Reservations made.

[John Schmidt]

For Milwaukee, WI on June 16, returning June 23. I get to spend a week with my baby girl (47 this yr.) and possibly her older sister from Illinois. We'll be at their campground in a Jellystone RV park on a big lake up there. They have a good sized trailer, 37' I believe, planning to trade it for a larger one with more "stuff" either late this year or next. They bought into a permanent spot to park it, have their own utility shed, golf cart to run around in, pontoon boat, and they built a real nice wooden deck adjacent to the trailer. It's quiet with lots of natural surroundings, and I plan to make use of that boat and a fishing rod, might even put some bait on the hook.    Nice thing about going up in June, it usually isn't real hot yet.

Rita's daughter is coming up for a few days, and Rita's eldest son is splitting the time with her for staying with Rita. She actually approached me with the proposition of filling in so I could take a break, for which I'm thankful. I'm glad Rita's kids are now stepping up to help out, been difficult up to now. I'd love to join you guys in NC, but I needed to do this, it's more important at the moment.

That is great John, I am glad it all worked out and you are going to be able to visit with your daughters.
It would have been good to have you join us as well but I know family comes first.

Family first

Sounds like a great way to regenerate John.  If you bait that hook you might have to take a fish off.  Hope you have a great time.

Congrats....sounds like a good time.
Am with Roger on the bait thing. Be careful as bait can make for work and fishing should be relaxing!
Bait = attention having to be paid, pulling on that darned rod, reeling, unhooking, cleaning, frying......you get the idea.
