Very Blaahhhh

This week has been very blaahhh. I don't know what it is, but the kids and staff have all felt it. We are having a community dinner on Monday and the student council kids are okay with running it off the cuff- no planning or anything which is very scary for me. We went down to Ram's Creek yesterday to catch some Silvers and I got snagged on lots of dead fish. Then we got two fish and had to bleed them and then fillet them on the beach. I hated it and if I had any culinary ability I would become a vegetarian. We even got the heart out of the fish and it beat on its own for about two minutes. Some kids from the 6th grade class came down to help us and we jigged a few more. These fish don't bite, they are spawning and so you have to jig the line around till you catch one- which might be by the fin or even the tail. We only caught two fish and there was very little meat on them (12 and 20 pounds respectively). I am kind of done with fishing, I would like to dip net and get fish, but this fishing pole stuff is beyond me. Today there is a volleyball scrimage and then we are having dinner at Marty's. Finally later tonight I have to go down to the docks and get my food that I ordered from Costco.

Hi Dana,
Finally got to see your blogs and comments - great. I was not typing address in correctly. Things sound so interesting and wow - three planes in one day - scary, scary, scary!!!! I am at your Dad's and had some of the blueberry jelly and am enjoying the salmon berry jelly he gave me. Thank you very much and they are delicious. Hope school is going well, with such small classes it must be great. I will get in touch every few weeks now that I hopefully can maneuver my computer at home. Always questionable. Take care, Dana, and keep enjoying yourself and life.

Love, Angela and your dad
