Pictures from the past weekend.

J even got a turn in the tube. He loved it!

Is this our Christmas card picture this year?

A nice crappie from Atwood.


K was not to be out done, he could his on his first cast of the day.

B left for S. Carolina this morning. We just got word they arrived safely a little bit ago. She will have a fun time. She is returning on Saturday.

B had the Plain Twp parade on Saturday morning. It was a long parade in terms of distance. But, they were close to the front of the parade, which is always good for me. After the parade, we headed home. T took B and J back to Atwood, while K and me went to the Akron Aeros game. I remember why I am not a huge fan of minor league baseball. The game takes too long. Before the game Perry Baseball paraded around the field. We were back to Atwood by 10:15.
Sunday, T was called off work. It wasn't a big surprise. We had a fun day at the lake. We stayed Sunday night. It is always peaceful on Sunday nights when there are just a few campers on the point. In the morning, we finished packing up. T took the kids to Bible school, while I went golfing at Atwood with my Jostens representative. I had a good front nine and a tough back nine. Then I went on to golf in my league. I didn't play real well in the rain, but it wasn't my worse night.

We are home for one night from Atwood. I would explain why we are home, but it is too long.
Anyways, we went down to Atwood on Wednesday and enjoyed the quiet surroundings. We did all the normal stuff we do when we camp. It finally felt like summer with some warmer weather. My neighbor Jasen and his kids were down yesterday for some boating, swimming and campfire.
Tomorrow, B has a parade. After the parade, T, B and J will head back to the camper. K and I will join them after the baseball game tomorrow night.

Check out the San Angelo Colts at sanangelocolts.com. They are 25-10 and in first place. I might have to head to Texas for the playoffs.

I think the Indians are still playing baseball. They might be 20 games under .500 by now. It has been a long season and is only going to get longer. I am glad I did not renew my season tickets to see AAA baseball.

I needed some help 'driving' the boat and J was there to help me out.






Boater's Beach on July 4, 2009




One stinking shot....My team lost the Kieb Golf Outing by one shot. If we would have made par on the first three par threes, we would have won by two strokes. But, I still had fun and help raise $1500 for the Kieb Scholarship.
The Kieb Outing is the golf trip to Michigan I do ever year. This year, I took K to play with Jared's son. They had a fun time playing together.
Friday night we had a small cookout. It was a beautiful night with friends. Everyone had a good time playing corn hole, ladder golf or just hanging out. All the kids played nicely together. Next year we are planning a big party for mine and T's b-day.
T started her new (old) job at Subway. She is returning to Subway after an 11 year absence. She is going to work part-time evenings for now. She is still hoping to get hired at a school this fall. If not, she will sub again this year.

The kids.

B blowing out her 'candles.

We went tubing for the first time of the year on June 24. We used papa's boat to tube, while the others were playing at boater's beach. We would use the pontoon boat to tube the following weekend.



Wow....I haven't posted in so long. I don't even know where to begin. We spent plenty of time at the camper. We spent plenty of time on the boat. The weather has not been 'summer' like yet. Well, we did have two 'hot' days towards the end of June.

B turned 11 on June 22. We spent the weekend at the camper. She wanted a friend to spend the weekend with us, but her friends could not stay on her birthday weekend. Her friend did spend the weekend with us the next weekend. They stayed in the tent and stayed there all night. She purchased a new bike with her birthday money.

Somewhere since my last post T was hired by Subway. She will be an Assistant Manager. They would have hired here as a store manager if she wanted, but she doesn't want to work 50 hours a weeks, and 3 out of four weekends a month. Actually, she started today. It has been 11 years since she left Subway. It is hard to believe it has been that long.

I will fast forward to this weekend. We went to the camper on July 1 and returned today. The weather was cool until yesterday. We did not go out on the lake to watch the fireworks. The fireworks were pretty good. We sat on the causeway and watched them. The campground was packed. It is fun when the place is busy.

My golf game has been improving each week. Last week I played my best all year. I shot a 41 and shot a 43 tonight.

Ok...hopefully I will not go 3 weeks to blog again.
