What's Austin been up to other than studying?

Story: Austin and Austin went fishing. They cornered a trout in the stream and Austin took a swing at it with a machete. He missed and it swam upstream. They cornered again and Austin took a go at it. He was able to just graze it's neck, and it started floating down stream. Austin had to act quickly and chased after it and caught the slimy thing. Then Austin cut off it's head, after which Austin gutted it. They used Austin's machete and Austin's leatherman and were successfully able to clean the trout. After the fish was cleaned Austin helped Austin cook it over the fire. All in all it was a joint effort between Austin and Austin:)

Happy Anniversary, Al and Ruthie!

Mom did the embroidery and the yo yo's by hand. Everything else was done by machine.  Mom want to put both our names on especially since I was named after Ruthie.
