I have five beautiful, talented nieces.
Okay, I can already hear the bitching. “I thought this blog was supposed to be about outdoor stuff. You know…fishing, hunting stuff like that”.
It certainly is, and this post about my niece Mayo fits right in. Mayo made this big, beautiful FISH out of CDs! That’s right. Each scale is a compact disc. The kind old guys like me still listen to. It’s about four or five feet long, the fins and tail are bristles from a broom. The nose is a straw hat and the eyes are mini compact discs. Is that creative and original or what?
Mayo creates other interesting objects as well: bracelets, earrings, necklaces, pendants. In other words, “wearable art”.

That’s quite the catch! Greetings from the Ozarks. Have most of your books. Seems like just yesterday we were fishing Crane Creek together! Raymond passed away a few years ago unexpectedly too. He love your books too.
