Tex and I try to stay in the shade.


We couldn't understand how a big TV could be 7 miles down the beach--it had no guts.

Mesquite Rodeo

We were given tickets to the rodeo in June. Front section right by the chutes. Exciting when those bulls came out!!!



Surprise for me---one of the calf ropers was from Carthage. I used to teach his dad in Beckville.

Fred's Canadian Fishing Trip

Fred went with friends to Hailey's Camp in Ontario to fish. They drove and then rode a boat for two hours to reach the camp in the wilderness. One day they took a float plane to an interior lake to fish. All of the lakes were trophy lakes--release only. The only fish they got to eat was a shore lunch prepared by the guides each day.


Fred caught 3 trophies--2 small mouth bass and 1 northern pike as well as many other fish.

Trophy northern pike To be a trophy, a northern pike has to be 38", a walleye has to be 27", and a small mouth bass has to be 18"

Joe and Fred wait for the shore lunch.
