Fishin', Singin', Dancin'

School is back in session after a long and uneventful spring break. We didn't go anywhere, but the weather was pleasant enough to go fishing several times! The pictures below show our adventures on one particular outing in the boat. The weather was beautiful, though it doesn't show too well in the pictures. And the fish were biting! On this day we had the best of luck catching what some people call "Jumbo perch" or "Jack perch". We caught a whole bucketful of large 12-14 inch fish. But nothing could compare to this 15 incher landed by my dad! I'm sure they must come bigger, but this one is the largest I have ever seen! I just had to take a picture!


They weren't ALL big ones, as you can see below! Ha ha! This shot was too good to miss!
Here's the 15 inch monster again. That is a full sized 10 inch plate it's on!!!
This weekend, my mom was a cast member of a local community show put on by our Knight's of Columbus. Today I took the girls to see Meema perform! Here she is in the chorus. (She's on the right with the long necklace.)
She much prefers to make people laugh and never fails to come up with some great ideas. This year's show's theme was about tv shows. The cast members could come up with anything from any tv show. Mom chose to combine a skit by Carol Burnett parodying Scarlet O'Hara and she changed the words to "Oh Lord, It's Hard to be Humble". It was a hit!
Here's a shot of the girls while we waited between acts.
Me and my little monkey!
Mom was also in another skit, another Carol Burnett number. This time she was Eunice from Mama's Family. She's on the left.
Now this is just a community show and not everyone sings as well some. Here, Luci covers her ears during an especially loud solo. Get that mic away from your face!!!
Also this weekend, was our local high school's prom. My good friend Julie's stepson, Ben went with a really cute date! Check out the tophat and cane! Handsome devil!
Jim and Julie are really proud of Ben! He's such a good kid!
