irishfield Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Great stuff Simon !!! Good to see her ticking stuff off her list that she's never? done. My mother (83) did similar... went for a ride on my brothers Harley Police special last summer and also went tubing behind the boat when at the lake with us 2 summers ago. Funny and sad all at the same time and why we should all give'r all we've got now while we still can..
John Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 That's great Simon. Cherish those times that you can spend together. I know very well how much I missed my parents when they were in the UK and I was here.
Joey Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 That's great Simon. Good on yer mom for being adventurous Joey
smokin joe Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 I once met an 89 year old gentleman at a Metallica concert there with his granson. He was asking his grandson why he couldn't keep up I guess my point is that it's amazing how we percieve the aging process. Remember when a lot of us though 30 was old, the 40, etc.... We'll all get there soon enough and not think anything of it. I agree with you both that that's where we get our inspiration, and that's why we don't think much of it once it's us!
Greencoachdog Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 That's great Simon!!! Now take her out on a good Ling fishin' trip!
Roy Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 You take care of her Simon. She sounds like a pearl for sure. We only have to look at you to know that your parents are probably nice folks. Great thread!
trapshooter Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Too cool Simon. Did you put her on some fish or what???
limeyangler Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Posted February 28, 2009 Too cool Simon. Did you put her on some fish or what??? Not yet Ben....maybe in a week or so....the baby is due to be induced on Tuesday if it doesn't arrive before that.......i'm kinda grounded fishing wise lol, but i might just be able to sneak to Thunder lake in the morning as i've worked out a direct route from our lawn across Lake Wabigoon...hopefully get my dad some trout for lunch/supper.
brkygetr Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Wicked!!!!! LOL!!! Were you drivin???...80ish???
Leecher Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Just can't ask for better timing for this special moment... your parents must be excited about the little one coming and sounds like your mom is one cool lady Want to wish you and your wife the very best for the upcoming events Now go out the back yard and put your parents into some fish LOL Jacques
douG Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Ma did the zipline through the rainforest in Costa Rica at 73 years old, along with her older sister. Whitewater rafting too.
