I missed a picture!!

I knew it would happen and darn if it I didnt have a photo opp last night and didnt have my camera. The one and only total bummer about my camera is it is big. So its not so easily "toted" around. I do have a smaller "cheaper" camera but I am not as amazed at the photo quality from it.. but for the purposes of this project I will have to start carrying it with me to catch those moments or awesomeness away from home. So following is a few more days to catch up and for yesterday I will just have to use a random photo possibly representing what I wished I would of photographed last night.

Aug 8th: Our final full day at the Lake resort. Today we have a visits from some good friends Brenda and Scotty along with Kyeley and Brian and thier kids. The day progressed like all the others. Fishing in the morning, pool in the afternoon and fishing at night. Tonight we also had a campfire and made smores with Reeses peanut butter cups.. Deeeelishhhh~ My picture for this day says a lot. Its of "J" and the fish she caught. She was obviously over the thrill of it once it was close to her. It was pretty funny to watch. At least she finally got to catch one. This place is normally an easy place to fish at. You can catch the bluegills like crazy but they stocked it with Bass to control the bluegill population and all that ended up happening was the Bass took control of the lake. So now you are lucky if you can see a Bluegill while the bass are allowed to take control. With that comes the difficulty to catch anything because bass are smart. And I am pretty sure they hold a nightly meeting to decide what bait they are biting on and what they will pass on by. It seemed as if each day the bait that worked the day before didnt work the next time you fished. Its a conspiracy!! LOL


Aug 9th: Today we head home. I was up before dawn this day and rather then lay in bed I took advantage of being able to have some peaceful time to myself. I decided to catch up some more on my reading and just reflect on all the beauty that surrounds me. I do love a sunrise. Its like a a present every day.. an opening of a new day. A chance to begin again. I like to start each day hoping I can make a difference some how be it with something I say, something I do or something I share.
So today we head home, I am excited actually because at this point I have not been in my own bed for 10 days. And while I enjoyed every moment of my time away from home, feeling especially refreshed and and renewed there is just something about coming home. Its welcoming and familiar. Its conforting to know that I have somewhere to come home to. What is home to you?? Think about it..it more then just a house. Its all the things that encompass that house, your family, friends, your God your life..
