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.

Keesee Reunion and More

Things have been busy here, I am sure I will miss some of the details of the past 2 weeks.
We left here and traveled to Vicksburg to take care of business and take the Gardner boys and Brooke's friend Teaghen home on our way to Arkansas to the Keesee Reunion. We were in Vicksburg 2 nights and 2 days. While there we spent most of Thursday in Jackson taking care of business and just having some needed Pat and Sandra with no kids time. I told Pat he might really learn how to have fun since I have retired. It is nice to get him out of the house and away from all the yard,TV politics etc. We also got Blake while we were in Vicksburg and spent some time with him. We have really missed him, even Brooke has, lol. I will say I have not even thought about GGNS until Thursday morning when I stopped at the stop sign at the end of our street. Its hard to break habits I guess. As I stopped at the stop sign I reached to my chest to check and see if I had my work badge on before pulling out, just as I did most every morning when I went to work. I thought it was funny and I did it again the next morning as well. I wonder how long it will take to break that habit.

On Friday Pat and I got to Arkansas about 2 and checked in a hotel, we took a nap and later went to Elaine's to visit. Was nice to get some time with her and her grand daughters. I will say that hotel had coldest AC and the best bed we have slept on in a hotel in a long time, or maybe we were just tired.

The Keesee Reunion went well, although it never seems long enough to get all the visiting in. It was good to see everyone and talk bad about those that were not there, lol. JUST KIDDING!!! We did miss Sonny and Doris and the rest that did not make it, You all know who you are.Below are some photo's.

We had a make over for the 2 lucky brothers and non other than their daughters to have the privilege.
The end results, what ya think? do they look cute?
