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.

Beautiful week followed by more rain.

Once again I have pictures all together. This is October 15th 2009

October 2009 view from the den.


This is 1st week of November 2007









Love the wind chime, found this at Canton and finally just bought it. I have been looking at some forseversl years.







Another Canton shopping just had to have.


















Since the title of this says there was a beautiful week, I am sure there was but its been rain for 2 weeks I know. I never got any further than the title andnow I have no clue what I did on a beautiful week. I will try to catch up quickly and once again try to do better.










WE did get out drive way poured and man am I glad. I had hoped to get the front landscaping done soon as the drive was finished .....but RAIN!!!!











Why do I do this to myself, lol. I hate when I can't remember what I have been doing, I must get better at this or I am going to think I never do anything. I did make a trip to Canton chraft show last week even if no one could go with me. I got up at 3:30 a.m. and away I went. I must say Thank you hubby for the new van, I would have never made that trip alone in the old one. I rolled into Canton about 830 and parked in the same yard I have parked for years and years. I had a great shopping trip and bought a couple things that I really have been wanting. Pat says the new wind chimes brings on a new meaning to "listening to the wind blow". They do sound very nice although I have not been outside that much to hear them. I did open the doors one day and listen to the wind blow. I was finished with my shopping and had done the important things like have funnel cake and the chicken on a stick and was ready to go on to Vicksburg.





I stayed in Vicksburg until Saturday morning and then I got up at 300 am to take Brooke to the airport so she could go visit her mom for Fall Break. That went just fine and then I headed on back to the lakehouse.


I have done lots of sewing projects during the rain but will post them next time, since I have not taken pictures yet.


This week I decided to get a Bunco group going in Bama. I hope to get it kicked off on Tuesday, this will give me something to do and catch up with old friends and family as well. I wonder if we can make it a Pajama party, lol. I sure enjoy my pajama's lol.










This week has rained all week and the lake is higher than I have ever seen it in the fall. I love a full lake. I am going to try to post a picture taken in November of 2007 along with one I took today.
