Feeling much better today so but the weather here sucked. We’re still under a weather advisory but nothing has happened but a little rain. Tomorrow and Sunday it’s supposed to rain all day which makes for a lousy weekend.
Anyway, on a brighter note; I’m excited that I ran across a set of pictures today that I did for a great organization called Cast for Kids. This group organizes an event every year that matches kids with disabilities with bass fishermen of the area and takes them fishing for the day. Whether or not these kids catch anything, which many do not, they all receive a kids tackle box (Pictured here) a plaque which has a picture of them and the boat owner attached, a hat, a fishing rod and reel and an experience that will last a lifetime.
I was so honored to be asked to help with this event. Their regular photographer had taken ill suddenly and someone suggested me. I did it two years in a row when the local chairman quit and the new chairman had someone else in mind. I think that was the last year our local group did the event. Too bad for the kids though.
