Good Morning World!
Six o'clock a.m. ~ we are off to go fishing on the bay, in Port Isabel, TX. Following the fishing boat, being towed by friends. Yes, it is still dark outside! Light comes fast, sun is coming up and I'm anxious to see what we will catch. Crossing the bridge, from Brownsville into Port Isabel, I comment to Joe, "Gosh, look at the white caps on the inlet. If that's the case, wouldn't you think the bay is really rough?" It's very early in the morning and not being a fisherman, the only thing Joe is concerned about is his 40oz. of coffee!
We continue following our friends to the bait shop where a purchase of live shrimp is made. Squirmy little guys. I watch the guy scoop them into a plastic bag, now feeling a tiny bit sorry for them. After they take up residence in the bait box we take off for the dock. Yup, the waves are larger; the wind is wild! So much for our fishing trip. We'll try again next Friday. Hopefully the wind is calm, but this is South Texas, so I won't count on that happening!
Oh ~ the shrimp ~ they ended up in the freezer waiting for their debut, in the bay, next week.
Back to Brownsville, to IHOP for breakfast, and home to relax in the pool.
Ahhhh--retirement!
