Northern Adventures 2011: Fishing log 101

Hello :) Reports from another day off! (yes- I've had 2 days off in 3 days- I switched days with Jenn....so now I have extra free time) despite the rain- its a pretty awesome day. I am spending my time FINALLY uploading pictures. Its actually taking facebook FOREVER to load them, I've been waiting for half an hour and its still loading......I think fast Internet is something I take for granted at home!

Right now, camp is going through a big "changeover"- meaning that people are both leaving and coming in tomorrow. It is going to be a BUSY day. Especially with the rain- the boys come into camp during lunch to cook rather than sitting out in the rain to eat. It gets crowded in the lodge and we are working on staying organized when theres 13 guys in control of the kitchen.....the one good thing from rain days = LEFTOVER fish!!!! I stuffed my face today with baked walleye, and I will go back for round two later this afternoon. I just can't get enough and I am very lucky.

Right now there is a couple here that inspires me to live my life to the fullest. They are both over 75 and are so in love they act like teenagers. He calls her "my fishing queen" and they share everything. I brought her a dessert last night and they looked forward to sharing it with her.....they define "true love" everyday as they hold hands walking down to the dock....I think its so cute and more people need to live their lives enjoying the little things.

Last night before I was going to bed I spent some time admiring spiderwebs. It sounds silly but I have a new fascination with spiders (when they are not biting me- I have a nasty spider bite on my left arm). One of the guys has been watching this one spiderweb outside of the guide shack and we spent some time last night watching the net catch moths. It was literally like a real life Charlotte's web......I felt like I was in a live taping of discovery channel...ha ha ha The plan is to feed this spider pine beetles once they come out....the bugs are starting to get bad....I'm going to try out those vitamin B1 patches that I bought at the green living show, I'm just waiting until I can't bear them anymore.

Other than my general observations and odd fishing adventures- nothing else is new with me. I have been perusing online to see if I can order some "first year teaching" guideline books to read. If anyone has any suggestions for which ones are good, or most useful- please send me a message. I want to prepare myself for September as much as possible.

Anyways, after an hr my pictures appear to have failed uploading on facebook. I give up- here are a few to enjoy :)
