I had a tough night last night. The dogs woke me up about 1:30 this morning and I could not get back to sleep. I think I am going to survive. Had a great visit with an old friend from our pre retirement days, I had not seen him in a year or so and he bought breakfast. Good visit.

I had a cup of coffee with mom today and again explained to her why she was living in an assisted living center. I know my explanation did not take hold and I will have go over it again, again, and again. I know this must be hard for mom, her dementia continues to worsen. But on the bright side we did see a number of Lazuli Buntings at the bird feeder. Really pretty birds I have only seen them once in my back yard but there was at least three pair at the assisted living center, and that is only a half mile from my house.

Buddy Nate and I attempted fishing at Willard bay and again we were forced to retreat to the sanctuary of the marina. We did manage to last about 10 minutes in the main part of the bay this time. But having waves come over the bow of the boat is not my idea of a really good fishing trip. I figure we should have a good fishing trip starting this Sunday. Nate, Jim and my self head for three days at Flaming gorge. We always have a good time and manage to catch a fish or two along the way. As soon as we get back the bride and I will head to Las Vegas to see my buddy Craig and his wife for the weekend. Life is good and God is great.
