Melania Mondays!

It's Monday and everyone's happy because that means Melania Mondays! and another episode in the life of America's popular and glamorous First Lady.

No, You're Not

Michelle Obama thinks she's the country's "Forever First Lady" or FFL for short. But Michelle isn't our First Lady, some say she isn't even a lady at all but some other kind of thing. 

Here at Melania Mondays! we can't say what that other "thing" is because we don't want to scandalize the children, but we can say that Melania is definitely a woman and really is the country's First Lady. Unlike Mitchell Michelle.

Warmhearted Patriot

And being a warmhearted patriot who loves our Armed Forces, Melania devoted part of her Mother's Day to honoring military moms.

MAGA

Well done, First Lady, for doing your part to make America great again, and the nation's glad you're making a good recovery after your procedure this morning.

MAGA,

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day; I hope you've all had a fantastic time with family, friends and hopefully, your Mothers. Here at the Missions we celebrated in good form, with feasting after the Masses and a lot of fun it was too. Well done, team.

Then it was back to the Compound to regroup, get collected and look to the next evolution, which weirdly enough turned out to be fishing.

Useful

Things were a bit crowded at the top secret Texan location today, on account of all the Mother's Day fishing expeditions and perhaps the pier pressure scared the fish off. 

At any event, the going was slow for the first hour or so but I didn't care, it was good to see families having fun at the water.

Awesome

Picture the scene, Grandfather and Grandson, Father and Mother, all fishing away with Grandma sensibly sitting in the shade but smiling on.  

Heartwarming and I especially liked the Grandfather, who went by "Pappy." He came from a more civilized time and fished away with lures and jigs while I cast away with savage worms.

A Mother's Day Catfish

At one point the old gentleman pulled up a fishing rod, a fairly new one, too. I congratulated him on the catch and we laughed; a good moment. 

Fierce Little Predator

Then thump, tug, the fish switched on at last and with it a brisk hour or so of reeling in mostly small Bluegill. Hey, a fish is a fish and on a light rod these perch put up a fun fight. 

Country Life in Texas

I left as my new friends went after Bass with topwater lures and the sun was setting over the still, glassy waters of the lake.

What a good day.

God bless you, Mothers,
