Vernon and Irene's Busy Summer

 

Vernon was excited about this summer because he knew he had to do a lot, like catching and putting fish away. He wasn't sure if he was going to make it through this summer to cut and put fish away, but his granddaughter Flora and his daughter Grace both helped him fish and cut fish for the winter. He was happy that they helped him and now he doesn't have to worry about dry fish.

He said he has two main things to worry about, wood for the winter and dry fish to eat. But he doesn't have to worry much about wood anymore because he has an oil stove to keep warm.

Vernon and Irene both wanted to go to fish camp but they had to stay home because their family members didn't want to worry about them. So they only checked their camp once together this summer. But Vernon helped Grace when she needed wood to keep her home warm. When he went to get wood he went by himself even though he was supposed to bring another person along who was strong enough to help him.

Vernon also fished for the school. He has always enjoyed fishing for the school because he has a lot of grandchildren here. He also gives a lot of fish to the Headstart.
