Oh my!
It’s been one of those weeks…
My trip to Austin was delayed for 7 hours. The plane had mechanical trouble and I sat in the airport all day (not complaining because they discovered it while on the ground). If you didn’t get a call from me to chit chat it’s because I didn’t have your number! If you did get a call I’m sorry! I can talk a lot when I’m killing time.
My embroidery was packed in my suitcase, not my carry on bag. Free time and nothing to sew! Learned my lesson on that one I hope.
Retreat was wonderful and I finished embroidering my letter “S”! But when I got home I realized I picked up the wrong fabric in my rush to get to the airport. I used Bella #60 and should have used Bella #11 so I’ll have to embroider the “S” again! Hummm wonder how long that will take me?
My husband left for a Canadian fishing trip the day after I returned. It’s been pouring rain the entire trip. Every day he goes out on a boat in the ocean, rain pouring down and the wind blowing it in his face as he tries to catch the elusive Salmon. 3 days of fishing and he’s caught 1 fish. This trip was expensive and if he doesn’t catch a fish today I’ve calculated that the salmon he caught will have cost $780 per pound. Oh wait! I forgot to add in the cost of shipping it home. He’s in a remote area and you have to helicopter in and out…25lb weight limit on luggage so the salmon will have to be shipped home. I bet expensive salmon tastes better don’t you think?

Anne, My hubby went on a 3 week fishing trip to Alaska about 25 years ago. However, there were five guys and they drove up. Rotating drivers they were there safely in 65 hours, camped in a big tent and fished on the river banks shoulder to shoulder during the Salmon run. Between the 5 of them, they brought home 125 salmon…BIG salmon. My hubby and one other guy had theirs quick frozen and kept on dry ice for the drive home. When he got here, several of the 25 fish that DH brought home were too big to fit in the freezer so we had to go get a new hacksaw and cut them in half. Here’s the real kicker…I don’t eat salmon, never have liked it, LOL. We ended up giving most of them away because due to the sheer size of just one, you had to have a cook out with 25 people to eat the darned things. He made lots of people happy that year I tell ya. Though his trip was no where as expensive as your hubby’s it was also rainy weather most of the 3 weeks they fished. They did have a wonderful time though, so it was worth it. Besides, I got a new sewing machine out of the deal…he thought he needed to bribe me to get my approval, LOLOL. Don’t EVER tell him that I would have given him my blessing regardless. *wink* Hugs…

And isn’t air travel just so Messed Up anymore?

Oh Anne, this is just the best post – I laughed right out loud at the cost of the one (1) salmon your husband has caught (so far!). You are just so funny! Hopefully, he had a good time in spite of everything.
Sorry about your 7 hour delay (you could have called me too, I would have loved to have talked to you!), but I’m so happy to know you had a great time once you got to Austin. Any pictures you would care to share with us?
Now I’m going to go poke around your site and order something! Thanks so much. (and I’m looking forward to the next installment of Henrietta!)
