I took two of my grandsons over to Norris Lake to join my brother Homer for a day of fishing out on the lake. \u00a0This sign hangs in his houseboat which he bought in 1991. \u00a0As I spent the day with Homer and Elijah, (Wes and Rhonda’s son) and Ben, (Scott and Diane’s son), \u00a0I was reminded of how true that plaque is in my life. \u00a0My third grandson, Cade (Clint and Catherine’s son) was tied up with soccer pratice, and sadly couldn’t join us!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A peceful day on the water with Homer running his trolling motor and the boys fly casting was a great time to be had by all!<\/p>\n

I want to thank Homer for getting up so early, (4:30 am), to meet us at his houseboat and provide this fantastic grandfather\/grandson experience for us! \u00a0I sure wish Cade could have joined us, but maybe next time!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not bragging, just thanking God, but I truly have it all!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
