Sindi Wins

Sindi and I just spent two days at Clearview working on the barn. We got almost half the roof done and stained one side. Today was the shorter day, we only painted for five hours. Sindi did a good job, and we had some fun for the rest of the day. After cleaning up, well kinda cleaning up, we went out and golfed. Sindi didn't want to play so she drove the cart. Was a lot of fun, though I was very sore from being on the roof and ladders for several days. We played about twelve holes and came into the clubhouse. We then decided to go out and fish in the two ponds. Sindi wanted to have a competition to see who could catch the most fish. I agreed (especially since she had been skunked the evening before!).
There are two ponds at Clearview, and we had usually caught fish in the smaller pond. We started there, and Sindi caught a few Bluegills. I wasn't doing well, so I went over to the other pond and literally saw a hundred fish in the shallows. I called Sindi over and we got started. We both caught several Bluegills and smaller Bass. Sindi then caught a two pound Bass and was thrilled. At one point, we were catching fish with every cast. Most were large Bluegills and small Bass. We moved around the pond and caught several more. Later, Sindi caught a very large Crappie, a fish that wasn't stocked in the pond. It must have washed in when the nearby creek overflowed. I don't know if she caught more fish than I, but she did catch the two biggest.
We took the fish back in the clubhouse and Sindi got bragging rights. Everyone was impressed with her prowess. She was very happy despite the fact that we now had to clean all these fish. We went outside on a table and got busy. Sindi got to be head scaler, and she went to work on the Bluegills with a spoon, scraping the scales off each fish. I cut the heads off and gutted them. We worked together and got it done in an hour. It was a messy end to a good day outside. We then offered to cook dinner for Renee and Larry, and we headed up to Renee's apartment to cook.
I breaded and fried the fish, and Sindi made homemade tarter sauce. We made some beans and potatoes, and sat down to a feast. The fish was fantastic, and we just lazed around for awhile enjoying the fruits of our labor. After dinner, we dragged ourselves down to the car for a long ride home. It was truly a great day.
