Peggy Cline has been writing most of her life to record experiences, people, or pets that were unique or interesting enough to remain in her life as cherished or sometimes painful memories.

Peggy's father-in-law and uncle, and later her husband, Steve, created the relatively unique private vocation of raising and stocking live trout for the lauded sport of fishing in Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming. The ponds and raceways where they raised the fish sometimes created a curiosity hazard or perhaps an attractive nuisance for the brazen to help themselves to the fish that took a year or more to arrive at a saleable size at sometimes great expense.

A seasoned storyteller, Peggy shares her unique experiences and introduces you to . . .

The curious workings of a trout farm without your having to actually visit the premises.The unique personalities of their several pets over the years that never failed to amaze or amuse them, will bring smiles or tears to your face.The angst and humor of middle school and high schoolers that she observed as their teacher and coach.

Written as a tribute to her husband and the memorable moments they created in the foothills of Boulder, CO, Peggy's innate ability to share stories of how to enjoy life, create loving relationships, and cherish the land will keep you engaged.

If you're an outdoor enthusiast, eager to delve into the lives and adventures of a family you'd be interested to have as your next-door neighbor, this book is tailor-made for you!
