Thankful Thursday




We're on vacation in the beautiful Northwoods of Northern Wisconsin this week and next. Its good to spend time relaxing together with Andy and Charlie in God's beautiful creation! I'm so thankful for His provision of this place and the resources that allow us to be here. But today I am especially thankful that He allowed Andy to catch this impressive 40 inch musky right off the dock of our cabin yesterday afternoon! I'm also thankful that He provided the granddaughter of a neighbor at just the right time to hear Andy calling me to come quick with the camera! She ran up to the cabin and got me before that big fish got away so Andy has this snap to prove his story.

Do you catch and release? Don't you eat the fish?

(PS: I miss you!)

Wow, that's big! Have a wonderful vacation, Dorothy!

Dorothy said...

Yes, it was a big fish...approximately 40 inches in length!

We do practice catch and release. Occasionally we keep a fish to eat but it wouldn't be a musky as their population is limited. Besides, we've heard that they are not very good eating.
