A turn of luck

When I made a rookie mistake while playing Wordle hours before I’m usually even awake, “my lucky day” wasn’t among my thoughts. But after that early start got us to the lake where I caught half a dozen fish — including a 7.7-pounder— I was very pleased with my day. To top it off, when I checked social media after fishing, I saw that my Wordle was pretty lucky too! #gooddayfishing #luckyday #bassfishing #wordle 

Meanwhile, from before sunrise to after sunset, the sky kept catching my eye & I couldn’t resist taking pictures. I shared a few on social media, along with some of my favorite people on earth — my Mom & Gene!! #sunrise #sunset #clouds

What was I thinking?

I had something in mind to write about. It’s gone from my mind now. I’ll have this space waiting if I remember!

Jazzy start to June!

I started this new month by extending my Wordle streak to 200, thanks to finally solving today’s puzzle by submitting “jazzy” on my 6th & last try. 

Then I walked around the lake & did some other acts of self-care & service. 

I weathered a 2-hour power outage & ended the day with more self-care in anticipation of my husband’s return from an overnight trip. 

I’m very grateful for each step of faith & progress — as well as steps of fun & leisure, such as Wordle.

Dare I say? 

Yes! Another place holder. Just in case.

Texas my Texas

 My heart is in Texas. My heart is at home is Texas. It’s time for my residence to be there too. 

A day like no other?

UPDATE: To top it off, after I stayed up to make the post on social media last night, it showed up on Instagram but not Facebook. So whatever my hope was for taking the time to post, it was mostly for naught. Yes, that’s the kind of day it was!

Highlights of today’s fishing trip included catching some good ones! I boated 8 — and probably hooked that many more that I failed to land. At least 3 that I found & lost using a Booyah Poppin’ Pad Crasher, I was able to catch when I tried again with a pink worm. So that was fun. As usual, Gene caught twice as many or more than me, & a bunch if not all of his were bigger than mine, but not enough bigger that he wanted pictures. 

Meanwhile, this trip also included notable lowlights (without pictures). Before I caught a single fish, one of my trusted rod, reel & chatterbait  combos slipped out of my hands & into the lake — and I was too stunned & didn’t react fast enough to grab it before it sank. We tried unsuccessfully (so far) to retrieve it. Catchin’ all those fish took away the sting. So by the time I fell backwards into the lake at the ramp as I was trying to help while Gene was loading the boat onto the trailer, all I could do was laugh. Fortunately, my iPhone & watch seem no worse for getting a quick bath. I was also glad to have some dry clothes to replace most of the soaked ones. #adventuresinfishing 

May Day! Mayday!

It’s May 16. I thought sure I had already made a post for May! Nope! And this still really isn’t one. It was intended as a placeholder for a belated Mother’s Day post after I reviewed my first entry for the month. Haha!! It’s all good. I do hope to write a few words soon about a great Mother’s Day weekend with my Mom coming to visit in Oklahoma.
