One For The Boys
I must say that although I am not the biggest fan of fishing, (NOT because of the worms, the smell, or the fish, it is simply because I am unable to enjoy sitting still AND being silent) however, I am a devoted fan and lover of antique tackle boxes, rods, signs, coolers, lanterns, etc. If only Bass Pro Shop would just sell all their antique props I would be there a whole ton more!!
Anywho, with summer here and sharing all her glory with us I felt inspired to change my blue table decor. It has been too long since I changed her up, I guess I've been busy! I painted a bait~n~tackle sign yesterday while it stormed all day and used what little lovies I had to go along with it. I also pulled out some 7~4 Decor, no it's not too soon for a lil red, white, and blue. (I do a little at a time so I don't get bored with it!)
My family is the greatest when it comes to noticing my day long rearranging adventures and things I've made. I get a lot of "awe, so cute's" and "that's pretty", but yesterday when Husby saw Blue and her hint of manly decor he said, "Oh how sweet". A side note...notice irony in the situation? Just a smidge of it. Back to point, Husby's father and him share many things even though Rex has been an angel for thirty years. Fishing is one of them. I believe someone's love for fishing can explain, to the core, who they are. Husby is one of the most patient persons I've ever had the honor of trying to breakdown and annoy with my impatience! He is constant with his ability to sit on a boat with the less than quiet kids and my less than immobile mind and never grows frustrated with putting bait on for us, taking fish off for us, teaching us and all the while he doesn't even get to touch his fishing rod. He is patient enough to sit on a boat, by himself, all night until his line starts getting tugged on. Satisfied completely, to come home with peace of mind and fresh air in his lungs and nothing else. Husby makes Rex proud daily, I believe. I also like to believe that Rex is fishing out of the same lake, watching his son bait his own hook, take off his own fish, and thinking how blessed they are to have those moments~even if no one really knows about them.
I doubt Husby grasps my thoughts behind the simple bait~tackle sign, doesn't matter. Just looking over at Blue and her bait~n~tackle simple glory reminds me how special Husby is and that "simple" is why I am so overly blessed with who he is.
Simple blessings to all!
