time goes by so quickly, and the dreams and memories which we,ve shared and still share and make time for, are the most important times in my life,and they will be embedded in my heart mind and soul even after my destiny, to live on thru my son. i know they will. as they will with yours. it,s a beautiful fall day, leaves have fallen off the trees, and the colors are now all on the ground. it looks like a blanket has been spread there just for cliff and i to setup the tent. the wind is blowin a light breeze that tells us of what is to come. but when? i decided that day just to pack the gear and say to heck with it , we,re goin to the resivoir out in plymouth vermont. it was the last weekend of fishin and i said we,re gonna get in a good day of fishin for it ended.cliffie,5 and full of it, cause i started him fishin when he was in diapers. haha kept sayin lets go he loved it.so. also laddie john who was a black lab year old pup, good size for his age, and he watched over cliff like i did. so i never had to worry with him around. we set up the tent got the fire agoin and had a couple nice rainbow over the fire. WE fished till it started gittin dark. anyways but we didn,t catch anymore.we both were gettin tired. even laddie. so we crawled in the sleepin bags went right off. before i knew it i heard mamamamama, i said WHAT, I,M WET!!! I LOOKED AND I GUESS SO! IT HAD SNOWED. NO WONDER LADDIE HAD CRAWLED IN WITH ME. HAHA well anyways, it was time to go fishin anyways. got him up and dryed off, new clothes jacket and whatever and proceeded to catch the best browns we,ve ever caught out of that good size pond. laddie was watchin cliff while he was reelin his in. he done good. jumpin up and down both of em. it was gittin hard for me to fish but i managed. till all of a sudded i hear dub hollar mamamama i looked and it had to be at least 4 lb. brown but i had agood one on too. i see cliff just a reefin on that little pole. the line broke while i was just gittin mine in but thank god laddie john knew what to do. i had to laugh, that hound went right in the water cliff too, course right up next to shore, and laddie grabbed it by the head andd cliff by the line and they both brought it in together. laddie was teasin cliff and told him this is my fish too. we got it away from lad cause he would of ate it right there if we didn,t. even my jake would of ,but that,s another story. haha cliff is now 26 and i miss havin him with me everyday. but when i do these are the things we remember and talk about. i,ll never forget cliff. love ma
