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.

Mid Week Report. Wednesday,June 18th

MONDAY.....

Chloe spent the night Sunday night and this was taken right after midnight...as you can tell they are winding down.





We woke up early with the loudest hammers I have ever heard. We knew this was gonna be a noisy day so we planned to get out as soon as we could. We went to the cliffs..... Blake, Chloe and Tyler jumped... and now Blake can not jump from the cliffs anymore.... kinda funny cause he has ragged Kyle so much about not being able to.... I admire them all I can't do it.



Some one took this picture of us ... we have very few taken of us so I decided I should post it.




We stopped at a new place on the way back from the cliffs that we now call the little cliffs. I think it will be a favorite spot. We watched folks jump from there last year but never got a chance to check it out. We were in a bit of a hurry and I don't remember why but I did not get many pictures.

This picture made the post because Brooke said look at them .... Raising the Bar.



After the pontoon trip the workers were still just as noisy so we loaded up and some went to Blockbuster and I went to wal mart to pick up Tyler's medicine.. Pat stayed home and believe it or not Tyler took a nap. I was not successful on getting the meds.

TUESDAY......

Tuesday morning Brooke and I got up early and went to Wal mart to get meds and to get some other things we needed. We made a loop by Moms and picked up Hannah to join us for the day. We were just getting ready to take the pontoon trip when Dustin called and was in town so we waited for him. We had another great visit with Dustin and even got him on the tube. We tied the other tube to the pontoon and we could pull 2 with pontoon and tube and some on the jet ski tube. Pat fell in the lake trying to tie the rope on the tube, lol. He was not hurt but now his cell phone is broke too. My screen had gone out in NC last week but I have had use of Kyle's since he is still grounded from it. I guess 1st chance I get I have to either buy a GO PHONE to put my SIM card in or find an affordable deal on another phone... our contract can not be renewed until November.

Hannah and Brooke relaxing, tubing and talking.
Dustin and Chris both were trusting of Kyle and rode the tube while he drove the jet ski. I think they both decided they might be too old for this, lol.



Tyler texting and eating pretzels... what a life.
Tyler took a turn as driver to give Kyle a break.... he sure would like to get Kyle on that tube lol.
This is a favorite spot we call rock island and the rock gets much bigger as the water goes down.




I found out the workers wanted to get us another bathroom going quick so I took off to Home Depot to get fixtures ....but was unsuccessful and was too late to go to Bull Building Supply.

Hannah spent the night ....oh and I worked on her computer off and on all day between activities and YES!!! I got it running right.

WEDNESDAY....

I got up and went to Bulls to buy bathroom stuff. Pat followed me and brought a truckload of stuff home for the workers. I still have to buy the stuff for my Bathroom ..but wanted to wait until later. I am getting excited about having more bathrooms. It is a challenge with so many folks and so few bathrooms. I called about the meds and still no meds so I did not go to Walmart. I returned just in time to get everyone moving to get beds put up and house in order so we could take the pontoon ride. Chloe came to join us. We went to the lil Cliffs.

The girls and Kyle were doing the tube and we all went to swim. Tyler found a perfect rock to stretch out in the sun.... was a great breeze and even cool if wet.



After a bit the jet ski did not show so we went to see what the trouble was..... they were not far away but moving slowly.... we tied the jet ski off to the pontoon and carried everyone back to lil cliff to play before a slow trip home. We had to cut the fun short cause Chloe had swim practice at 430 and Hannah had to go to church. Brooke wanted to jump so bad and did but not from the spot she wanted to. This is really a nice place to explore.






Tonight we fixed the homemade pizza and Chloe came back to join us after her swim practice. The workers made a lot of progress today and I can almost see a new bathroom by the weekend, lol. Too bad we all will be leaving about the time we get another bathroom.
