So, I'm going to go with a Ladybug. Now that the hard part is done (picking the pattern), the tying part won't take long.
Bill,
Have you decided on what to do for August?
Bob
:D
Not yet, I had thought about the usual fall terrestrial but the beetles kind of cut that off at the pass. I'm thinking...Quote:

Very nice, Rex.

Got the answer. Thanks.
Flies went in the mail Tuesday morning.
I am going to try and finish up my flies tonight I have been working on one hell of a honey do list.
Can someone get me a mailing address?
Send them to Bill Houk. His address is on the upper right of all his posts.

Flies were mailed sat. Bill sorry about having to put a money order in there for return postage. My post office worker is getting so anal/stupid about things. Needless to say I wont use that one anymore.
Flies arrived. I'll deal with money order.Quote:
