A fond farewell to all the cats in the pond

This week marked the end of my fishing privileges at the pond where my mom lived for over 20 years. In that time, we had a LOT of fun rowing the boat around, watching turtles, catching bass, catching sunfish, and catching channel cats. 

I don't really have a lot of deep thoughts to share about all this, but it did seem appropriate to do a blog post this week and share some pictures and a little video. While I'll miss fishing at the pond, more than anything I'm just grateful for all the time spent during family trips down there. Nothing beats a nice home in a quiet setting away from all the noises of the city with a pond full of catfish.

I hear the new property owner has already been scoping things out in his kayak, which I think is pretty awesome. Sounds like the right people moved in!
