My husband loves to fish. He knows the guys that work at the fishing store by name. They give him free tee-shirts….and sell him hundreds of dollars worth of fishing stuff “gear.” In his spare time, he likes to arrange and rearrange his tackle box…..mostly strange, sticky lures that are supposed to resemble frogs, lizards and fish.
We have three ponds in our neighborhood. Dave loves them all. He can walk to them from our house, and often takes his lunch breaks there. All I know is he comes home with mud on his boots and smells like pondmudfishoutside. But, nevertheless, I love him. And I love that he loves fishing. And I support him. And the boats he buys. (Thanks Michael!!!) That’s right, we bought a boat last weekend. Friends of ours were getting rid of theirs, and Dave had been wanting one, so it worked out nicely.
It was “a little” dirty….
But after a good powerwashing, it looked a lot better. Good enough for Loo Loo to get excited about!
Since Monday was a holiday, we decided to take her on her maiden voyage.
She floats!
Now we just need a name for our little dingy. Any suggestions?
Umm, I think The Dingy is appropriate… since I’m pretty sure the boat word is actually dinghy….. dingy is what shape that thing is in.
Hahaha, sorry, I love Dave, and congratulations on being boat owners..
darn it, I tried to make that “anonymous” with a strike-through my name to be funny since I was a little harsh. Did not work. Now I’m not anonymous or funny. Blast.
Hahaha!! =)
Dave’s boat is perfect for your tri-pond neighborhood! Nicely cleaned up and great pics of the captain at the helm. There’s just something about being around water…any kind of water, so we’re grateful that his release is very convenient!
Me too! We may need to borrow a couple of life jackets from you!

Now that is a happy man!! By the way, it’s not a dinghy, it’s a john boat. I know because your dad’s first boat was a john boat!
It looks like he is in dingy heaven!
He is! And we are so blessed to still have warm weather…he’s hoping to get out again this weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

Still waiting to hear what you named your mini-yacht!
Still pondering….
