Fishing, Making Bracelets, a Quick Trip to Houston, and Getting Ready for the Robstown Show

The last week has been extremely busy but as the title suggests I still made time to go fishing. Terry asked me if I wanted to wade fish an area called Tin Can and even though I knew my waders leaked I decided to go.

The fish didn’t bite, and the water was cold but at least I found the leak. Water quickly filled my right boot and when I took the boots off, I noticed a large hole the size of drill bit. No wonder it flooded into my neoprene boot waders! Did I say the water was really cold?

Monday Renita and I made a quick trip to Sugar Land as my hearing aids had develop a loud static noise. The hearing aid specialist asked me if I had worn them in the shower. I told her no, at least not for quite a while and then only for a few seconds, but the fog here has been like pea soup and as soon as you go out in it you are coated with heavy dew.

Its so bad that you can not wear glasses! Anyway, both were sent in and replaced under warranty. The problem is it took a week and so for a week I couldn’t here much of anything. I was really glad to be able to hear Renita again!

Finally, our first big show of the year is this weekend and while Renita has been making kumihimo necklaces, she and I have been making a new style bracelet. They take quite a bit of gold and silver wire and expensive pattern wire. All three types of bracelets have been getting compliments and so here’s hoping that it results in sales.

The show is the annual Gulf Coast Gem and Mineral Show. Its this Saturday and Sunday at the Robstown, Texas, County Fairgrounds building.

It really depends on the size of the turnout. There are no cases of the Core 19 Virus in Texas yet so here’s to optimism!
