I tied a new fly tonight while Liz was in a class meeting. I’ve seen other streamer patterns that use a large amount of yellow feathers. I was given some old feather boa’s from our roommate hannah and decided to try and make something new. I’ve never worked with the …
Lily has started to recover from her surgery. She has a new shiney orthopedic plate under her skin on her back right leg. She has a mean looking 27 staples holding the skin togather until next week. We are taking slow walks once or twice a day right now, keeping …
Aug. 19th-23rd 08′ Liz and I needed to get away from everything before she started school on the 25th of August. We stayed at a private campground outside of the State Park. We arrived Tuesday and stayed through Saturday morning. We brought the dog so trout hunting was difficult but …

Lily our year and a half old german short hair went for an awesome frisbee catch Sunday and put our world into a chaotic state. She landed, like a sack of potatoes. Shattered her back right leg, one bone in atleast 4 places. She went into surgery this morning for …
