![]() ![]() Some tours had gone OK in my opinion but when “old” Tina Turner (like before Private Dancer and shit) and when “old” BeeGees (like before Staying Alive) came into the mix, it was with those painful songs that the thoughts of crossing over a lane into an oncoming transport started coming to mind. It’s a ritual to listen to “my” stuff on the long haul and since Bren joined in some years back, it’s become her ritual to share (interfere) with that. Yeah, the new truck didn’t come with a CD player much to my sadness soooooo, I had one sent from the Amazon. Leah plugged herself into her own devices to bear down through Bren’s and my arguing over what CD was going to play next. We were up around Stonecliffe when Bren spotted the first of a few moose we’d see along the highway heading north. They’re funny guys on 106, just not “quite” as funny in my opinion but picking up more and more steam as they go.Ī sunny day for an eleven hour drive to Mattice to stay a night with the Agent Stevie Zebco and his lovely wife Amelie. She was a little trooper back then… Time would tell if she still is.?īiggs, Bar and Pasty Jamie get us out the driveway now that Doc and Woody are no more. “Dad, are we fishing walleye this trip? Hey dad, can we do some perching? Of course that’s a no this time around, well maybe some walleye? Of all the fish she caught that trip, pike, specks and walleye, it was the “little” walleyes she liked best. Throughout the long days in the boat she had books, videos, toys and the front deck to herself to enjoy them. Reeling ‘em in, having alone time with just me, exploring a little and eating treats in the boat. Homesick she’d often cry in the mornings, but I remember there were some things that did take her mind off the troubles. It was tough on the little one, hanging with just myself and some other lads, fishing ALL day, putting up with our smells and our snoring. Years ago Leah had tripped there before, her first time away from mom when she was about ten or eleven. “Kiddo, you wanna go to Nipigon with your mom and I this year?” “YEAH BOOMER!” She was pretty stoked about it, kinda surprising. And I can’t stop looking at the trip photos.īack in March I just threw it out there. Leah came along on the spring annual fishing trip, our daughter who lights up our world every day. ![]()
