Man, time goes by so fast, Thanks Giving already.


Recommended Posts

To all my friends on the Ontario Fishing Community.  As some of you know I hunt, so something I started with our family and friends in the early 80's as well as having turkey or ham is to have  a roast of wild meat that I was fortunate enough to harvest. That to me is Giving Thanks.  Have a super nice one guys with your family and friends.

Thanks very much Guys. As we discussed in one of our private conversations Lew, a few weeks ago my wife, my fishing and hunting Buddy of 47 and a half years and having been together for 53 and a half had her open heart surgery, over 12 hours of it. Her heart was much worse than they thought. It didn't look good for a while and is still a little iffy. So things are a little somber around here. She does have a full time nurse staying with us.  She requested an elk roast for thanks giving supper with all the fixings out of my garden and my York Shires and gravy, so that's exactly what she is going to get. She is very week and needs help getting around and spends most her time in bed. Man, I wish I could trade places with her. But she has always been a very strong Gal and I expect she will eventually pull through this like nothing ever happened. Fingers crossed. I don't even know why I am posting this on here except for the fact that all my Buddy's out west here have moved on to Gods greener pastures and no one to talk to. I hope I didn't run off at the mouth here more than I should have. Seems to be a habit lately. 

If she finds out I posted these pictures of her I'll be joining my Buddy's up yonder. So if you don't hear from me for a spell you'll know what happened. LOL.

Great photos Barry!

Very Happy Thanksgiving to you both.

As we are all bragging lol., we celebrated our 50th this year. Hoping for many more. Seems like when I joined up here 20 odd years ago we were all young whippersnappers!

Thank you very much Lew, I will tell her, she knows through conversation that I feel very privileged to consider you a best friend.

Man, isn't that something, 58 years for you and Diane. Congratulations just doesn't seem like enough. These days a lot of couples get married and 6 months down the road they are consulting a divorce lawyer.

Thank you very much John. 50 years is a mile stone for sure, congratulations to you both.  I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do for Brenda on our 50th. I know I have to do something special for seldom being home with my fishing, hunting etc. and farming took up a big share of it while she stayed home raising our boys. Maybe I'll just take her fishing. She is a very adept and accomplished angler, she'll out fish most  other seasoned anglers, of course she had a good teacher Haha. Our anniversary is May 1st, a good time of the year to go, and I know she'd love it.

 I wish I had known about this site 20 years ago. Lew say's it was very interesting back then. I still act like a young whippersnapper but don't feel like one most days. My boys call me the teenage old man and I love it.  I'll take up any challenge.  Done some skate boarding a couple weeks ago. Still have the cuts and bruises to prove it from when I hit the gravel LOL.
