The nerd corner!

John and Savannah are fixing up their basement so they can enjoy it.  She’s made a craft area and Johnny made this nerd corner for audio, instruments, etc.  He’s enjoying putting together our old systems and pulling out all our old CDs, cassettes, and even some LP’s. We’re discovering and re-discovering all kinds of past music and technology. Those are my speakers from college, Julie’s dual cassette deck from high school, and Steve’s phonograph.  Mixed in is an Amp I used to have, a DVD/VHS deck, and zillions of our old CDs and even some mix tapes🤪

Complete…

With this final hour or so, reading with my mom by the dock, our quick trip to lakeside was complete. We left with full hearts and tears of joy on our faces.  So blessed…! Thank you Lord!

Love this sailing pic I grabbed.

It was a beautiful day for it.  But a little bit of a quick trip to try this time. Too much other Lakeside wonderfulness to make sure we fit in.

Ian, Caroline and Laura took great care of us for meals!

They treated mom and me like a queen and prince! Here we are eating taco salads out back.

Cameo by Heather (Perry) Lutz who enjoyed her first Lakeside visit.  She’s Laura’s dear friend from high school.

I’ve run out of sick days…

…so I’m calling in dead!

This has to be my favorite Lakeside t-shirt.  It’s been around for about twenty years.  It’s faded, thin, and has holes, but I still hold onto it and wore it up there recently.  

Another options is to retire and not have to worry about sick days…! 🤪

I’d change it to I ran out of sick days so I called in retired! hahahahaha. 

Buzzed by a baby dear….!

As we were fixin’ to leave, a fawn read right past me from behind.  He was within a couple feet of me as he zoomed past.  We turned around to see his sibling and the mama trying to find him and get him back with the group.  Typical kid! Hahahaha.

A few rousing games of pickle ball

Caroline pretty much smoked all of us…! At least I held my own and scored a few points.  I enjoyed sitting on the wall and getting a break while watching her and Ian (he lost too) duke it out.  

Enjoying Patio donuts on my four step bench

The bench was about four steps from where we parked the golf cart haha. What a nice way to enjoy the morning. 

Cool mayfly colors and pic

Enjoying a Lakeside sunset with the gang❣️

Perry’s Monument and the sunset on Lake Erie❣️❣️

Wow!

I liked the gold lining around some of the clouds as the sun set behind them!

Cool sunset

That’s Ian and Caroline out on the left edge/corner of the dock.  We all enjoyed watching the sunset together.

Cool shirt

It has the names of all the north-south running streets in Lakeside including our old cottage’s street❤️ I got a sticker with the same graphic.

Once a mother, always a mother❣️
