After 4 whirlwind days with the Hirsts, we travelled the relatively short distance from Plano to Jamie Baxter and Family's home in Hempstead, TX.  Jamie, Kel and Cody are all doing well. Nine year old Cody is a delight! He likes his school, fishing, riding his 4 wheeler, fishing, playing with the dogs, fishing, driving the tractor while helping his Dad and, of course, fishing! He also is a wiz at playing Hangman, which was a constant when we were in the kitchen. Oh, we fished some (every day) in the small pond in front of their house. The pond is stockd with bluegill and crappie. There are also a few bass and catfish living there. Cody runs on the shore with a large net and scoops up minnows to use as bait. It's pretty much impossible to cast out a hook and bobber with a minnow and not catch something! So, Grandpa fished with Cody and when Cody got bored, he and Grandma got in the small boat and paddled around. Dog Jemma is an wonderful swimmer (doesn't even breath hard!) as well as Buddy the Golden retreiver. Buddy is also a great jumper and manged to jump into the boat with Cody and Grandma when they were close to shore! After 4 non-stop days we're off to Panama City, FL to drop off the Tracker with the shipping company for its sea voyage to Mexico.
