Friday night Gina and I went to Lake Fairfield State Park for our date night. In all the years we have been in East Texas, we have never been to this place. We discovered some great trails and did some hiking. We walked the 2 mile trail that evidently connects with another trail at some point. As a result we probably walked an extra mile.
The last mile was probably the best however. We found a nice spot by the lake where we just sat for a while and talked and listened. While in the spot, we think we might have seen an eagle flying. Lake Fairfield is known as a place for such sightings. It was flying at a high altitude, so it was difficult to know for sure, but I claimed that it was an eagle. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
It was a great time of getting away. We saw four deer, three that crossed the trail about 50 yards ahead of us and one feeding in a field. We were 30 yards from her and she never flenched. She just looked up at us for a minute and then started feeding again.
Our date nights are always special. It's an important part of our relationship each week. So many couples do not intentionally spend time with one another. Various reasons exist as to why, but I would encourage you to make time to spend moments together. I have forgotten a lot of things over the past 25 years, but the moments we make always seem to remain locked in my memory. I think its the extra mile we walk together. Thanks for the hike, Gina.
