Jerry and I each took a vacation day on Friday for a little R&R, just the two of us. We went to Lake Bonham and camped out.
Friday evening we brought in 9 crappie, we cleaned them and cooked them for dinner. There is nothing better than fresh caught fish, cooked and eaten in the great outdoors.
Saturday morning, Jerry went out early and caught 23 more. I stayed behind, to sleep in, but ended up getting up earlier than I meant to and broke down our camp while he was out. He released the fish, he had caught rather than having to clean them before we came home.
As you can see, Lake Bonham is beautiful. It's not large as lakes generally go around here, but the fishing is great and the campsites are near the water. We had a great view of the lake, and a shady campsite which made things pretty nice considering the heat. Our tent is a snap to set up and take down so the actual work went by pretty quickly.
We had a very nice time, just being together and enjoying the peace and serenity of nature, it's times like this that reminds me what we have together and how very special our love is.
There are a lot of houses along the shores of the lake. Almost all of them have private boat docks or boat houses and fishing piers. Jerry and I would love to be able to buy a house on the water front. Not really such a far-out dream. The houses are generally modest and likely within our budget. I think we will probably pursue that goal, sometime in the not-so-distant-future.
But in the meantime, we have babies and weddings to plan for. Real life goes on, but we do have wonderful weekends together to make plans for future dreams come true. That also, is part of real life and part of what makes us stronger.
