My Sanctuary







You ever have one of those places you can go to and find peace, comfort, and tranquility? For me, one of my favorite places of "sanctuary" is on my mother and father-in-laws property in Marysville OH. They have an awesome house on about 40 acres of property. Most of this property is wooded but before you get to the wooded territory there is a HUGE pond that my FIL keeps stocked with large/small mouth bass, blue gill, and it has it's own abundance of bullfrogs and turtles.





I could literally spend all day out at the pond. If I'm not fishing I'm sitting on the dock enjoying the beauties of my surroundings or I'm out on the pedal boat just floating around the pond. This is one place that I can go and clear my head and recall some of my fondest memories from my past. It gives me a chance to put life into perspective, to regroup, and to just relax. It also gives me the thrill of reeling in "THE BIG ONE"! Being a farm pond the fish don't get as big but if you use a little pole, such as Jesse's little Scooby Doo pole, ohhhhhhhhh you can have some fun, lol. I got to spend the entire day Saturday in my "sanctuary" and it was refreshing, relaxing and fun!! If you can't tell I LOVE the outdoors, always have and hopefully always will.
