One For The Bucket List

So you just never know how or when an opportunity is going to come along for you to do something that you've longed to do for many years...the things we keep on our bucket list. Sometimes we're not even aware of our bucket list. I wasn't.

This past month I had the amazing privelege of salmon fishing in the Fraser River!!! It was everything I had hoped for and more! I realized after the fact how much I had really wanted to do this as I recalled how over the past, I don't remember how many years I had shamlessly begged everyone who said they fished to take me along...no one ever did until my sweet husband Randy did this past month.

I had to wait for him to retire and for his brother, Uncle KK, who also just retired, to teach Randy the best sockey fishing practices.

They both decided that they needed to take part in the 2010 Historical Sockeye Run. This year will surely go down as one of the greatest of all time and I....yes, little ole me, Lorri was priveleged to be part of it with the five ...yup, five beautiful sockeye salmon (not all on the same day, of course) that I caught - that's not counting the ones that I hooked and at the last moment got free!!


Sharon and Charley Beth came down to the river to hang with us and enjoy the great outdoors. She got some amazing pictures too. She's a girl after my own heart! Next year, Sharon, it's you n me with our own rods maybe? What do you say?

Now I can check this one off of my bucket list. Makes me wonder what else I have on that list :)

We had so much fun the first time that we went back with Frank. And he caught fish too...Randy you're a good teacher.

Thanks to the great teaching from Uncle KK, Randy found a new love as he has turned into the great fisherman of 2010!

What a blast! And what a feast!!

                                                                          We all caught fish!! Yippee!
It was truly an amazing experience and one I won't forget!!













Ollie, soon you'll be big enough to catch your own fish!
