Awesome weekend on Big E

Kind of a late post. My Better half decided the best way to spend our anniversary was to go camping so I loaded the gear and Friday headed to Eufaula State Park for a weekend of doing nothing but to enjoy Gods beautiful gift to us. Jigged around the the fish hotel for a couple of hours with not much happening then spent the evening pampering my bride.

Up at daybreak, breakfast cooked, dishes done and on the dock at 7:30. Unbeknownst to me there is a fishing club for disabled vets and they were having a fishing tourney sat and sun. At the marina and it was packed with people. Trying to maneuver around and fish proved futile, and the bite was off so I stowed my gear in the truck and just hung out, watching these fine folks do their thing, talking joking and occasionally catch a catfish once in a while.

I can tell you, there is not a better area on any lake on this state right now that is better chummed for catfish than Molly Browns! I bet 100 pounds or better of liver, wheat balls, stink, punch and dead fish surround that dock right now! LOL

But I regress. I hung out til a out noon then spent the rest of the day the day at camp. That evening I loaded up and headed to Walmart in Okmulgee where I quickly and efficiently purchased almost $150.00 of terminal tackle and every container of chicken liver in the store. Up at 3:30 Sunday and I was down at the dock jiggin for crappie. Still an off bite but was enjoying the peace and quiet of having the dock to myself. At 6 Bill opened the restaurant and we enjoyed a hot cup of joe and visited. At 6:30 here they come ready for day 2 of their tourney. Imagine their surprise when they saw all that tackle sitting there waiting to be yanked on by a sly ole Kitty ! Never in my life, except for kids, have I seen faces glow like I did that morning!

I stayed til noon, helping, talking laughing with these fine people that we owe so much to. A small price I paid with money when you realize what they paid for our Country. A truly blessed weekend.

Kudos to you Pappa! Very thoughtful, and kind of you.

Many of us talk about the Gospel and charity and a few act. I love that so many on c.c fit the latter category. Way to go Allen!

Good stuff Allen.

Allen, what a generous and thoughtful gesture. Thank you for being such a kind, generous and helpful person. That was an amazing thing for you to do. You are totally awesome! Way to go!

Allen, great job. I'm sure this will be an anniversary that you and Rita will always remember.....dave
