What a day at the lake

We went for a quick 2 hour boat ride with Bill and Tammy from church. Bill and Ted played on the tube and Tammy and I enjoyed the sun. Well, just when it was time to go home the boat died. (We were on their boat.) Two hours later we finally get off the lake and I missed one of the most important 4-H meetings before the fair.

From a 1978 to a 1996

We sold our old boat in 30 minutes on Craig's list and bought a newer ski boat. I'll post a picture when it's shiny and clean.

I love my new toy! Thanks Alex...I think you're fun, From Tracker

Firekeepers Casino

We went to the preview last night. It's not exactly Vegas. It was strange only driving 10 minutes to get there.

His favorite toy

I love it too, it keeps him busy for at least 15 minutes!

Angie the dog is home!

Angie the dog had a chip, but it was not up to date with her new home. Her owner did report her missing to the animal shelter, so I called him. He was very excited and so was Angie.

Tracker was disappointed, he likes friends.
