Late Season Fly Tying For the Delaware System
Well, summer this year came quick and will be gone before we know it with Fall fast approaching. This whole season, from early spring until the present, has offered some excellent fishing opportunities with lots of large fish. We've had some awesome hatches this season, starting with some great Blue Quills and Hendricksons, and now we're two months into an unbelievable Sulphur season. There are lots of situations and rivers where having some fly tying skills is a major bonus. This year on the West Branch was one of those years. As most of you who have fished the river much know, the fish can get pretty picky at times. A great example is during our Sulphur season. When the Sulphurs start in decent numbers, the fish are immediately very picky when it comes to which patterns they will take. This has everything to do with the way the Sulphur emerges, and has nothing to do with fishing pressure. Relying on store-bought patterns is tough and you soon run out of options. Being able to sit down at the bench and come up with some very specific patterns in these situations is the difference in catching some fish while others are pulling their hair out.
Late season, lets say August through September, is an excellent time to fish the Delaware system. The fair weather fisherman have come and gone, crowds really die off once the "no-kill Sulphur scene" is over and lots of others just start to do other things as September and school approaches. Another nice thing about late season is that you really only have a few bugs to worry about. Some Cahills, Blue Winged Olives, Isonychia and a few terrestrials. Number-wise the BWO's are gonna be the most prevalent and reliable of the listed bugs. The terrestrials will work in a lot of situations as well. The Isonychia and Cahills can be sporadic at times but are nice big bugs and are always great searching patterns.
We will start off looking at the Blue Winged Olive, a real late season staple on the Delaware system and most other rivers too. Most day, throughout the rest of the season, you could bank on seeing some decent BWO activity. You'll see them from size 18 all the way down to 26's. Personally, the Olive is one of the few mayflies that I will use a dun when fishing. With most other mayflies a good emerger is hard to beat but with the Olives a good dun pattern is a great producer and oftentimes is the only one you need. One of my favorite patterns is a nice dun with a snowshoe wing. The pattern is pretty simple to tie. First, I start by tying in about 6-10 mircrofibetts in for the tails, divide them in half and splay them out a little. I put this many tails in to help support the back end of the fly when floatant is applied. I find it comical to see flies with two or three tailing fibers, depending on the bug, tied for the tails. The fish don't count the tails, I guarantee it, and two fibers (or three for that matter) do jack diddle for supporting the fly. Next, clip off an appropriate amount of dun snowshoe for the wing. Tie in the clump with the butts facing back, then make a few thread wraps in front of the clump to stand it up. I also like to start with a portion of the wing (1/4 or so of the total wing) closest to me and pass a wrap of thread in front of that portion only followed by another tight wrap, or two, in front of the whole wing. Next you will use half of the wing, one wrap in front of this half only, then one or two in front of the whole wing. Then do the same with 3/4 of the wing followed by a nice "thread dam" in front of the whole wing. Tying the wing of any comparadun (deer hair, snowshoe, cdc...) using this method really helps to spread the wing out over the top half of the hook and keeps it standing tall after it's been fished a little. The comparadun is one of the most poorly tied flies you'll see in a lot of shops. Wings without enough material to float the fly and collapsed wings are common problems you'll see on may comparaduns. Last, dub the body with an appropriate BWO dubbing of your choice. I like to tie several color variations for each size from #18-#26.
One of the other late season bugs we will see here is the Isonychia. They will range in size from #10-#12. You will also see a lot of color variation in the flies both on the water and in the shops, ranging from a dark claret color to a golden olive. The Isonychia is a great late season searching pattern. If you grid a nice piece of moving water with a good Isonychia representation you will probably have some action. You usually don't witness a blanket hatch of Isonychia you will see a few here and there throughout most of the late season. I like to use a big emerger pattern for most of my Iso fishing with either a CDC or snowshoe wing. I really want this fly to float long and high since I will be fishing it in moving water and I want to be able to see it. Start off with a #10 or #12 scud/emerger hook and tie in a shuck of either spooled antron, antron dubbing or just good old pheasant tail. Next tie in a wing of either dun colored snowshoe or CDC. Then I go through the same steps listed above to comparadun up the wing instead of having it lean back at a 45 degrees. I just like this profile better and find it much easier to see on the water.
