When I lived in Clearwater....
"One of my very best friends...Carole"
She and I are best budds...Carole used to live in Clearwater, and now lives in Tampa. She would wake me up at 6:30am on Sunday morning by knocking on my bedroom window, and announce herself in her mix of Louisianna/Texas-way-to-early-in-the- mornin' drawl...Heyyyy!!! It' time ta get up now...I got the beach chairs in the back of the truck, the sun's a comin' up, the waves are a callin' us, and I have the BLOODY MARY'S... damit...knock, knock, knock....isssshhh, I do so love ma friends...This is a picture of her with a Trigger Fish that she caught, but threw back. We always talked about takin' flyfishin' lessons...some day, girl....some day....~
