Good-bye, 2012.
Nia and I just spent a couple of days at Lake Ida, about 75 southwest of Jacksonville in Putnam County, between Palatka and Gainseville on Highway 20. Beautiful weather. This is the weekend lake house of our lifelong friend, Lloyd Hendry.
This is our angel with her first fish ever, caught just before dark.
Her second fish ever, the next morning. We were practicing catch-and-release. No fish were harmed in the making of this blog.
And after dinner on our second day, we did a bit of kayaking. She took right to it.
As you can see, she's grown quite a bit since our last posting. She'll be nine (9!) years old in about ten days.