The last of the mayflies that will be a factor late season is the Cahill. We actually get several different species of mayflies that are lumped together as Light or Dark Cahills as well as some other common names. All of these are closely related to March Browns and Grey Fox. Their boxy structure are pretty much the same and they just differ slightly in size and color. Most of the Cahills you will see in August and September are #14's-#16's. They will range in color from a light cream to a yellowish-brown. I use emergers, tied like the Iso's listed above as well as parachutes and wet flies. I won't go into tying the parachute since it's a pretty simple fly to tie. I'll go over a basic wet fly pattern that works well when tied for a variety of mayflies, especially the Light Cahill. I guess part of the Cahill wet's success lies in the time period when we see these bugs. Late season, hot and typically lower water, a great time to work a nice riffle with a wet fly. I tie some of my flies with small beads or wire bodies to get them down a little if I'm fishing a deeper run. Start off with a #14-#16 wet fly or scud hook and add a bead near the head if you like. If you opt not to use a bead now is the time to tie in some fine wire to counterwrap the body to get the fly down a little. Again, I then add some tails to the fly using 6-10 fibers from a pheasant tail. Tie them in with a few wraps of thread then wrap the thread forward a few millimeters but don't cut off the excess pheasant tail. Next, take the butts of the pheasant tail and wind a few wraps around the back of the hook, then tie them off and counterwrap the fibers with the wire, tie everything off and trim. This is going to give the fly a two-tone body, dark in the back and lighter in the front, to mimic the mayfly emerging from it's nymphal shuck, a profile that is time tested on emergers and wet flies. Now, use the dubbing you choose to best match the bugs you've been seeing and dub the rest of the body but leave a little room behind the hook eye or in front of the bead. Now, find a nice hen hackle a little darker than the body, tie it in, make a few wraps then trim and tie off. Now you have a bad ass late season wet fly. Tie them up with a few different body color and size variations.
Last but not least, terrestrials. I will just cover a few, cause really, they'll be all you need for most occasions. The winged ant in various sizes and colors along with a good beetle pattern will work wonders during the next few months. The winged ants are always a major factor during the late summer months. When the winged ants are on the water it doesn't matter what mayfly the trout are feeding on, throw a winged ant, they'll eat a they'll eat it. Beetles work well too but I see way more winged ants on the water than beetles so I tend use the ants more often. I tie the winged ants in two colors; black and a golden-olive, both with CDC wings. Start off with a dry fly hook (#16-#20) and start dubbing the body creating a ball of dubbing for the abdomen. Then tie in a nice clump of light dun CDC in front of the ball with the butts facing forward. Divide the wing into two equal portions and splay them out at 45 degrees from the hook shank, still facing back. Now, all you have to do is make another, smaller ball of dubbing in front of the wings you just made and the fly is done. These ants from size 16 to 20 in both colors will cover all of the ants you will see. The fly works from late July until the weather really cools in the fall. These two terrestrial patterns work great as early morning flies or on "one rise wonders" junk feeding any time of the day.
So, there you have it, a half dozen patterns that are easily tied and will really cover most of your late season fishing, maybe add a few small Tricos and nymphs and your box is complete.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Celtics received bad news regarding forward Chris Wilcox, who will have aortic surgery at the Cleveland Clinic on March 29 and will miss the rest of the season. The surgery is expected to repair Wilcox's condition and he should be able to resume playing next season, the team said in a release.
From the release:
"Wilcox has long had an aortic abnormality that remained stable throughout his 10-year NBA career. However, as a precautionary measure, the Celtics medical staff scheduled frequent aortic scans for Wilcox, and a recent scan showed a significant enlargement of his aorta. After several follow-up tests, doctors recommended surgery."
"While we are saddened that Chris will not be able to play again this season, the most important thing is his health, and we were fortunate to have access to an amazing team of specialists to evaluate Chris's case," said Celtics President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge said in the statement. "The entire Celtics family supports Chris during this difficult time in his career."
