On Thanksgiving morning we looked out the window and saw these six fishermen seriously at work. We pondered their story. Was this just a fun family tradition? Did they say, "Hey it's pouring down rain, I know what let's do...."? Were they driving their wives nuts so got kicked out of the house until the turkey was ready? Or were they trying to catch their turkey? Whatever the case, in the short time we were watching, they caught two fish and they didn't sink so we figured they too had a thankful day.
what was most disconcerting was they were out there for quite a few hours in the pouring down cold rain. So it was sad because i don't think it was for pleasure. how could it be? 6 men in a tiny boat and the boat was listing.
ReplyDeleteI looked up from my window seat and could see them out there. I looked up from my book for what i thought were only a few minutes later and they were gone and no where at all. Not in the distance, not on the shore. Like a mirage.
