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.

October ends

This is the last week of October, when all the ghost and goblins seem to come out. I felt like a witch all week, everything and everybody got on my nerves, lol. I think its just the burnout from work and being gone to Bama last weekend I got behind on my chores and just could not get caught up. I tried to do supper on Tuesday night like we were doing before the outage and make it a lil birthday gathering for Kyle and Chris, but it did not work out. I found out Wednesday night would work so we all got together and had hotdogs and chili. Was really good to see Tracy's family, especially Rusty and Tyler. We had a nice visit and just enjoyed being together. Kyle was in a bad mood because a boy named Spooky had asked to borrow his phone to call his mom to come get him and after making his call ran off with the phone...Kyle ran after him, but them Rigsby short legs just could not do the job, and probably a good thing, being he is 18 years old now. Kyle filed a police report but he did not know the kids name, just heard his name was Spooky. The next day he and Tracy both talked to friends in low places and found out the kids real name. I doubt he ever gets it back, but maybe he will.



I have not had a camera here to take pictures because Pat has had it in Bama. I know Tracy has some good pictures of Halloween fun and tacky day at school so look at her post when she gets it done.



Pat came home on Thursday night and it sure is good to have him home, but I do miss the daily pictures and immediate update anytime of day, lol.



The lakehouse project may never end, so it seems. They did finish hanging sheet rock inside and also the garage. They finished the ceramic floors in the kids xbox room and bathroom. I am sure they painted some too, lol. They installed the potty's in the bathrooms on the bedroom end.

The dresser that matches my bedroom stuff was delivered this week. I did not buy it originally because I did not have room for it and then I found it still at the store this summer and reduced a bunch, so I bought it in June and waited until now to get it delivered. Notice the blinds are installed on the windows.
The archways have been formed with sheet rock and will shaped up better when the sheet rock floater comes to do his art work.

This is a view down the hall thru the computer room, which use to be the guest bedroom.
This is a view from the den bar area thru the kids xbox room to the back door to the garage

A better view of my dresser. I will add that the quilt on the bed is not meant to be pretty it is there to keep Pat warm, lol. I think he covered the new comforter with the quilt. There is not gonna be blue anywhere for a few years, lol.
This is my vanity with the mirror installed.

The weekend was mostly quiet with Chris working and Brooke at Tanners and the boys gone to their Mom's, but it was so nice to have 2 days off at home to do some deeper cleaning, major grocery buying and extra resting.