Wilcox is the second player the Celtics have lost to a heart ailment. Earlier, they voided the contract of Jeff Green after tests revealed a heart aneurysm. Green had surgery in January and is also out for the season, but expected to be able to play in 2012-13.
His loss leaves the Celtics extremely thin up front. He was the first big man off the bench behind Kevin Garnett and Brandon Bass and the team has turned to rookie Greg Stiemsma to fill the void. Without Wilcox and center Jermaine O'Neal who has been considering wrist surgery, the Celtics need another big man. "We need another big body for sure," team president Danny Ainge said on Monday before the Clippers game. The trade deadline is at 3 p.m. on Thursday.

Canada's baby boomers fear their golden years will be anything but rosy.
A strong majority of Canadians aged 45 and older are anxious about their financial future and their ability to pay for uninsured prescription drugs and other health expenses, a new poll finds. Eight in 10 aren't convinced they will be able to find or afford a decent home or long-term care should they need it, according to the Canadian Medical Association's annual "report card" on health.
"We should not accept that a country as prosperous as Canada has such a large portion of its population living in fear for the future as they age," said outgoing CMA president Dr. Louis Hugo Francescutti.
Many of those polled are drawing from their own personal experience of caring for aging parents, "and baby boomers are not going to accept the level of care" that they see being delivered to their loved ones, Francescutti said in an interview.
"There are a lot more of us coming down the pipeline (but) this system is not oriented toward taking care of people who are living longer."
The Ipsos-Reid poll of 1,000 Canadians aged 45 and older was released Monday to coincide with the opening of the organization's annual meeting in Ottawa, where seniors' care, medical marijuana and doctor-assisted death are among the issues expected to dominate debate during the three-day gathering of delegates.
Overall, 81 per cent of those polled said they are worried about the quality of health care they can expect when they're older, with those nearing retirement the most anxious. Six in 10 have little faith hospitals and long-term care facilities have the resources even now to handle the needs of a rapidly greying population, or that there will be enough services to help seniors live at home longer.
Not surprisingly, the vast majority — 95 per cent — endorsed the need for a national seniors' care strategy.
The doctors' lobby estimates $2.3 billion a year could be used in more effective ways, for example, by addressing the growing problem of so-called "bed blockers" — elderly patients well enough to be discharged who languish in hospital beds while waiting placement in a nursing or retirement home.
It costs about $1,000 a day to care for a patient in hospital, compared to $130 a day in a long-term care facility, and $55 for home care, according to the CMA.
"We need to move from the status quo that the hospital is the end-all and be-all of health," Francescutti said.
More emphasis is needed on smoking cessation, improved physical activity and better nutrition to reduce the burden of diabetes, heart failure and other chronic illnesses, he said.
"The emphasis should be on making sure Canadians don't get sick in the first place. And, if they do get sick, assemble teams around that specific illness that uses the best evidence to take care and manage that disease, which we don't have right now," Francescutti said.
Instead, "We have a helter-skelter, hodge-podge mix of different systems," he said. "And that's reflected in what Canadians are saying. They don't like what they see."
Those aged 45 to 54 have the most angst for the future, according to the poll.
The proportion of seniors is growing fast: In 1971, Canadians aged 65 and older accounted for eight per cent of the population; today they make up 15 per cent.
By the time all boomers turn 65, seniors could represent 25 per cent of the nation's total population, according to Ipsos Reid.
But the proportion of health dollars spent on seniors' care has budged little in the last decade, moving from 44 per cent in 2000, to 45 per cent in 2011.
"We need to have a strategy based on the best evidence from other countries that have done this and are doing it far better than we are," Francescutti said.
"It means we have to think very differently. This report sends a wake-up call (to political parties) that baby boomers are just not going to put up with what they're seeing being delivered now," he said.
"If you've pissed off a constituency within society that you know can make the difference between getting elected or not elected, hopefully that will move a party to action."
The poll of 1,000 Canadians was conducted between July 17 and July 24. A sample this size provides a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

Juliette Rae Hastings (25) and Reece Langston Hastings (25)
Married June, 2011, married in Virginia
Honeymooned in Australia
We initially decide to stay in Virginia after the wedding in a two-bedroom white house.
