Lake Texoma

Okay.

So a week before July 17th, my husband and son had gone to Lake Texoma and made redneck water slide down on one of the islands at Lake Texoma.

Well, my son had gone down, gone down.

He's like, "Come on, Dad, come down with me." My husband goes down and broke his femur.

I guess.

Uh, so, you know, my dad's been taking us on fishing trips, and chartered fishing trips out on, uh, Lake Texoma, and this last weekend was the one where he sent all the girls out.

So my mother, my wife, my sister-in-law, or should have been my sister-in-law, she was feeling sick, so my brother went, and, uh, my daughter and his, his daughter.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, so with that said, uh, just reflecting back on the past week, I'll give you an update.

Uh, we did go, like we've done the past few years, up to Lake Texoma.

That's between Texas and Oklahoma.

You can go look it up on a map, uh, for a few days.

It's day number two out here.

Catfish infested waters of Lake Texoma once again.

You can probably see that it is overcast and there's wind.

No, it's not the Gulf Coast.

And I've said this before, I'll say it again, and we don't have to have all the answers today, but to just ignore things and to act like we're not living in a different time period now would not be very smart.

All right, so I'm out here.

It's toward one o'clock in the afternoon, taking a walk along the Texas side of the beach at Lake Texoma.

It's not Gulf Shores, but after three years out here, three different years coming out here.

Well, I missed you guys last week.

I was at Chickasaw Point playing one of our little nice little golf courts down near Lake Texoma.

Just so everybody knows, the lakes in Oklahoma City in general are really low, but so is Lake Texoma.

It's sad to see how low our lakes are.

You know, T-Dub had kind of said this golf course is a little funky, and he was right.

I did a lot of stupid crap on horses.

Uh, when I was 11, my brother and I got on our horses and we rode from Dallas to Lake Texoma.

That's 100 miles on horseback when I was a child.

And my mom and dad are great parents.

Um, and they were awesome.

When I was 11, I got on my horse, and my older brother got on his horse, and we took off, and we rode from Dallas to Lake Texoma.

Or we tried to.

We didn't-- The horses gave out about halfway there, but, uh, I couldn't even imagine it.

And so my, uh, my grandmother, um, was an avid burger and traveled all around the world birding.

And so I, I got my love of nature, um, you know, from her living up at Lake Texoma and, you know, as, as a little kid and, and, you know, my nickname was nature boy and I was nature Nate and that's not just a brand.

I mean, I was just, I just love nature and I love, um, God's creation.

And so,
