RD Bailey Dam

Saturday I spent the day alone while Pete was off doing training at work. I decided to take my camera, you know just in case. After buying some discount lumber and some snacks from Godfrey's corner I headed to the dam overlook and visitor's center. I started thinking about the times that I visited while growing up and all of the family moments on the lake. My family from Kansas would come in every summer and we would take the boat up to the lake and have a great day with a ton of family. Some of those family members have passed but the memories remain. It is nice to have a relaxing day and a day with the camera. The bonus was that when I drove up to the visitor's center that a couple from Indiana were there alone and asked me to take a picture with their camera. Of couse I obliged. As they were walking away I overheard their conversation. The lady said, "see honey as soon as I said God send us someone to take a picture of us, and He did." This followed by the gentleman saying, "and not only did he send someone but he sent someone with a camera." Maybe something simple but a small prayer was answered by me going to the Dam that day. If you are ever in the area visit RD Bailey Lake.