Year 1: Shortly after the wedding, we discover that we are expecting twins. In November, I give birth to twin girls named Evangeline Jewel (Evie) and Adelaide Pearl (Addie).
Year 2: Kate, one of my close friends from college, has a baby girl a few months after my twins are born. She decides to name the baby Maggie Rose.
Year 3: When the twins are almost two, Reece and I decide to move the family to Massachusetts. We find an old Victorian in a suburb of Boston.
Year 4: Now that our twins are old enough for pre-school, Reece and I decide to have another baby. It turns out to be twins again, this time one boy and one girl. Their names: Elliot Archer and Phoebe Kate.
Year 5: After Elliot and Phoebe have their first birthday, the family decides to adopt a dog. We get a Golden Lab called Barney.
Year 6: After six years of marriage, I give birth to my fifth baby, a boy named Jasper Leland.
Year 7: Reece and I are suprised to learn that we're expecting again. This time, I give birth to twin boys who we name Silas Christian and Henry Cash (Huck).
Year 8: When our kids are 7, 7, 4, 4, 3, 1, and 1, we move to Santa Fe, NM.
Year 9: The kids insist that Barney is lonely being an "only pet," so Reece and I agree to adopt another pet. We get a Ginger Tabby cat named Venturo.
Year 10: Now that our youngest are in preschool, Reece and I decide it's time for another baby. We have a son named William Blaine (Will).
Year 11: Once again, the family pulls up stakes and moves to a brand new city. We wind up in Dallas, TX, where my husband was born.
Year 12: My husband's brother gets married in June, and he asks us both to be in the wedding party. The wedding goes smoothly, and the reception is big and noisy and an all-around good time.
Year 13: We have a set of twins again! One is a girl, Rosalie Vivienne and the other is a boy named Spencer Clay.
Year 14: We decide to buy two horses--Cocoa and Calico.
Year 15: I decide to open up a little second-hand bookstore with my sister-in-law. We call it Second Look.
Year 16: Reece and I discover that I'm pregnant again. With twins! We have a boy, Beau Dallas, and a girl called Violet Rebecca.
Year 17: Our oldest niece, Emily, gets married this year. She married her high school sweetheart in May.
Year 18: Our oldest two seniors in high school, so Reece and I decide to take a family vacation before they go off to college. We head to Ireland and spend two weeks exploring the area.

Wife: Jillian Elizabeth Danvers, age 24
Husband: Jeremy Malcolm Danvers, age 26
Married July 5th, 2017 in a hotel in Buffalo, New York. They move to Albany, New York after a two-week honeymoon in the UK.
2018: Dakota, a close friend of Jillian's since high school, is no longer capable of taking care of her six-year-old daughter, Adelina Isabel Roundtree. Jillian and Jeremy take her in and, a year later, she becomes Adelina Isabel Roundtree-Danvers.
2019: The Danvers move to Tampa, Florida, for new job possibility for Jeremy and Jillian. Their house looks like: http://www.wdwilliamsconstruction.co...anch-Home2.jpg
2020: Jillian and Jeremy start trying for a baby shortly after Adelina turns eight in December. Jillian gets pregnant after two months, but six weeks into the pregnancy, she miscarries. But several months later, she is slightly distracted from her disappointment when she and Adelina have a small part as a mother/daughter neighbor role in a movie being shot in Florida.
2021: Jeremy convinces Jillian they can try again. They do, and three months later, Jillian is pregnant. During their 12 week appointment, they discover they are expecting triplets! Two girls and one boy. On April 1st, 2021, Phoebe Rose Danvers, Celia Juliette Danvers, and Holden Seth Danvers are born.
2022: The first book Jillian published is being made in a movie! She and Jeremy have a scene where they are dancing at a party the main character's father is hosting.
2023: On September 14th, 2023, Jillian and Jeremy have their fourth biological child. It is a single baby boy and his name is Quinton Gabriel Danvers.
2024: Jeremy's sister, Katrina, is getting married. The Danvers family flies up to New York to attend the wedding. Jillian is a bridesmaid and Jeremy is a groomsmen. Adelina (12) is a junior bridesmaid. Phoebe (3) and Celia (3) are flower girls, and Holden (3) is the ring bearer. 1-year-old Quinton falls asleep on his grandmother's lap.
