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.

Last weekend in August




I took my test and passed with a 94.4 wooo hoooo.


We made a quick trip to the Lakehouse for the weekend ... we left Saturday morning and came back Sunday afternoon. Kyle, Blake and Tanner went with us. WE stopped at IHOP in Tuscaloosa for breakfast with plans of being full and ready to hit the lake when we got there. Well a thunderstorm rolled in and we were not able to go out on the lake until 6 pm...sigh... Dad and Pat did put Pat's new boat in the lake and the old one out between storms and got the pontoon ready to sail, lol. We went to the rope swing on the bridge and let Blake get a taste of that.... much harder than he thought. I had forgotten my camera.. can u believe that geeesh. On Sunday we went out on the lake early and I used my cell phone camera to take a few pictures... they are not as clear but pretty good in a pinch, lol. I just discovered I could post video here.....so check it outas well... Geee Tracy did you know that ?????? Is that new or have I been blind???? We went to Moms for lunch and got to see everone including Eric and meet his wife Vanessa. Seems Eric is doing well and they are expecting a baby in April. We left there headed home and Kyle drove his truck to Vicksburg...under the direction of Pat.

AUGUST

I decided if Tracy was not gonna tell what she has been doing...I was not gonna tell either....lol.
August has been busy...Just a few words and the pictures will tell more.... I failed my annual Requal test .... but I still have a job, lol. I retest this Friday. The boys all got back in school and have been busy with football. Blake had a birthday and is now 14 years old....geeesh I am old. Pat has been staying busy fixin the go cart for kids and they ride then he fixes it again ...lol.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLAKE!!!!!!




























We had our last fling at the lake with Brooke last weekend. We got a chance to use the swing under the bridge...it is tougher than one would think....We went sand island so I could show Brooke how to shave her legs.....gosh all my grandkids are soooo ........growing up. Brooke and Tanner had some good times and we met Holly with Brooke on Saturday so Brooke can go get ready to start school. We have a few more weeks of good weather and hope I get this test behind me so we can get a couple more trips to the lakehouse .....We want to try to see Eric and his wife Vanessa while they are home and maybe a lil later on we will get a chance to go to Georgia to meet the twins and see what Miss Emma is doing. Until next time.....Take Care.
