Tick Talk

Well, it's spring and in some areas, that means ticks. We just got back from a trip south once more and while the fishing, the weather, the setting, etc was all great, we had a little reminder about some menacing little critters. When hopping into the shower, Amelia found a tick helping himself to some strip loin (get it?). It was just a wee bite, but given the effects of Lyme disease, she was a little freaked. The next night we just came in to town to get supper and while waiting in line (sign of a hi-brow supper) a lady pointed out a tick crawling on AJ's back. I swept it off. A few minutes later she had another one crawling along her collar. Soooo, just a head's up that it is tick season for those of you in tick land. Here's a link to a little more info on ticks & the dreaded Lyme disease:
