Perfect Day

It only happens about once a year... if you're fortunate enough to get even one ... but you get that perfect day. Today was that day. It's unfortunate that I have to say it in the past tense. We got the fishing gear ready, to boat ready, the food ready and headed for the lake. The weather was a good as it gets ... not scorching hot, but warm enough to run the boat full out and not need a wind breaker. Just right. The water was clear and cool, but not cold. Just right. We docked on Sugarloaf island and hiked to the top (something I've always wanted to do, but never got around to) and enjoyed a fantastic view of Greers Ferry Lake and the surrounding country side. We tied off on a tree in the lake and jumped in for a cool-off swim. I fiddled around with fishing gear for all of 20 minutes, but then decided that was too much work. I went back in the water. We ended the day with a good old fashioned southern cookout complete with gnarly relatives, cholesterol blockage on a bun and sweet iced tea. It was awesome. Mordekai
