I just spent the last hour researching how to cook fish that you catch yourself. Like, fish out of a lake. Specifically, three rainbow trout and a large-mouth bass that we caught on a recent fishing trip with my son’s Cub Scout pack.

Have you ever been to a Cub Scout Trout-a-ree? Me neither.

At least, up to that point. When that excited little boy asked me if we were going fishing, I had to swallow a groan and then felt just a tinge of panic.

Quick regroup. Pull it together. Make a plan.

Realize I have no idea how to pull off a successful fishing trip.

A Toast: To a New Year and You

A Toast: To a New Year and You

by | Jan 1, 2020

Today we all woke up with 365 new days ahead of us. Happy New Year!

I like to start each year off in my pajamas. I’m talking about a pj party all day long.

This party of mine includes lots of leftovers from the holidays that my family can munch on (so I don’t have to cook!), piles of cookies and treats, a fresh notebook with no writing in it, my favorite orange pen, a warm sherpa throw, crackling logs in the fireplace, and a lot of reflection on the past year.

2019.

I’ve heard from a number of people that they are looking forward to the end of last year. It’s almost like with the clash of pots and pans, the flash of fireworks in the sky, a glass of champagne, and a midnight kiss, all their troubles will end. All the negatives were left in the past and the future suddenly looks bright.

Let Me Tell You a Story

Well, hello there. I’m Anna Larson, AWN’s newest blog contributor. I’m a storyteller. I love to wind my way through an adventure, usually containing shenanigans and mischief galore. I’ve got plenty of material in my messy, brilliant, creative, and beautiful life.

Speaking of stories…

On a hot August afternoon in eastern Oregon, a 2-year-old freckle-faced country kid made his way down the road. He was angry and clutching a few toys. Running away was the last resort. His parents refused to change that baby sister into a baby brother, and today was the day she was making her way into the world. He had decided to not stick around for it.
