I'...it was so fun catching up with you, Linda. I'm not surprised that our lives, living on lakes, are so similar. You have a gorgeous view, and a beautiful long pier. We live on a bay, or cove, as you know, so it's not so great for pictures, but we have so much fun with our rubber toys, kayaks and recently added paddle boards. The actual lake, just down a small channel is way too rough for any of this. <br /><br />Storage is always a problem. We have a large garage and an oversized shed. Hubby is always searching for innovative ways to store everything. He rigged up something for the kayaks. It's okay except I can't reach them!<br /><br />I laughed about your weekend with four dogs. Another huge coincidence with us. Last weekend my daughter Emily brought her Boston Terrier. Rusty isn't so lovable. He's hyper and jumps on people (he's all muscle and scratches us terribly). So she brought him unannounced with my having 2 of my own-- Milo is reaching his end, Layla is teeny weeny and 13, and Abby brings her baby, big 'ol Squall, which we never mind because she is the only child with no spawns! It was total havoc. We had to constantly shift dogs from place to place as none of them got along. I rolled with it but I also asked that she hold off on bringing him until Milo is gone. Geesh, don't people think? lol! Doggy heaven!<br /><br />Ahhhh...life on the lake with all its drama!! And good times, of course!<br /><br />Jane Blondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071006614955267706.post-83811933382318195762018-08-03T14:22:35.470-05:002018-08-03T14:22:35.470-05:00Thank you, Melanie!
