Yesterday, I was in Kosciusko, Mississippi, alone. After enjoying a wonderful breakfast, and purchasing a few items for our hunting camp, I suddenly realized that this was a wonderful opportunity to do a couple of things that have been on my bucket list for a long time. Using my vehicles GPS system, I located the home of Elmo and Frances Breazeale. Elmo is a distant cousin who I have never met. He reminded me of my father. She reminded me of my mother. We had a wonderful visit and I promised that I would return again. On my way out of their house, Elmo ask if I would like to see his fishing lure collection. I said yes. Not really knowing what to expect, I was surprised to see that Elmo has one of the largest fishing lure collections in America. He has thousands of lures, many of which he designed and that are simply hanging on the wall. Also, he has at least 30 or so trophy bass that he has wall mounted. Elmo is like the Moses of bass fishing. If you ever hear me bragging about my fishing catch again, please remind me that I will never be as good as Elmo. Elmo reminded me that the Breazeales have a special cemetery that is located near Kosciusko. That was my next stop. Another bucket list activity, that was really a very special and moving experience for me. I love my Breazeale cousins. We are all just ordinary folks who frequently do extraordinary things like enjoying the great outdoors that God has bless us with.
