River Day 07/13/2015

Nearly a month has passed since the last post.  We're really slacking this year.  To be honest though, there haven't been many (any ?) River Day celebrations since the last one in June.  Work, commitments, and family issues seem to be getting the best of us in 2015.

Before I post this week's activities, I'd like to ask Rivertarians everywhere (or anyone else that actually reads this blog) to please remember a fellow Rivertarian, David, in their prayers, light a candle, do a happy dance, whatever your particular mojo is.  He is very ill and not likely to be with us much longer.  May God be merciful to him, and his family.





This week at the river, several of us were able to make it down: Jay, Tim, Pat and I (Mark).  It's been a month since most of us have been there and was a much needed release from....things in general.  And let's not forget our visit from the local River guy, Freddy.

Everyone but Pat tried a little fishing, with little to show in the way of results; I caught a small red-eye, Tim caught a sucker.  The water level was a little high for this time of the year, and a bit muddy too.

We didn't do much in the way of a fire, and it's sad to think it may have been the best on the river.  But, it may have been the best on the river.

Let's all remember to be thankful for the time we get to spend with our fellow Rivertarians, and brothers.  We won't always have these days.
