How could you have possibly missed that?
Every year, when the chance came that he could, my Dad would take us both hunting out into the woods. We went to hunt on public land, an area that was diverse, kind and not very harsh. My Dad would take us to the hunting land that next to a river that is known as a marsh.

When I was young, my Dad taught me how to fish. Over the years we collected quite a lot of stories from our own experiences and several from others. There's always been a few that are our favorites. Some that got away, some that we landed, so many that were caught that we had to give them away, and even the days where nothing nibbled at all, as we just relaxed with our thoughts.

Dad's Barbeque Ribs
What does summer taste like to me? Naturally when I was a child, summer meant the taste of freedom, except for when we had to work on those school books over the summer, and I'm not talking about the reading. It meant no more tyranny from school. It meant being able to stay up late, sleeping in till noon, late night fishing with Dad (mosquito bites included), mowing the lawns on other days than the weekend (cutting some green to earn some green, ka-ching!), summer band classes, and of course barbeque.

Dusted Ashes
“There weren’t always dragons in the Valley,” he thought to himself. The light pouring in from the slits in the window blinds, momentarily blinding him upon shifting his head. Ducking his head beneath the blankets, he thought to himself, “what I wouldn’t give for a couple of dragons right now.”

Heat Scurry
“There weren’t always dragons in the Valley,” she thought, with a hand raised over her brow looking out over upon the sun-bleached land. Moving the length of her arm across her forehead, she wiped the sweat off, shaking her head. “Phew, I should head back inside.”
