It was Saturday morning and I was waiting for my friend to pick me up. We was heading out for a day of fishing together. We knew of this secluded little lake where we could pull ashore on this little island. So more than fishing was planned. So I thought until I saw his wife in the truck. But things turned out great as you will see.
Terry got out of the truck and walked toward me. We shook hands and I gave him a quizzical look.
"I know." Terry said. "I hadn't expected it either." "She knew we was going fishing and this morning she said she wanted to go along." "What could I do. Couldn't say no."
"You could have said there isn't enough room to be safe in this size boat. With lures flying everywhere," I replied.
"Yeah. I guess I could have but didn't think about it," Terry replied. "So we don't get to suck each other off this trip. There will be other times.
"True. I guess we can go without this time." I replied.
We loaded my fishing gear into the boat and got in the truck.
"Hi Bob," Sherri said.
"Hi Sherri. Didn't know you was but nice to have you along." "You'll probably catch more fish than we do."
"I plan on catching something," she replied. "But not sure about fish," she said with a little grin.
Terry and I looked at each other as if to say. Wonder what means. We didn't pursue it and just talked about where we thought the best spot would be.
We got to the lake and backed the boat into the water. I had gotten out ahead of time to unhook the boat and hold the anchor rope. Terry and his wife parked the truck and walked over to the loading dock.
"Wow. What a beautiful little lake," Sherri said. "And look. There is a small island out there. Maybe we could take a break later and do some exploring." And another little grin appeared on her face. Baffling Terri and I to know end.
"Sure Honey," Terry told his wife. And he got into the boat and to the back seat. He was running the motor. Sherri got in the middle seat and I the front. I pushed us away from the dock and Terri fired up the motor. And away we went.