2025: The Danvers decide to try for one more baby. They end up with triplets, all boys. Born on October 3rd, 2025, the babies are named Camden Blake Danvers, Landon Wyatt Danvers, and Declan Reid Danvers.
2026: A hurricane hits Tampa very hard, nearly destroying the Danvers house. The family is forced to relocate. They go to stay with Jeremy's parents in Saratoga Springs, New York. While the kids did like living in Tampa, they quickly grow to love Saratoga Springs and ask their parents if they can stay. With a good, well-paying job opening at a university in a nearby town and closer proximity to publishers, Jillian and Jeremy deeply consider it. Ultimately, they decide to stay.
2027: While walking home from a friend's house, 15-year-old Adelina is hit by a car. She is left in the middle of the road for at least an hour before a passing motorist finds her and calls for an ambulance. Jillian and Jeremy drop everything and head for the hospital as soon as they received the call. Adelina rests in a chemical coma for three days before she wakes up. After a week and a half in the hospital, she is sent to a private hospital, undergoing treatment for another month. When she is able to go home, she has to walk on crutches with one arm in a sling. The family works together to help her out, all of them grateful that she lived through it.
2028: The driver that hit Adelina is finally caught. He was driving drunk and had no idea that he had hit anyone. This inspires Jillian, Jeremy, and Adelina to go on an anti-drunk driving campaign. They start a charity foundation to help victims and victims' families of alcohol and drug related crimes.
2029: Living with Jeremy's parents has been nice, but it's becoming cramped. And when a fire nearly destroys the kitchen (caused by Adelina, trying to help), the Danvers decide it's time to move. They move to a house a few blocks away, in another suburb in Saratoga Springs. Their new house looks like this: http://activerain.com/image_store/up...1668741233.jpg
2030: At 37, with an 18-year-old high school senior, three 9-year-old third graders, one 7-year-old first grader, and three 5-year-old preschoolers, the last thing Jillian expected was another baby. But a month after she and Jeremy spend a Valentine's Day weekend away, she discovers that she's pregnant. Her husband and Adelina watch over her like hawks. Born on August 4th, 2030, the baby girl is small but healthy. Her name is Ruby Evangeline Danvers.
2031: Jillian's "halfway to mid-life crisis" moment occurs when she dyes her brown hair a medium red color. Her family is uncertain of how to react.
2032: Jillian dyes her hair again. This time, it's a dark brown color, close to her natural one.
2033: Katrina convinces Jillian and Adelina to help her open a daycare center in Saratoga Springs. It's called the We Love Kids Daycare Center.
2034: For his birthday, Quinton asks if he can have a dog or a cat. This sparks the interest of the other children as well, who have never had any pets. The day before Quinton's eleventh birthday, Jillian and Jeremy bring home a dog and a cat. The dog is a male German Shepard the kids name Flynn and the cat is a female Birman cat they name Jasmine.
2035: Joey Stillwell and his wife Laura are killed in a car accident, leaving behind their two young daughters, Sadie Madeline Stillwell (5) and Lily Roxanne Stillwell (2). With no other family that can take them in, Jillian and Jeremy, like with Adelina years before, take the Stillwell girls in and eventually adopt them.
2036: Jillian and Jeremy's 24-year-old daughter, Adelina, is getting married to her closet friend since middle school, and college boyfriend, Logan Oliver Johnson. Adelina and Logan are married on December 12th, 2036, in a small church in Saratoga Springs. 15-year-old Phoebe and Celia are bridesmaids. 15-year-old Holden, 13-year-old Quinton, and 11-year-old Camden, Landon, and Declan are groomsmen. Ruby (6), Sadie (6), and Lily (3) are flower girls. Adelina's dress looks like this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aVp25ISZyN...sses-09123.jpg The ceremony goes on beautifully without a hitch and a reception is held at Logan's grandparent's house.
