For My Family (not stitching related)

This is not anything related to stitching but I had to blog it so my family can see what I WON!

Our local Sporting Goods store, Joes, was having an extravaganza last week for the upcoming fishing season. You could register for prizes and I was registered. Well they called me last night and said that I won a rod and reel combo. So today on the way home from work I stopped and picked it up.




They told me that this was the BIG prize! I never win anything!

I looked up the rod here, it is priced at $189.95. And here is the reel, it is the #2500. It is priced at $279.95. OMG! I have never spent that much on any one single stitching item!

I guess I will maybe be retiring the one that I have had since the 8th grade.

Whoo-whoo!!!

Jill, finally you received fishing equipment I don't have fix, rebuild, or make new parts for. I always said you deserved better equipment, well, you now have a fishing Rolls Royce.

You are good and have demonstrated such to all of us; now, Al Linder [MN Fishing Hall-of-Famer] move over Jill's going to show us all up. My wife's that great!

Love,
Francis
