After JJ's soccer game last Saturday, we ate lunch, packed and left for Toronto, KS. It is practically a ghost town. The only activity happening in their downtown is the Bait Shop that was open. I saw three gentlemen standing in front of the shop and by the time we swung back (we didn't know what direction to turn so we have to turn around) they were gone. I didn't see anybody else anywhere after that. The only thing that was interesting to me was the church called The Cowboy Church. It even had a horse pen beside it. JJ and I wondered if the people come to church in their horses (and buggy I might add).
So on to the lake we go. While we looked for a site where we can pitch our tent, we noticed timbers everywhere mostly washed up by the high water during the Spring flooding. We wonder how high the water must have been with these washed up logs. We pitched our tent in a site that overlooks the water:
.... and I found a perfect spot for the hammock - and there I laid, lulled by the breeze and birds singing nearby for about an hour. I was imagining I was back in San Pedro Island with the sounds of the waves lapping on the shore....ahhh...how relaxing!
Mike and JJ tried fishing but according to JJ he lost Wormy, Squirmy and some other ...rmy to a turtle. I don't know if that's the case, but almost all their worms were gone when they came up to our site.
I have started a fire already, thinking I'd start cooking supper, but then they decided to play croquette so we played one round of croquette.
While we ate our supper we were treated to a beautiful sunset. Oh Lord our Lord, how beautiful is your handiwork! The scene reminded me of Psalm 89:11 "The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours; everything in the world is yours --you created it all!"
Thank you all for following. Have a blessed week and be a blessing! We love y'all.
