You can come fishing anytime, on one condition... that is that if you ever find your time machine, you've got to take me along! I loved your "perfect day." How's this for another use for that time machine...

To travel, oh, maybe 10,000 years into the future and find that mankind has finally learned to live in peace and harmony with each other as well as with nature! At least I hope that's what we would find.

Another fisher-person!!! Yes I love fishing... freshwater, saltwater, it doesn't really matter to me. Great day, Lisa!

Johnny

Why Bob, you old softy!!! Actually I think your wife is pretty lucky to have someone like you, buddy!

Johnny

It sounds like a "fairy-tale" wedding!!! Many congratulations!!!!

Johnny

Joanne,

I really hope for you and John that those simple "perfect days" are not too far away!!!

Johnny

I've changed my mind, I want your perfect day!!! I have always dreamed of snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, sleeping out on the deck of a boat and looking at the southern constellations, I can almost see the Southern Cross now! I also want to learn to scuba dive, by the way. The closest I've come so far was snorkeling in the Bahamas. It was really nice, but no Great Barrier Reef.

Johnny

Cindy, I so hope that you are able to have your simple wish of having days like those in the past. You deserve nothing less!

Johnny

Nope, never caught a blue. I've been trolling a couple of times in the Gulf, but really haven't caught anything great. The biggest thing I've ever caught was actually a striper, and that was caught on a pier in the Outer Banks. It weighed, I'd estimate, around 30 lbs. But I didn't even get to weigh it, because it was not in season and I had to throw it back. I didn't even have my camera. So that's why I said I'd have my picture made with the marlin, that way folks would believe me.

Oh this is such a wonderful thread to read,... thanks to you Johnny!

My perfect day would be spent in a deep forest of Northern Ontario paddling in an old wooden canoe through marshes of tall reeds and crystal waters. I'd love to be with my boyfriend and my dog (who is suddenly transformed into a passive cuddly pooch unafraid of canoes and so happy & relaxed that he doesn't bark like the maniacal child he normally is) breathing the clean air, and seeing a rare sight of young deer at the river's edge.

Finding a perfect spot beside a small waterfall, we'd sit on the rocks with cool water splashing over our feet, listening to the breeze through tall aspens. I imagine a peaceful hour or two spent painting an almost perfect watercolour of this scene, as my two best buddies played.

Then we think we hear.. laughter? Off my dog scoots to investigate and we follow him down a trail which leads out to a sunny clearing by a deep kettle lake. And here is EVERYONE on earth (and beyond) that I know and love gathered at a huge picnic! My Mom (in perfect health) is there with my whole family, all of my friends, Kicker's I've met, and the many I hope to meet one day (even the farthest away in Oz .) My Dad plays old folks songs on his guitar and we have a big sing-a-long around a campfire.

The night would end with just the two of us watching the magic of the Northern lights, and falling asleep together in one big warm sleeping bag on a bed of soft moss, with at our feet. Yep, if you're gonna dream ~ dream BIG!


And to Mr & Mrs Cheerful ~ may your deepest desires come true. I couldn't hold back my tears even if I tried, after reading your words.
