She couldn't read peacefully while he snored, so she went out to the boat and floated while she read. Pretty soon a game warden comes by in his spiffy boat. He asks to see her fishing license. She says "I don't have one, I am just reading". He replies "I can see you have all the equipment to fish, and for all I know you were just about to start fishing, so I am going to write you a ticket." She says " Oh very well, but I am going to have to file charges on you for rape." He steps back and says "But I never touched you!" She says "Well, I can see you have all the equipment, and for all I know you are about to start!" He quietly left.
Moral of the story- Never hassle a woman who reads, chances are she can think too! Hugs! -Kelly

She’s made quilts for several of us in the family (and I don’t think any of them have fish on them), but she’s first and foremost, a “Fisherwoman”.
I’m wondering how many other lady quilters on here enjoy fishing as much as quilting?

I guess my avatar pretty much says it all. I will post one I caught last summer on the Klutina River. I would rather be fishing than just about anything. And if its winter then quilting. What a life. :)
