Memorial Day Fishing...

It is Memorial Day weekend...Les and Sonny and Bubba go fishing for White Bass, only Les catches a 25 lb Yellow Catfish. It was huge! They did catch some white bass and one crappie, but the yellow cat was the catch of the day! That Les is so lucky when it comes to fishing! D & B

Herd of Doxies....

So one day our daughter was up visiting and my mom came up too. We went out to lunch, but didn't bring anything back. So the dogs got some Vienna Sausages. You can see them on the plate. Bubba is trying to feed them all... all 6 of them. Gwen, Buff, Sawyer, Daphne, Alex and Glory. D & B

Bubba's new toy

This is Bubba's new toy. Although he says it's my boat... He did take it out today and he had the biggest smile on his face. He is in love with this toy. D & B

More snow...

It was such a beautiful morning. The air was cold and crisp, the sun was bright and warm. Steam rose from the lake. It truly felt like winter that morning! D & B

SNOW in SE Texas!

Snow in Southeast Texas! We were surprised with some of the white stuff! We always have a colder than normal winter after a hurricane, and we got it. It was really fun since we hardly ever see any snow. The day warmed up and all of the snow has melted away. But it was fun while it lasted! D & B

Goodbye old friend...

Bubba is washing our motor home, for she is leaving us for a new home. A young couple with 2 children will now have all the fun she can provide. We were sad to see her go, but she needs to be on the road again. Goodbye old friend.... D & B

starting early

In Texas, young ladies learn early in life where to go to get the 'good stuff'. Canton (First Monday Trades Day) of course! D & B

First Monday Trade Days

If you have ever been to Canton, you know this gate. I spent 3 days shopping and still didn't see it all! This is a twice yearly trip. If you can't find it at First Monday you don't need it! B & D

PS. Bubba chose not to come, he just wanted me to bring him home some hammer handles and some gecko toes.

Bubba & Jerry

Bubba & Jerry cooking again. They cooked 3 hogs for our neighborhood. It was so good! D & B

Cool Dude

This picture is for Rose. Like Bubba's hat? He's a cool dude! Love you Rose, D & B

Michko's

Time to say good-bye

Time to say good-bye, all our friends came to Michko's for a last supper. Thanks to Jack & Bev, Mark & Kathy, Loren & Luann... There's Bubba, see the next pic for the rest of our group!

Jack & Bubba

Jack & Bubba, together again. Cooking clams & oysters...this time in Oregon. D & B

Sisters...

These two are my sisters, who came to visit us in Oregon. The one standing is Karen from Tampa, the one sitting is Helen from San Diego. They both had a great time! D & B

More Crabs!

More Crabs! These are 36 of the ones we caught in one day. We are allowed 12 each per day. My sisters Helen and Karen took most of these home. D & B

Crabs

Bubba & Loren went out and got 22 crabs. They were delish! D & B

Stephanie & Les clamming

Les took Stephanie clamming, she didn't know what she was getting into. Nothing like getting your face in the muddy sand. These are horse neck clams and they are about 3 feet deep, so you have to dig fast and deep. Never knew our daughter was so adventuress. D & B

Dog is Safeway

You know, there are just some things you won't see in Texas. A dog in the grocery store is one of them, but up here it is a common sight. The dog was very friendly! d & b

Stephanie & the crab

Stephanie was not going to let the crab get the better of her! And she didn't, he was really tasty! You can tell she was a bit chilly out on the water, with her cap and gloves! D & B

Seals in the bay

There is a group of seals that live here in Netarts Bay. They will eat the bait out of the crab traps, but they are fun to watch anyway. D & B

Waterfall

A beautiful waterfall here in Oregon! Amazing place this Oregon! Today's high 67, woohoo! love this weather! D & B

Short Beach

This is Short Beach, it is not far from where we are staying! Just beautiful! D & B

In Oregon

Bubba and the girls in Netarts, Oregon. It is beautiful here and the weather is perfect! D & B

More Fish!

Bubba with Dreads???

By now you know our daughter has a warped sense of humor...she thought her father would look good in dread locks. A little something she brought back from Jamaica Hmmmm, what do you think? B & D

El Paso

We had to make a trip to El Paso and get Marty settled. It is a rocky and dry place. Out in the west Texas town of El Paso....

new color scheme

We have a new color scheme for the house...but this picture doesn't do it justice! I'll have to try again. D & B
