Friday night we all got in around 730 and we sat around and had dinner and laughed. The guys talked about what they were going to do about purchasing land and Steph & John announced that they are getting a puppy!!! I'm wishing we could be getting a puppy too, but oh well, I'll just have to enjoy their's and send it back when I'm finished with it.
It was discussed the night before that we would be taking the dock out at 8 the next morning...ugh that seems early, but surprisingly we were all up and ready to go by 8. Of course that didn't happen... I noticed that I forgot to pack Jeff gloves so I ran into town to get those, and when I got back the deck was already off the dock and the cherry picker was coming down the lane ready to chop a couple of the trees down in the back yard! Jeff hated the noise and everything made him nervous so we were inside for awhile, then I did some homework, and it was back outside to help do a few things before Jeff was up and we were headed to church. It really was a busy day, all the branch hauling, raking, etc...the joys of fall at the lake! It was a relaxing evening though, we all sat around watched TV, ate Lucy's ice-cream for the last time of the season, and played games...it was a lake night!
Today was more work and play!!! We started off with a visit to O's cottage that is getting built and holy crap is it HUGE...that is the only way to describe it. Way to big to be a lake home for me, but hey it will look great when it's all done. We spent the entire morning blowing leaves, raking up junk, and splitting logs...again, the joy of fall at the lake. It was fun though, and boy does the yard look nice when we were finished with it. Of course when we go back up in a couple of weeks, all of the leaves will be done again and it won't look like we touched a thing. We got out of there at a decent time came home, started laundry, started running our dishes and stuff through the dishwasher to get all of the dust off of it, and then we ran a couple of errands. We checked a few things off of our list for the house...our mattress is boughten and our paint is bought for the house!!! Feels good to have that done...
Tomorrow is a huge day, we close on our house. I figured I would be more nervous, maybe I will tomorrow, but I cannot wait to have a place to call our own...starting tomorrow!!!
This is how Jeff likes to eat breakfast...and yes John had to be in the picture!
This was the beginning of taking the trees down...
Aunt Steph & Jeff - they needed a new picture!
Mommy & Jeff... we needed a new picture, but my hair looks awful
This is how docks are taken out now...crazy if you ask me!
Jeff helping with the leaves... he's raking them the opposite way!
Tasting dinner...
Jeff's Halloween Costume... he's a railroad crossing, but a boiler maker one!
