Lakehouse Life without a Pontoon Boat

This week has been different without a watercraft of any kind. I so so so want to just go buy a new pontoon boat, but I know better. Besides not having the money or knowing when I would have the money, I have no clue what I would really want and I refuse to let Pat pick the next one out, so I have to do some homework and figure out exactly what I want and what I can afford. Hopefully we will get this one back from the shop next week, but some how I doubt it will be back by Labor Day.



WE carried the kids bowling on Monday night, partially to check out the crowd that hangs there and somewhere along the way I had promised I would take them, so they said, lol. I was surprised at the crowd, it was families mostly. The music was a lil loud for me, lol which I know does not take much, but it was a good atmosphere and something different to do.



I think I am the only one complaining about the pontoon. We went for daily swims, watched some movies, got caught up on computer time and xbox games. I have thoroughly enjoyed my little sewing area this week and Pat has enjoyed the quiet of our bedroom getaway.





The kids have been totally intrigued by neighbor kids next door. It has made it more difficult to keep up with the boys and with no pontoon they have more time to get into trouble, lol. I was glad when the kids actually came to our patio one night to visit, I was afraid the boys were wearing their welcome out. The closer it got to Friday the more I heard I don't want to go home can we stay another week, I even heard Drew calling his Mom to get her approval so he would be all set when Tracy got back from her cruise if Tanner could stay. Well they are staying until Wednesday as it stands for now.











Below you will find some of my latest projects.



These are for Eric's little girl and baby that is due in August. Next week I am going to get the new baby a blanket made I hope and get them a package headed that way before August 1. That's my goal! lol. Hehehe , Yes, I am stil goal driven and schedule oriented .... but I was before Nuclear Power.

These are for Brandon;s kids to wear on Emma's birthday.

These are for Brandon's kids to wear for Will and Walkers birthday.

Looking ahead to Halloween and getting some ideas.

I have started trying to do some baby things because I know of so many babies to arrive in the next 6 months.

I just had to do these for Tracy's friends that are expecting their 1st babies in October I think. I have to get more blue fleece to make them a blanket as well.

I guess I experienced my first moments of boredom since I retired lol. So I embroidered names on the old beach towels I have had for years, well I really meant to do this before summer got here and just never got to it. This will make it easier to know who did not hang their towel and also make you think twice before getting someone's towel cause yours is soaked, soured, lost, etc, lol.

Thats about it for this week. Things are winding down for the summer and we will have Pat's girls in to visit next week. It's looking like a cooler week and showers all week, I'm sure we will find things to do reguardless of weather.
