Guess what?!?
A piece I wrote is in a magazine!!!
(I’m very excited, please feel free to jump up and down and throw confetti in my honor.)
You see, even though I write all the time and other people (yup, I’m talking about you) even read it, I’ve never had what I’ve written show up in the mailbox in a format I can hold in my hand.
Celebration has been in order!
If you are a Wisconsin resident lucky enough to receive Wisconsin Natural Resources magazine you probably have already had the magazine show up in your own mailbox.
If not, here is the link to the article I wrote about fishing with kids. It’s not quite as exciting as holding it in your hand but it’s a close second:Ā http://dnr.wi.gov/wnrmag/2016/06/Kid.PDF
And then, because I like to practice what I preach…
…or maybe because I just like fishing with the kids…
…or maybe because I just like fishing…
…and also because it was Grandpa’s birthday…
…we went kid fishing.
The fish were biting…
…there was chaos…
…and my family kept up a constant stream of teasing references to my article to make sure I didn’t get a big head.
Basically…
…it was perfect.
Congratulations!! š
Thank you! š

Aww! How lovely, what a great family day.
It was a very good day, and these pictures don’t even include the family baseball game, the birthday boy was the pitcher!
great news… followed by an even greater day out!
Exactly! š
Congratulations, Jessie! Holding in hand your first “hard copy” article published in a major mag is a special thrill (and memory) that will glow for a long, long time. You’re a good writer; place more pieces. I’ll go on line and read this one.
Thank you Jerry! š
Yays!
All the yays! š
