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.

Saturday, June 14th

Today we were able to sleep in a little later since there were no hammers, but we were still up by 8 a.m. I cooked the chocolate and biscuits that was requested for breakfast and then we took out for 1 more lake trip before Tracy, Tanner and Drew had to leave. Tyler decided to stay with us until I go back to Mississippi. There had been rain around 4 a.m. and we had to stay close as it looked like we could get more. We went tubing for a bit and stopped to check out the bridge swing area. The water level is higher than it was late last summer when we discovered the fun at the bridge and we had to park further away due to rocks. When we examined the area it was not safe looking so we just swam there a bit and decided to watch for a few days and see what others were doing there. The water seemed to shallow to the rocks to swing from the rope that was hanging.




Tracy left about noon and we basically grabbed lunch and spent the the rest of the time til 3:30p.m. rotating thru the bathroom getting ready to go out to eat. It sure will be nice to have more bathrooms, lol. Randy was taking Dad out for Fathers day and invited us all to join them so we decided we would. We took a scenic route and carried the kids to see the other side of the dam. They had never seen it except from the water side. They were no as impressed as one would think. Tyler and Brooke did not get out of the van, lol.

We had a good group show up at THE ANGLER restaurant. Dustin and Jacy were able to join us as well. We all filled up on the coleslaw and corn bread and even ordered appetizers before our meal was ready. I think everyone enjoyed the meal and it was all very good. We took a different route home and basically we drove a complete circle thru 3 counties and around the lake. Randy and Glenda and Mom and Dad stopped by the house to visit more before they headed on home. It has really been a nice week spent visiting with family members.
