Getting my feet wet.



I'm new to the things of the "blog" world. I'm not a fan of doing things outside of my comfort zone, but I occasionally like to try new things. I grew up in the Sierra Nevada mountains. I was lucky to be surrounded by the beautiful world God created and I certainly understood how fortunate I was. I don't live there now, but I live close enough to enjoy it today. I take our kids there and encourage them to,,,,get their feet wet. I realize they won't be able to experience the entire aspect of living in a mountain town, but I am grateful for the opportunity to introduce them to my ROOTS. So these last few months of summer we've been able to enjoy spending time up on the lake and taking rides on the boat. Raymond caught his first fish,,,and although he would NOT touch it,,, it was a proud moment for me. One of those things neither he nor I will forget. There's something so very cool about reeling a fish in,,,and to be able to see that enjoyment on his face was awesome.
