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.

1st Week of 2008



This week went really fast...... New Years Day I cooked and all the kids and Grandkids came to eat, except Kyle who was at deer camp all week. Kyle did come home for about an hour one night to shower and get some warming things for his hands. Brooke hung out with Tanner mostlybut did get some more time with her Dad. I worked Wednesday and Thursday and was off for the weekend. I VOTE FOR A 2 DAY WORK WEEK!!!! Monday's are not so bad when the next day is Friday.

On Friday morning Pat and Brooke and I left early to go to Bama. We had a GIRLS NIGHT planned for that night and wanted to get some things done before the Ali, Hannah and Chloe got there. Also a guy I use to work with ( he retired already) and his wife were coming by to visit for a bit and see our place. My friend and his wife have been in North Alabama working for a few months and really like it there I think. We had a really nice visit and hope to visit again soon when they are in Vickburg for a few days.

Friday night the girls had a great time and were enjoyable to be around. I do have a few pictures of them. They had Pizza, did makeups and made brownies, computered and talked on the phone, ate ice cream, lol. They were actually very good, but I still did not get my normal sleep.










Saturday the girls all left by 10 and I left shortly afterwards headed to take Brooke to meet her Mom. Brooke and I had a nice visit and probably the only one on one time we have had the two weeks. We always hate the departure and always promise to not cry lol and I think we both always try to keep the other from seeing , lol and most of the time we both fail. Spring Break will be here before you know it and Brooke will be back for a visit.

Satutday evening when I returned to the lake I took down the Christmas decorationsand cleaned up a bit. Mom and Dad came to visit and Susan brought us some Boston Butt that Rando had smoked and I had picked up some GreenTop BBQ sauce. Sue also brought Pat some potatoe salad and baked beans. I will say I was very good the weekend and stayed on my diet and turned down many things.......Later Saturday Marcia came for a visit but I guess we all realized we were tired and she went home early to crash and I crashed as well.

Sunday was a nice drive home and seemed Chris and the boys had managed just fine and were all ready for starting back to school. Thats about it for the 1st week of the year. All seem Healthy and Happy what more cane one ask for.
