Bill - thanks for the fishing history stories, I really enjoy hearing about how things get started and the history of why we have what we have today - please don't stop sharing....very few things are the same today as they were then.
Even how we spend out $$$ on Christmas....one of my best spending memories happened yesterday when I picked up my two grand kids (Boy age 6 & girl age π since they didn't have school and mom & dad had to work...
I typed out an agenda for the day....first was playing the quiet game, this one failed π next was a trip to Cabela's to see Santa, this was an adventure in itself...the pictures were a bit costly, but a memory locked in time βΊοΈ
Then the second greatest sacrifice of all time.....I took them to see the new Mary Poppins! π We debated for hours about which one to see....as you can imagine my grandson did not want to see it.
My grandson and I were as fidgety as could be but my grand daughter sat there watching that movie in awe....that made my heart smile.....
Then we went home and had to tell G-Ma about the days events....each one excitingly trying to talk over the other....then the three of us sat in front of the TV as I had hooked up an old video game .....one was on my left and the other on my right...yeah that was $$$$ spent today, not a lot, that wasn't planned or budgeted but darn well worth it.
Heck I might even consider selling a few lures if that is what it takes to make those kind of memories again. βΊοΈ
Merry Christmas all....
