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.

September ENDS

As always I should have loaded my pictures then done the typing, its just easier to do that, however once again I don't have time to rearrange everything.




Breakfast of champions, lol.
Will after his dad with a gummy worm.

Randy and Emma enjoying the ride withe the Alabama flag flying.


Attempting to feed the fish and making noise to try to get the gig carp to come see us.


Randy really enjoyed getting Will and Walker still enough to just hold . Dustin checked out every seat and view on the ride.

Emma got to be the 1st one to check out our bathroom, she will hate me one day for this, lol.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUSTIN AND JACY!!!

It was just too pretty and I wanted to show you.



I dd get the Halloween shirts made in time.


Even got these mailed to Eric's girls.


You know its been too long since you posted when you have to read the last post to know where to start. I know I will leave out lots of things just because I can't remember them now.

I have learned to make the trips to Vicksburg an adventure for me, I have been checking out various shopping areas and locating special stores, so that when I need things I know right where to go. This trip I located the Hancock Fabric store in Tuscaloosa and dang I just remember the 52% off sale ends tomorrow. I decided it is easier to shop at Hancock Fabric online and if you catch the sale and work it right no shipping charges. I don't shop for fabric often and rarely buy it unless its a 50% 0ff sale.

The trip to Vicksburg was to take Tyler for his stay awake study, which went really well. It will be another 10 days before he sees the Dr for the official results but I feel certain he will be allowed to get his drivers license. I was able to do a lil shopping when out getting him lunch. I picked up a beach towel at Bed Bath and Beyond and door bells at Lowe's. Neither of these stores are in Vburg or Jasper. I did not stay in Vburg for the Friday night game since it was going to be 2 hrs or more away and probably in the rain. I wanted to get back to Jasper on Friday to get ready for the weekend.

I was kinda disappointed that Pat has become an Alabama fan again, lol. It made for a boring game. I could not even get any Arkansas folks to pick back and forth on game day.... sigh. Oh well we Bama won and I guess Pat is an Ole Miss fan and I will just have to wait for that game. We had lots of piggy food for the game and were stuffed. We went to Randy and Glenda's after the game for a bday gathering for Dustin and Jacy and visit with Brandon and his children.

Sunday the weather was finally good enough for a pontoon ride and I was up early making the chocolate gravy and biscuits for the Myhand crew to join us and then go for the pontoon ride. It was a wonderful ride. We carried the kids to feed the fish and once again there were no fish to feed. I had hoped they would be there since the water level had come up so much. I know Dustin and Jacy think I don't know what I am talking about of these fish, lol since this is the 2nd trip they have gone on and no fish. There were a few small strippers and large brim but not the big carp that suck a baby bottle. We were back by 11 am and the rest of the day was just spent relaxing.

WE had started our concrete driveway last week but the rain put a stop to the work there so this week we are back to getting that done and with this gorgeous weather I think they will be finished before September ends.
Fall is here and the weather is just wonderful, I have so many things I wanna do during October. This is one of my favorite months and every other year we were in outage and I missed it. Hopefully I can do half of the things I have planned for this month. lol.
