Going Fishing and Now it Gets COLD!!

[Marilyn]

There are always things we can do. It's just that this group has never been fishing on the bay and it's something they really wanted to do. The timing is great if the weather will cooperate. I keep checking and the current forecast for Saturday is low 47, high 65. It's 62 outside right now and I went out and stood in the parking lot earlier. It's not too bad in the sun, but out on the water with wet hands, I just don't know. Melissa wants to go anyway, but haven't polled the others yet.

Diana, we've been to the aquarium in Corpus several times and have toured the Lady Lex. It's also a popular school field trip destination, and a great outing, but this group has been there/done that. Besides we've been to the National Aquarium in Baltimore a couple of times, and next to that the Texas Aquarium is not so impressive.

Janet, the pregnant one is a very dear friend, Julia who is 38 and is experiencing a surprise pregnancy. She's due in August. Her only child, a son, is almost Ricky's age. She finds out in about 16 days whether it's a girl or boy. I'm hoping for a girl. She just want's healthy. She's from Russia, has been in the US about 3 years, and is concerned about her health due to not so good past medical care and is worried that her baby could have some problems as a result. I tease her that she's just a worry wart. She's such a sweet & amazing person. She graduated from music school in Russia and is an accomplished artist in paint (oils and acrylic) and pastels. BTW, she's a readhead with lots of freckles. She married a friend that I grew up with. They met online.

Hey, at least I give you something to read on here!! You get your money's worth from me!!

I say suck it up, wear a warm jacket, and go anyway! You never know when you'll get another opportunity for the four of you to all get together. So wear a warm coat and have a great time! But then again, here, if we let the weather predict what we did, we'd never get anything done!

My feelings exactly! I've been wanting to go for so long, and I'm not letting a little cold stop me!!

How wonderful for your friend to be expecting a baby...even if it is a surprise..sounds more like a blessing to me. She sounds great.
