...the redneck beach that is! No, we didn't go on vacation! We just paid a visit to the bank of the Stones River here in Murfreesboro up by the Walter Hill dam...
...and he waded and fished all day long. We both soaked in the sing-song of the birds, the sound of the water rushing over the dam and flowing around the rocks, and the rays of the beautiful sunshine on a rare and oh-so-perfect 85 degree - low humidity - summer day!
He caught lots and lots of fish... I mean, had to take a break 'cause his back was hurting cause he caught a fish on almost every cast kind of fishing!
What did I do, you ask? Well, I sipped ice cold lemonade from our cooler, sat in the shade, and read until I could hardly see! With the occasional break, of course, to walk to the waters edge or to walk down stream with Chris, or to move my chair to a different spot in a shade as the sun moved. It was, truly, the next best thing to being at the real beach, and I was one happy lady...
...and he was one happy man.... fisher-man, that is! :-) What a way to spend a summer day! Perfection!Thank you Lord for your beautiful creation and all the creatures in it both great and small! You truly are an awesome God and I am thankful for every day you give me and all the blessings you fill my days with! Amen!

Oh I am so jealous! I used to go fly fishing with Ryan and do just that--sit in the shade and read! Those days are gone with little ones now. :) Looks like so much fun!
