Gone Fishing

The weather was nice today and so we decided to go fishing at Lake Taylor.  Sometimes I forget to stop and listen to the sounds that nature sings for us.  I actually closed my eyes and listened to the different sounds for about 5 minutes. It was nice to hear the different birds chirping, the frogs croaking and the bugs buzzing around. 

Oh my goodness I swear a snake was testing me.  It kept swimming in the water in front of me.  I’m terrified of snakes.  I told Mr. C. that the snake was waiting till I wasn’t paying attention so he could crawl up my leg.  That got a good chuckle out of him.  In fact he told me not to be so dramatic.  

 

Getting back to Nature (fishing day)

Sitting in my chair watching my pole. The wind is slightly blowing and the temperature is perfect on this beautiful Sunday. 

It is really peaceful today not many people at our local lake.  Lake Taylor is only a few miles from us. Watching the small waves has been good to my soul.  Watching the birds, bugs and snakes was interesting as well.  

My tackle box is the best!  I so need to go find some more pretty tackle.  I would prefer to have all pink and purple tackle but that just isn't possible.  I can tell my hubbie  has been helping himself to some of my items. Which I don't mind as I do not go fishing very often.  Not sure my annual fishing license is being used as much as it should.  I really thought we would go together more often.  

Today was a perfect day for us.  Sometimes just getting back to nature is exactly what one needs.  I know I certainly stay inside way too much.  Where as Luther enjoys being outside a lot. 

 

Alisha & Jonathan's wedding shower

Alisha and Jonathan's wedding shower was so much fun.  The played the The Newlywed game and opened up gifts.  It was coffee and donuts which was interesting to me.  This was the first shower that I have attended that was the donut themed.  They had a great shower.  So blessed to have these two in our lives.  Can't wait to watch them grow as a young married couple.  They truly balance out each other. You can see the love they have for each other.  

 

54th Birthday goodies

Lots of goodies for my birthday!

Mellissa & Kyndall bought me some perfect gifts. 

Every year I am blessed with lots of love.  My family and friends are my life. Just to be acknowledged on my birthday is so special.  All 3 of my son's and spouses did a great job on picking out items that I like or needed.  

It seems like the birthday's are coming faster and faster every year.  Truth be known I really didn't think that I would be alive at this point in my life.  I sure pray that I have many more birthdays headed my way!
