Retirement Life at the Lakehouse

I retired June 2009 and I have spent much more time at The Lakehouse. I have enjoyed each and every day and have not had a bored moment. I stay so busy doing things I want to do that I rarely find myself idle. I guess with the major remodeling complete there has not been as much to post. This is a new phase of life at The Lakehouse and maybe I can post retirement memories.

2003 HIGHLIGHTS


In 2003 we had gotten the newer pontoon boat and could go faster. We took a lake break and took a trip to SIX FLAGS. Hp and Granny made a trip and we all played spades ONLINE. Amy and Phil made a trip to get Whitney after she had been here a week or two. We Replaced the floor on the swim dock this year.


Its Spring and many things to do. Picking up pine tree limbs is not one of them.


Spring and no pine trees. There is definately less yard work and hopefully more grass will grow. Pat is in the process of replacing the swim bock decking. Spring and much to do to be ready for Memorial Day. All the lawn furniture under the tarp will need to be cleaned . I am sure it will not be as bad as it was with all the pine trees.




The work on the swim dock had to be timed just right to keep from having to carry material down the steep walkway, yet in time to get complete before the pier is covered , so we have a place to be.



Spring and water level on the rise. This is just a different view.



May and swim dock complete. The swim pier is covered in water so as you can see we needed this swim dock complete.

Water level is high and it has been higher before, I am just never here to see it. But I have heard that it has gotten to just below the Big Deck flooring.

Here you can see the handrails of the pier. But have no fear if we have water on the rocks the 4th of July we will be doing good.


















May and still a little cool.


2 girls in red, ready for fun.



The waffle has been one of the girls favorite floats. Chloe, Ali, Whitney.


This is a challenging thing took many tries for Whitney and Blake to get this worked out.


Hannah, Whitney, Blake, Kyle, Brooke, Chloe and Ali all happy as can be.









When we have had enough fun in the sun , there are still things we can do.



We made a day trip to Six Flags with the whole crew.

We are waiting on the driver then we will all be ready to go.


Pat, Sandra, Headpen(Allen) and Granny.

I have seen something similar to this before . I guess this is one of those family things, lol.


Kyle feeding fish. I think he is gonna get a kiss from the carp.


Amy and Phil made a trip to get Whitney, we enjoyed thier visit.



Nice to pull 2 tubes at a time, we sure are enjoying the bigger better pontoon.



Nice rainbow in the sky. I followed this rainbow all the way from Jasper. I was just hoping that it did not go away or get dark before I got here to take a picture.


This is the 2nd tunnel just around the bend from THE LAKEHOUSE, the 1st one is covered up.








































































September water level on the fall, this is really not that low at all. Kids love this level for jumping off the pier. The only problem is getting out of the water is a trick. Thankgoodness we have the ladder on the swim deck. Reminds me of the Rock Creek lot where if you went swimming you had to swim til you got to a place to get out. I think that changed when we got the boat dock and there was a ladder there.
