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.

To Mississippi and back to the Lakehouse

We made a quick trip home and I was so busy the entire time. Two weeks at the lake spoiled me. We got there in time to see Brooke and Tanner graduate. They both went home with us and we have not had a quiet moment since. Kyle, was gone when we got home and I finally texted him he said he was on his way and would explain when he got there. ??? was he texted and driving???? When he arrived he had been involved in a fender bender. I guess be backed out of a quick stop parking spot and did not see a truck pulling a camper driving thru and he hit them. I know it could have been worse, and I am thankful no one was hurt. I tell you the next 10 years are gonna be tough... all these grandkids being teenagers and drivers. I pray every night they make it thru those years and me too.



Kyle got estimates and they range from 3000 to 4500. I sure hated to see his shiny truck get smashed up so quick.


On Thursday I went to the plant to visit a few folks and eat lunch with some guys before I had to be at the dentist. Needless to say I did not get to see as many folks as I wanted to and I was late to eat lunch and was not even hungry so I just visited with the guys and then off to the dentist. It's really hard to catch all the shifts to say good bye, but Maybe I will get some of them. I made the dental appointment and then home with pizza for the gang before graduation. I had so many mixed emotions at this graduation, happy, proud, sad, dissappointed, etc. I am sure this was the 1st graduation I have been to since Chris graduated and I was holding Kyle then, lol. Hopefully Kyle will make some good choices and wise decisions when the celebration wears off.
Tanner and Tyler went home with us after the graduation and on Friday morning we loaded for the Bama return. We picked up Blake at school about 9:30 and away we went. I love these kids but they sure can get on your nerves when they are excited, lol.

My projects I forgot to post last time are below.
