While I was outside, I started looking through some stuff in the storage shed. Guess what I found? My fishing rod and reel! I've got my late husband's, too, and his tackle box. That makes me want to get some new fishing line for the reel and fix things up so I can occasionally just sit on a bank somewhere and fish. I might even start taking these things in the truck with me. You know, just in case.
When my kids were a lot younger I used to take our ball gloves, bats, balls, pool floats, and other fun stuff with us all the time. That way, if we were out and the mood struck us, we could go to a park and play ball or go to the lake for a swim. Those impromptu trips were really a lot of fun without the pressure of planning a lot of activities. We'd just go when we felt like it!
