Things change, but we have memories!

This is what our park looked like this past Wednesday.  There is never a boat on this lake, but this week we had boats, attempting to stir up the water enough to save the fish.  The geese are usually IN the water and there are usually kids playing at the park.  This week the geese were wandering around the playground and the kids were all on the edge of the water watching the boats.  It's been an interesting but sad thing.  They think all the fish are dead.  Our fisher people will have to go somewhere else, but those of us who like to watch geese, turtles and other birds can be content with our park when it returns to it's normal peace and quiet.  The kids can still play on the playground.  When our kids were little we'd come here for Thanksgiving every year and as soon as the kids said hello to the grown ups, they'd say, "Can we go to the park?"  Off they'd go.  Now, their kids go running to the park as soon as we'll let them.  Our memories are full of good times at this park.  I thank God for the precious memories and the ability to recall them!

It's 96 degrees outside and I'm headed to the park to check out it's status today.  I was waiting for it to cool down outside, but that might be midnight.  Cancer doesn't like heat, so I'll go do some cancer fighting and check out the park!
