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.

May? Or is it April? Showers all weekend.










After much weather watching I decided to go to Bama anyway, and it was a good weekend. It rained and rained and rained but that was OK too, until I had to leave. I wanted to stay so bad and just watch the lake level rise...but I had to go so I can work this week and chase Bosses again. I still have not gotten my retirement paperwork signed! Its rediculous and I am out of ideas on who to call and what to do....I do know it will happen... at some point someone will get brave, lol. Anyway I don;t have a lot to tell about my weekend other than I did get my flowers planted before the rain started. I also got to see the new slab turnaround spot. I sure wish I had enough money to pour a concrete drive, but there is just no way at this time to do that. WARNING!!! WARNING!!!!WARNING!!!! If you come to visit you might not want to park by the front door even if it is raining... especially if it is raining. There has been fresh dirt put there that now has tire tracks in it... DEEP tire tracks, I was stuck when I got ready to leave today and Pat had to pull me out.

We are getting closer to finished, we still have some rock work to be done and hopefully they start that this week. We also need gutters really really bad andI hope that happens this week. The contractor only has a couple things to finish like painting 1 door and staining the front door a lil touchup painting and cleaning out the rest of his stuff in the garage. I did have a major accomplishment this weekend and that was finally getting to put my Christmas decorations away in their new home, lol.It was really nice to sit outside under the pavillion andwatch it rain, I think we will really enjoy having a roofed area outside.This is the lake view from the bedroom deck and you can see that the pier was not under wateron Friday but it is now and I suspect will be over the middle bar by tomorrow evening.

Until next time stay dry , lol.
