Postcards

You know the expression, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”? Romance is sort of like that, too. If the two of you enjoy it, and it draws you closer, then it's romantic ... even if it involves frozen squid. A few years back, we decided to spend some time at Gulf State Park. We rented a cabin, and we noticed the lake as we drove in. After some swimming, shopping and a great meal, we decided to pick up some bait and try our hands at fishing. I had packed an ultralight rod-and-reel combo, so we baited the hook with some squid pieces and cast into the water. WHOOSH! The bait was gone and the hook was empty. The more times we repeated the process, the funnier it got. We never did figure out what was grabbing the bait and eluding capture, but whatever it was, it got a good meal and we got a good laugh.
