I was in Galveston at the inlaws beach house over the weekend and decided to go see the Fishes. We go to the island several times a year but its the first time that I've ever seen the Fishes. I can't think of anyone nicer to visit. If ya happen to be in their area make sure ya let them know your coming and stop by. Its become an icon of iboats I think to do so and I'm glad I did. I have a wdding I may attend in Wisconsin in May so Pony may be next. We'll be making a road trip out of it so lots of people may get visits.

They didn't know I was coming as I had there landline and it had been cut off for a while. I just kinda showed up and said here I am. I don't really know where the wedding is Roscoe, just somewhere in Wisc. Wifews cousin is from Conn (yep, I got a dang yankee in tha family) and I guess his gf is from Wisc.


RP- You know the answer. o:)

Well, let us know when and where, as the time draws near, so we can give you some travel help, etc.

Glad you had a good time meeting the Fishes. I know every time I have met an iboats member, I have been pleased. Bunch of great people here - but then great people attract great people! :devil:

As for the dog, there was a strange dog that just ran through the neighborhood - do you have a description of him? :^:'(

LMAO :}

Okay, I'll fess up.

When Kenneth pulled into the driveway I was looking for something in my SUV. So I shut the door and went on to meet him and Tyler. We visited for about 30 minutes when I looked around and couldn't find Sam, our dog.

I totally panicked since I had just put a new collar on him and hadn't had time to attach his name tag with our cell numbers numbers on it. He has run off before but that been a long time ago. I went out to the street and called his name and looked around...no Sam.

There were a lot of people down to their weekend places and I just knew if he run off I would never see him again if I didn't find him right away. I got in Mr. LF's truck to go searching for him. Tyler wanted to go with me and it helped having two sets of eyes. We stopped every person we saw outside and asked if they had seen a great big chocolate lab and nobody had. We continued up and down the streets, even as far out as the main road.

I was devestated, crying and really feeling like I would never see him again. We returned home to see if maybe he came back, but he didn't.

So I sat down and continued our visit, trying to remember where he was when Kenneth and Tyler pulled into the driveway. All of a sudden Rod got up and opened the back door of the Sequioa and out jumps Sam. :^ He'd been in there well over an hour. :/

Anyway, we all had a good laugh about it. We truly enjoyed meeting Kenneth and his beautiful and well mannered daughter Tyler. 8)

It was a pleasure to meet Kenneth & Ty. It wasn't a problem with him surprising us and wouldn't be with any iboaters who make it to the Republic of Galveston. We don't have a land line at the house so if anyone would like to call first they would have to contact us through the board for our cell numbers.

Kenneth got a first hand view of my world with the blonde losing her dog. Things like that seem to happen quite regularly.;)

Actually Kenneth saved me from the slave driver and it was a welcome break.

And I see she left you out of the dark room for a bit - I also assume you have Kenneth to thank for that! 8)
