Ice Fishing
Have you ever gone ice fishing? When I was young my Dad built a ice fishing house and he and a neighbor used to go every year. Mom would bring hot, freshly made cornbread for us to eat later in the afternoon. She would also retrieve those kids tired of hanging out on the lake and bring us back home.
This photo gives a new meaning to ice fishing!
Later: And then a friend E-mailed me this Jeff Foxworthy joke:
If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 38 inches of ice
and sitting there all day
hoping that the food will swim by,
you might live in Wisconsin. (or Minnesota)

Wow - you caught a car. I never managed better than a catfish.
Every winter when we lived in Minnesota we'd see the ice fishing house popping up on Lake Minnetonka! The ice got so thick people drove their pick-up out to their ice fishing huts! MN is a beautiful state, but I never again want to live where winter lasts so long and is so harsh!
I like the cold but not THAT much.
I always get all jumpy when I think of those ice fishing houses. I had an uncle who used to sleep in his house and stay for weeks at a time. That almost makes me sick to think of it. I know that I could NEVER sleep on ice like that.
Never gone; never wanted to.
Cool! I've never been ice fishing,but it sounds like fun.All we get to do around East Texas isgo fishing or trotlining on our area lakes.I would be grateful just to get some SNOW once in a while.lol
Hahaha! Is this post in honor of the 150 people who needed to be rescued from the ice last week? What a bunch of boneheads! :)
Wooops, I meant to mention, we have some good news posted over at Home Fires. Thank you so much for your concern about my boy.

I've heard of ice road truckers but never people who drill holes in ice to hope to catch fish.