2037: Jillian's mother has become very ill. Jillian brings her mother to Saratoga Springs to take care of her. At first, Jeremy has no problem with this, but Jillian's mother, Dorothy, was never particularly fond of him, and her being there takes Jillian's attention away from their younger children. This goes on for several months, with plenty of fights between the couple. It isn't until seven-year-old Ruby has a severe asthma attack in school does Jillian realize her kids still need her. She finally puts her mother in a nursing home where she will get professional help 24/7.
2038: There are still problems left over from Dorothy's departure. The fights get to a point where Jeremy moves out to stay in a condo. Adelina convinces her parents to attend marriage counseling. This goes on for six months before the Danvers get back together in time for Adelina to announce she's pregnant at the family's annual Christmas.

Me: Lydia Phoebe Bess
DH: Colin Michael Bess
Year married: 2015, I am 25 and Colin is 29.
We marry and live in Philadelphia in a three-bedroom brick home. Our honeymoon is in Turks and Cacaos.
Year 1: My younger cousin, Wesley Ryland Jacobs, gets married to his girlfriend of four years, Ava Lee Rollins. Colin and I fly to Las Vegas for their destination wedding.
Year 2: Shortly after our first wedding anniversary, one of Colin's students at university, Jaime Grace Whistler, confides in him that she's pregnant with twins. After some discussion we decide to adopt the babies and are approved. With Jaime's help we name them August Whistler Bess and Mabel Grace Bess. We have an open adoption and Jaime stays a big part of our lives.
Year 3: With all the excitement of bringing Gus and Mae home, we forget to celebrate our second anniversary! Leaving the twins with Colin's parents for a few days we take a weekend trip to New York. A few weeks later, we find out I'm pregnant... with identical twin boys! Two sets of twins in under two years is hectic, but we are blessed to bring home Walter Jack Bess and Milo James Bess eight months later.
Year 4: Gus and Mae are almost two and Walt and Milo are 7 months old when we get a call from Colin's younger sister, Caitlyn, who is 19. She'd been living in an apartment with her boyfriend, but left him when she caught him cheating. She doesn't want to go home, so we offer her a place to stay. Cate is a great houseguest - she pays rent and helps with the kids as collateral. She stays with us for the rest of the year until she gets accepted to college on scholarship.
Year 5: With Cate in the house, Colin and I didn't get much alone time, but once she moves out everything goes back to normal. It isn't long before we're expecting again. Yet again... it's twins. We can't believe the odds, and neither can the doctors, but this time we have a set of identical twin girls which balances out all the testosterone in the house. Penelope Cate Bess and Clementine Anne Bess come home healthy after two weeks in the NICU.
Year 6: My younger cousin Wes and his wife Ava welcome their first child this year after five years of marriage. They have a beautiful baby girl named Skylar Faith Jacobs, and name Colin and I as godparents.
Year 7: Colin's job as a professor takes us to Boston, Massachusetts when he gets a tenured position as a professor at Harvard. We buy a beautiful six bedroom home in the suburbs outside of Boston.
Year 8: After Polly and Clea were born, Colin and I decided we were scared to roll the dice on having twins again, so we applied for international adoption. This year, we are finally approved to adopt a 3 year old girl from Ethiopia. Ayodele Dembe Bess, called Aya, arrives home when Polly and Clea are two, Walt and Milo are 4, and Gus and Mae are 5.
Year 9: My younger brother David Patrick Jacobs is hit by a drunk driver and passes away a few days later. We are able to prove malpractice on the doctor that was treating him and receive a $2.5 million dollar settlement. He wasn't married and had no children, but we take in his dog, a corgi named Roscoe.
Year 10: Eight months after David passes away, we receive a phone call from the woman he'd been dating at the time, Laura Beth Harmon. She has just given birth to twins, and she claims David is the father. After a paternity test proves the twins are David's, she asks us if we would adopt them as she is unable to support them. We say yes. Archer David Bess and Harriet Patricia Bess come to stay with us a few weeks later.
Year 11: At the suggestion of my seven year old daughter Mae, I get my nose pierced.
Year 12: Late one night, we get a call from a hospital in Santa Monica. Colin's mother, who has Alzheimers, is no longer able to take care of her home on her own and her health is deteriorating. After some discussion, we decide the best thing to do is to move to California to be close to her while she is in a nursing home. It takes some convincing, but we buy her six bedroom estate and use some of the money from the lawsuit to renovate it and add three extra bedrooms. The whole family visits her a few times a week at the care facility and her health improves slightly.
