!! We both laughed at it because here I thought she was afraid of the fish and it was a snake...and her not speaking English she couldn't tell me what the problem was....We saw probably 5 snakes down at the creek today...I have never seen that many down there and I'm still not sure why they were there...We really had to keep our eyes open and after awhile we had had enough!! It isn't much fun when your trying to fish and you have to keep watching for snakes!!!

I love this photo of Ana and her fish!!

The newborn calf.

It was foggy and the hazy photo was not the fault of me or the camera.
