Great pictures.

I didn't know you played the drums.

 :rotf:

I've spent more time with a conductor's baton than I have behind a set of drums. It's hard enough to coordinate two hands without throwing in doing stuff with two feet also.

The Delaware Beaches. I lived on the Rehoboth Bay. I miss it.

Let nothing frighten you. 
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience attains all that it strives for.
He who has God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

Yes, anyone that can play an instrument amazes me, but the drums look like way too much multi-tasking for me!

I have to admit that when I went up to NJ/NY years ago, I took a look at a lake and thought it was so pretty. Then I looked closer at it, and saw how dirty it was. lol. I did like parts of Jersey though because the towns in that area were so small and cute. One could drive through them in five minutes. And of course, they had green unlike NYC. NYC could be exciting though, mostly because of the people.

Actually, that Lake Johnson in Raleigh that I posted up was actually very dirty when I lived across from it. I never saw anybody actually swim in the lake. lol.

 This park is roughly 1 mile from the house.






A lake about 15 min from the house, where I troll in a raft for trout. The guys in the pic are using float tubes.




The two towns I lived in before, I wouldent send my mother in law to live in, Sacramento, and San Jose.

Ty!  The park is Bille Park and the lake is DeSabla Res. The lakei s all of about 10-15 acres, pretty small, but PG&E stocks it with nice rainbows.

Up until first grade was over, (1971?) I lived in Viola, IL. The same rural town where my grandparents owned a business.
