Farine waved excitedly at Billie enjoying the lake already.. 'HI! HI! Are you okay with us as the outfitters choosing the gear for you and your Dad? Because you can pick tent colors or what have you if you do care. Angelo and I have done this before lots so we can choose for you if you just...

Angelo was delighted they already had experience with the area.. He would look up Lake Champlain on his phone before leaving cell service so that he would have some talking points with their vacation. As far as not bringing their canoe with a motor, that was a mercy. Some of the areas they...

Angelo strode up directly to Billie and her Dad .. as he had never left the area and offered to shake each one's hand in turn. "Welcome.. welcome! " He was eager to enroll them. Seeing Billie immediately test the water put a smile on his face.. "Farine will be here momentarily. She's...

Angelo hefted the gear out of the bed of their truck and out of the totes which lined the bottom of the canoe trailer. If they were only bringing gear for two plus a little more for insurance, their extensive plans had to be reworked on the spot.. He used to do this back in the day for...

Angelo slid the finished product onto a tin metal plate that assembled into a cook set and scrutinized the results. Passable. He speared a bit on a fork. Better than that. VERY good. Alright.. Now they really had to make some decisions. All of the reasons for lingering were now expended...

Thank you so so much for coming back to this thread and updating today! I honor you for that. Tough. Tough thing to do. And I really appreciate Friday’s post because he is responding as a fellow who walks the path that you do. I am coming from a different quarter. I am a Supporter. I have a...

The wind was picking up. Farine scanned the sky for signs of a weather change. The idyllic weather they started with so far was holding steady. The tailgate would make a sturdy work surface for the camp stove particularly since Angelo was tall and he was cooking. She assembled the parts and...

Farine watched him work while she was 'fishing' in the gear for the camp stove. Here is where they diverted. He would have put the item reliably in the same place in the truck every time. She just had it 'somewhere' and then had to go digging for it. But then, her creativity and artistic...

Angelo accepted the net from Farine's hand to slip it under the fish to keep it from escaping. It was easily a five pound Northern Pike. He slipped his lure out of the pike's gullet with a twitch of his pliers from his back pocket.. The pliers went back in his pocket. Farine handed him the...

How are you, today? In asking, the understanding is that a chronic state is probably still ongoing... the hope is you detect that I care. Which again is hard to discern through mere text alone. I slept on my response to reading this yesterday. That usually works for me. Here is a better...

Here is a shout out for your capacity to hold space after all of this time after all of this B.S. from your sister. WOW! (By the way.. that's my personal exclamation of highest praise. Unless it's a string of Wow's.. which is also possible. )

The strike of the fish was decisive. The flexible graphite fishing rod bent into a strong “U” shape with the tip of the rod underwater. Angelo’s boredom was just setting in when this event instantly gravitated him into action and interest. He had calculated the line test well. It was heavy...

Angelo shrugged as the time passed.. The fish were biting and that proved too great a call to pull out his fishing rod and reel, fish stringer, lures and fish net. He stood off the shore a few feet in his crocs and calmly armed his fishing rod with its best chance to land a fish. The cast...

The full sized grey pick up truck had its occasion to rest next to its trailer filled with canoes. The put in site was selected not only for the access to the main road and a diner where guests could get a bite to eat or use its facilities, but for the spark of inspiration of natural beauty all...

This first post describes what this story and purpose is. The second post will actually begin to describe the scene and my introduction as the outfitter 'couple'... .myself plus a fictional partner who will pilot one of the canoes. The racks on the canoe trailer have a seemingly unlimited...

@Ash_3 , In some ways, writing a reply is not doable. Or at least one that matters at the level where the sequestered heart is.. my heart still tries to go out. My heart still wants to speak. So I put words in my phone that re-present what my heart wants to say. All the while knowing trust...

@Recovery4Me I read this beautiful tribute to this who and You were looking for a spot to begin ... you were heard.. Honoring your friend..

That my daughter's migraine is over...

My 19 year old daughter who loves to cook and I made a date to make this: Spaghetti with Sauteed Chicken and Grape Tomatoes and we LOVED IT!

Hey there, Manic! I 'm still fairly envious that you have a horse! I"ve wanted one for ages and ages! I'm sorry because if you've been ill then you've been missing some connection time with your horse :(

Canucklady, Just a quick note to let you know I read your post. I've heard it said that your subconscious can hear your conscious thoughts. Can you ask your Doctor if it's ok to talk to your other 'parts?' Personally, I am grateful to whatever part of me helped me survive. I say thank you...

Hi Katherine, I"ve had to do it. Because my husband and I have two children together, when we separated it was believed to be the prelude to a divorce. Now we didn't get divorced, we're back together. I had been given every indication that a divorce was incoming. Yet, I couldn't sever the...

Hello NPS, I hear between the lines, the reservations and objections of your wife. Has she really considered the penaltiies of being a single mother? During my two separations, I got a chance to be a single mother first hand experience. We have two tweener girls - just so you know a little...

Hopeful, As a carer, what your fiancee did in the fight has a name. It's called dumping. It's below the belt. Whether or not you decide to call him on it, is your decision. My guess is that he doesn't realize that he kind of stores up emotions to discharge them later. My sister is that...

HI Michel! I just wanted to point out that there are alot of resources out there than just money. For example, if your city has a parenting magazine in print you can usually find it at the library. The back half of these magazines are often cultural calendars with some *free* events. Fun is...
