Tuesday Typeface....Big Catch...

a little glitter to start your week...

It may be a bit too early in the season to think about fish...

However..

 Last week started the countdown for my Pisces lovelies..

Luckily, there are way too many fish in my life to count...

Yet, I am a bit bias as they surely are the most sparkliest of the bunch..

The Monster may have lost out on the winning fish this year..

and so did I

as this Sparkle Fish necklace from Anthropologie is no longer..

But..

Remember..

with a little patience..

There might be something waiting for you around the corner..

Like this Shellscale necklace from Anthropologie...

Catch of the Day...

Last Friday night on the Connecticut Shoreline...
the sea was a swelling and a storm was a brewing...
2 brave fisherman, the Tall One and his Dad, "Grand",
decided to brave it and head out by boat in their quest to 
catch the winning fish for the Annual Wesson Family Fishing Tournament.

At 10:30 at night, the Tall One was a bit hesitant..
BUT
Adventure Seeker "Grand" pushed onward and yelled "bring the boy!"
The Monster being a mere 2 steps away from being dressed in his cozy pj's, grabbed his rod and the trio set off for the dock.

In the darkest of nights and not a star in the sky, 
3 generations of Wesson men waited patiently for the first bite...
They waited...and waited... and waited...

FINALLY..
there was a bite...
a rather BIG bite..
The Monster carefully with all his might...
reeled her in..

Flashlights and a tape measure came whirling out...
Could it be a keeper?

Absolutely!!!

37 inches my friends!!

Triumph!! 

 But as my Great Aunt always said,

"one cannot keep a fish unless you know how to clean it"

So that's exactly what he did...

A day and a night went by and no other fisherman had caught a mightier fish...

So with the help of a magic chef, Cousin Dave, they honored the fish in a glorious feast...

at the Big Table..

with stories about the one that got away...

and how The Monster battled, caught and won

The Annual Wesson Family Fishing Tournament!

 Needless to say..I am one proud Mama..
Yes..he won..
yes..he is the first kid to be on the trophy
BUT 
it's really about the other lessons learned..

1. You never know until you try.
2. You are never too old or too young to take risks.
3. Family is important.
4. Grandparents can be much more fun than parents.
5. One cannot achieve great success without the help of others. 
6. All our dreams can come true, 
if we have the courage to pursue them. 
-Walt Disney
 So I say HOORAY to my 3 generations of Wesson men, who each won an award...
BUT 
who also won a moment and a memory that will forever change and better their wonderful lives...

a little glitter to start your week.....
