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.

Labor Day Weekend!!!! ... Thru Mid September :(

Well, I will start by saying I am very dissapointed with my Labor Day weekend. I was so looking forward to a 4 day weekend. THis dang J O B sure messed me up this time. Basically it was a busy week here and I had to work 12 hours everyday, seems our plant has a problem and we have to shutdown for a 2 to 3 week outage( nothing dangerouse to the public or even us... we just can't produs=ce but 50% power until we replace a pump motor). I did manage to get off a little early on Friday and go to the Vicksburg vs Clarksdale game for the Red Carpet Bowl at Warren Central. It was a good game even if we did lose 17 to 28. Most of you probable do not understand this but it was Really Really strange sitting in the Warren Central stands and yelling for the GATORS. I will say we have all made the adjustment well. Was kinda like old times with Squeekie sitting with us yelling "PUT RIGSBY IN!!!!!!!" I remembered a few things I had forgotten..... #1 Now I know why I sat on the far end of the field years ago..... away from the band even when Tracy was in the band.....I will do better next week, lol. The band was good I just have a low tolerance to noise and was a little hard to talk. We really enjoyed the game even if we lost and enven if they never put RIGSBY in or GARDNER either. The weather was nice ... I did not even sweat.... and heck they even provided us with fans like I remember having in church as a child, back before air conditioning. I hope to get off early again on Friday and go to the VICKSBURG VS WARREN CENTRAL game. There will also be Junior Varsity games on Monday nights and Blake will be playing in the 9th grade games on Tuesday nights... and don't let me leave out the college games on TV .....so you can see we will be football bound for about 10 weeks. That will bring us right to Deer hunting season, lol. This week has been uneventful ... but everyone has been extremely busy.

I did get off on last Friday in time to go to the VICKSBURG vs WARREN CENTRAL game. I will say that was a good game, although I think both teams were not showing their real abilities. WE won.. GOOOOOO GATORS!!!!!!!!!!! We have become true Gatore fans ... no doubt. Kyle and Tyler were both not in uniform due to Kyle having a bad knee and Tyler has been having some wierd stuff happen and has been taken off football a few weeks until he has completed test by the doctors.


On my one day off I was as good to myself as I could be.... I did go shopping for Pat a GREEN shirt and a GATOR cap. Pat went to deer camp for work day and me and the boys watched some football made taco salad and just relaxed and got ready for another long hard week. I will say ONE DAY OFF SUX!!!!

Monday I got off early to watch Kyle play with the Junior Varsity( his knee much better) and they won I think it was 13 to 0. On Tuesday I again got off a lil early to watch Blake play and his game was so good then so dissapointing. They scored early in the 1st quarter of the game and score was 6 to 0 until the last 4 minutes of the game and gosh they had 2 fumbles and Clinton recovered and made touchdowns both times and the game ended with score 13 to 6.

It is really hard to remember what has been going on here ... basically I have been working 12 hours .... Chris has been working 12 hours.......Boys have been doing football ....Pat has been holding down the home front and picking up kids. If all goes well today will be my last long day and I am hoping to get off early to go to the ballgame which might be in the rain, lol. I don't even have many pictures to post... but I will say these GATOR GUYS look nice on Mondays in thier ties. I guess I am gonna have to sneak over to Tylers one Monday morning. I am sooooo looking

forward to having 2 days off this weekend... and sooo much to catch up on, however I plan to sleep in both days and do nothing but what SANDRA wants one day, lol.











































I just had to post a movie clip of something so here is one of the summer cliff jumping and notice Kyle is crawling under the rock cliff to get to another spot for graffiti, lol.
