More info

Here is some more clues.
1) It is a class, but not a cooking class
at this point I guessed-- and I was right....
We are going to take a FLY FISHING lesson!

more on the surprise

Based on your questions- I now know the following.
1) I can bring my camera (fear not faithful readers)
2) It sort of involves food- but we won't be eating any
3) It could or could not be considered a sport
4) It isn't anything I have ever done before
5) We will not be leaving the ground.

Keep those questions coming!

shocking discovery

I used to have huge fish in my pond until a red tailed hawk moved into the neighborhood eating the fish I had taken care of for 5 years. I stocked 40 fish in the pond last July and they didn't fair well. They must be super tasty. I had 4 to last until now- and then this weekend I made a shocking discovery. I actually have FIVE! I have a white and gold fish in there. Here is a rare pic of him on the the bottom right. He is usually hiding but I lured him out with some food. Also, you would not believe how hard it is to get a picture of a fish. I am glad to have digital!

pretty plants all in a row

Here is a picture of the plants I have put in recently. Trying to find plants that are not poisonous to Brady has proven to be very challenging.

ribs

Here is a picture of the super yummy ribs we had yesterday. We scaled down the SSDC (if you have been to one- you know what it stands for) to just 3 people. We ate ribs and chicken wings that had been smoked pretty much all afternoon. We also had corn and rolls. We were supposed to have what the mix box proclaimed to be the ultimate brownie experience-- but it fell way short of what I really wanted it to be. After dinner we saw fireworks. It was another fun 4th.

my surprise

I am going somewhere to do a surprise activity on Saturday. I am allowed 20 questions about it. Here is what I know... because I already asked some of them.

1) It will happen at 9am
2) It is very fun- but not super fun
3) It is not dangerous or gross
4) I can wear a t-shirt and jeans
5) It is an indoor and outdoor activity, but mostly outdoor
6) It cost less than $30
7) If 9am doesn't work- we could go at 3pm.
8) I would get Chick-Fil-A breakfast before.
9) It isn't anything scary
10) My friend Leah thinks it is a well thought out sweet gesture- and that the Saturday part may not be fun- but it will lead to more fun later.

I have 10 more questions I can ask between now and Friday night. I am looking to my readers for suggestions. I moderate all of my comments on the blog. If I choose to ask a question you have submitted, I will publish the question and the answer. Please don't be offended if your comments are not published. If I know you, and you leave an anonymous comment- somehow let me know who you are. Only 2 people know and they aren't spilling it- so no luck finding out from them. Thanks for your help. I look forward to reading you comments.

the patio lighting

This afternoon, we started putting in the patio lighting. We have 2 of the 6 lights hooked up at this time. Things are really coming together.
