Some real nice fish you’re getting. I found some Sunday that gave ma a big smile for a couple of days.

We had a female calico that used to meet me in the driveway when I was backing in after fishing. She liked all the strips with bones I would trim out of the fillets and anything else I would drop her way. She lived to be 19 and was a force for anything that walked into the yard to deal with til late in her 17th year. We miss her all the time and have to take a second look every time a calico crosses my path, thinking it’s her.