Year 13: Archie and Hattie are turning 3 this year, Polly and Clea are five, Aya is six, Walt and Milo are seven, and Gus and Mae are eight. As crazy as it is with nine kids running around, I can't help but miss having a little baby in the house. Colin agrees. By this time we're 38 and 42, so we turn to fertility treatments. They work... a little too well. Triplets Florence Avis Bess, Eugenia Dawn Bess, and Clarence Bram Bess are born six weeks early but stable. They come home after three weeks in the NICU.
Year 14: Early this year, when the triplets are only five months old, Colin's mother passes away. Almost at the same time, I'm offered a higher paying job in Fort Worth, Texas. We sell the house and make a killing, enough to buy a ranch just outside Fort Worth. The ranch has old servants' quarters attached to the house, which we convert into extra bedrooms for the kids. They still have to share, but not three to a room like in our old house.
Year 15: After moving in, we become unexpectedly pregnant with a baby boy! This was a surprise to everyone as I turn 40 this year, but little Dexter Colin Bess is born happy and healthy. At this time the triplets are 2, Archie and Hattie are 5, Polly and Clea are 7, Aya is 8, Walt and Milo are 9, and Gus and Mae are 10.
Year 16: My best friend, Rachel Marie Franck, passes away this year from breast cancer. She was a single parent to a three year old boy named Wilder Austin Franck. In her will, she lists Colin and I as the custodian of her son as she had no surviving family. Wilder Austin Franck-Bess becomes a part of the family quickly even though the adjustment of losing Rachel is hard. He and Clarence become the fastest of friends.
Year 17: During the hot summer this year, Fort Worth becomes the site of devastating wildfires, one of which destroys our home. Insurance covers the cost of everything, however while we look for a new house we're forced to stay with relatives. We move in with my younger cousin Wesley, his wife Ava, and their 16 year old daughter Skylar for four months, as they own and live in an apartment building with two adjacent, empty apartments. Eventually we buy another home in Fort Worth, using the insurance money to purchase a huge twelve bedroom estate outside the city.
Year 18: I'm invited to the Ellen show as a guest! After the fire and the purchase of our new home, which was once owned by Robert Downey Jr., she got wind of Colin and I and our large blended family and was fascinated. She invites us all to the set to be interviewed, and through the show I am offered a book contract with Simon and Schuster. Colin and I begin writing immediately.
Year 19: This year, we get a frantic call from Wes who is furious that his eighteen year old daughter and my goddaughter, Skylar, is pregnant. He asks me to talk to her. She's ashamed that this happened the way it did but after discussing her options, decides to keep the baby. Her boyfriend Joshua Matthew Dawson, who is only eighteen himself, makes the right decision and asks her to marry him. They have a baby boy named Lukas Wesley Dawson "Luke", who is carried down the aisle by his mother at their wedding two months later. Although it's unorthodox, Skylar and Josh ask us to be Luke's godparents as well as Skylar's. We agree.
Year 20: After meeting baby Luke, Colin confides to me that he'd love to have one more baby before we put our child-rearing years behind us for good. So, in our 20th year of marriage, we welcome another set of twin girls. Stella Vivian Bess and Leona Verity Bess are born on Colin's 49th birthday.
Lydia and Colin:
August, Mabel, Walter, Milo, Penelope, Clementine, Ayodele, Archer, Harriet, Florence, Eugenia, Clarence, Wilder, Stella, and Leona.baby #1 arriving november 2015

Ever watched as your favorite NFL squad endured a 30+ point playoff loss? All of these teams' fans certainly have.Getting blown out in a playoff game is usually a horrific experience, especially when your team had to fight and claw just to play that additional week, only to be thoroughly embarrassed. The worst part is, IT'S THE FINAL GAME OF THE YEAR. But hey, summer is right around the corner....oh, wait, no it isn't. Enjoy that three-month wait until the Draft, and that six-month wait until training camp starts.Oh, and then the entire regular season, as the loss is brought up in every nationally televised appearance.
