Notes: I love fish, but really don't like to fish, I tend to feel sorry for the fish on the hook and I find that "patience is not always a virtue of mine"! But fishing evokes fond memories of Dad-Grandpa Warren. He would take us fishing in the Keys many weekends when we were still small children. Dad would say, 'fishy, fishy in the brook, papa catch 'em on a hook, mama fry 'em in the pan, baby eat 'em like a man!" Those words and memories are lasting.
I recall funny memories like putting my hand in a shrimp bait bucket and learning that they bite! Learning that when in a small boat and you hook into a barracuda, when dad says let go, you let go; and that just because you catch a fish, doesn't mean you get to keep it- recalling the time I snagged a beautiful parrot fish that was quickly hijacked by a pelican flying above.
I was always freaked out by squirming worms...just yucky from my perspective. And, I don't think Sis and I ever baited our own hooks! So between untangling lines, teaching the fine art of casting, and baiting hooks, all while dad watched his own line take a bend....he was quite the fishing multi tasker and he didn't miss much! He was patient and never seemed to be bothered by our whining!
So my lessons learned: be patient; persevere; make lasting memories from small moments; risk; learn from your elders; your possessions might be gone in an instant, so what, memories last a life time!
