Gather at the River

This was not my chair, but you get the idea!

One of our daughters and son-in-law own some property on the Red River.  They are in the process of building a "hunting cabin".  This weekend we spent some time up there.  Mike and Caleb were helping build it and then Sunday they went down to the river and tried their hands at fishing.  They were using that nasty "stink bait"!!  It's disgusting.....they all got some bites, but every time they would bring their line and hook in, it would be empty.  This went on for a few hours.  Caleb even tried wading out into the river some, where he was sure they're be bigger, better fish, but still nothing.  I took my lawn chair and sat on the sand with my Diet Coke and magazine and soaked up the sun.  It was so peaceful and serene.  I was sitting there looking around and watching them fish when we first got there and I couldn't help but thank God for creating such beauty.  Sometimes we don't "stop to smell the roses" enough.  But when we do, it's just almost breathtaking and makes me know what an AWESOME God we have.  Enjoy your week.  I will post pictures next time we go.....got off, of course, without my camera!!
