Shellyville Continues

Midnight lake effect

Hello my sunny pals,

I am still laughing. I am still in some kind of shock. I am not the most adventurous soul but I try. I like to pretend I am a good sport and will go with the flow.

I have a hard time determining if something is going to turn out poorly. I just figure things happen and I have to be open to them. So it never really crossed my mind that going fishing at midnight might not be a good idea.

I said sure! I can be quiet and enjoy nature. I can bundle up and wear comfy clothes and take a trip out to the middle of the lake. Why not? It was a good size aluminum row boat. It was loaded down with fishing poles, worms, and even a hot coffee mug. I figured what could go wrong?

HOW? WHAT? REALLY?

I was in for a rude shock when he leaned over to fix his casting line on his pole and fell in the lake! OMG he was gone! He jumped out of that freezing water like a bolt of lightening and flopped into the boat like a fish. I was laughing so hard! I couldn't even breath and neither could he. He was so pissed. I have never seen a man row a boat faster. He got us back to the launch site and then he took off running to get out of his clothes. You know what...

I am not sure what was funnier...him falling in or driving his truck home naked. I am going to remember this night for a long time! I don't know if he will ever invite me out fishing again. I don't know if I could ever do it. I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to hear my laugh for a long time.

I can honestly say it was one of the funniest nights of my life. I don't care if it was at the expense of his ego. He wasn't hurt. He did lose his fishing pole but that can be replaced. Having a memory like that will last a lifetime. I am so lucky.

Love,
Michelle
