Therapy
Occasionally you find someone who just needs to get away from
it all for a morning and go Carpin’. The joy of sitting in the ALVA D on a cool foggy
morning is just good therapy. To be honest, words just can’t do it justice. As they
say, “It’s just good for what ails ya!.” You and your partner may share
coffee and a breakfast together. You chat and reflect on a hectic week. Conversation may
revolve around aches, pains, family and other topics but soon, if only for a short time in
the beauty of God’s creation, you become relaxed. You are reminded of simpler times
when there was no pain, no bills, and very little responsibility. I believe that God
designed nature, in part, for that very reason.
There is another therapy that is far more important than even
Carpin’. It is called friendship. With a friend you can be yourself. There is no
pretense. There are no expectations. A friend likes you just the way you are.
The best combo of course is when your friend also loves Dog
River and loves to fish for Carp. In my finite mind there is no better therapy than the
laughter shared with a friend while Carpin’ on the Dog. That laughter is indeed, good
medicine. I laughed today with a friend.
Who was this friend that I shared laughter with? What were
the highlights of this cool, crisp morning on the Dog? I thought you’d never
ask……….
My guest today was Chuck Wolf. Here are our highlights:
1) Chuck out-Carped me 3-1.
2) We saw a huge Hawk.
3) We found an enormous Hornet’s nest (from a safe
distance)
4) We witnessed a squirrel actually swimming across the creek
and thinking he was a beaver or a muskrat, pursued him in the ALVA D.
5) Chuck realized that my digital camera not only takes
pictures but does 80 second videos as well! As soon as I figure it all out we may be able
to send out some action shots as well as the photos! Until then I will be attaching a
couple of pictures from the day’s adventure.
 
For about 4 hours today we were boys again. Playing in the
creek and just having fun. That is good therapy.
Don’t Forget!
