Fish Fly Hatch #8,974

It really hasn't been that many, but man this year has not been good to us boaters in the marina. One morning while we were on vacation we woke up to a huge fish fly hatch. Bruce power washed everyone's boats and the dock for over 3 hours. I walked out of the a/c and took pictures of a few of the piles and I think going from the cool to the humidity made my lens a little foggy. We have had a few more hatches since vacation, but now I brought up 60 gallon garbage bags that cover our lights perfectly. So hopefully when we have a heads up and get the bags on before they are out too thick we will keep them away from Dock #1 and send them elsewhere! I guess I wouldn't want to be elsewhere anymore!!!! I really think the city and marina messed up by not putting shut offs on the lights. The street lights in town have them after all. What were they thinking? Apparently they weren't! Hoping we are now done with the fish flies for this year!

Ty Football 2010

So finally remembered to take the camera to Ty's game Friday night and snap some pictures. We won 45-0 and Ty had 3 TD's but one was called back. I don't know what his class will think when/if they ever lose. They haven't lost a game since grade school. Wouldn't that be awesome if they never did lose one? I think our varsity team will be a force to be reckoned with when they are juniors and seniors. Not saying that the varsity team currently isn't. They haven't lost this year either. Love football season but sad to see summer almost over! Go Wapsie Valley Warriors!

Happy Birthday Hildegard

Today is my sister in law Helen's birthday. I love this gal. We have been friends for a very long time, and we truly have a blast with each other. Thank goodness we can spend a lot of time together because we spend literally EVERY weekend together April through October at the river on our houseboats. We do crazy stuff, we cook awesome food, and we just hang out and talk. And in the off months or when we don't see each other, my car just seems to turn down her road when I am heading home from shopping. Even when Bruce has just waxed it and done the wheels. Right Helen? Oh well he washed it again quick when I got home. He knew I had to have my fix of "Hellie"! I love you Helen Hildegard like a sister and I know that we are having an awesome day moving and winterizing our boats for the season on your birthday! May we have many more river summers to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries with our friends and family. Oh, and this winter when you are having th...

Most Of Us

Okay I just had to post this picture even though I did post it with all the college move in slideshow pictures. This is the emotional morning that we left to move Kyle into his dorm. I think this is a really good picture of all of us except obviously Cole is missing. But he always tries too hard and "sometimes" messes up pictures, so I think it is safe to say this is a pretty good picture of Bruce and I with 2 of 3 favorite children in the world! See.....I said you are ALL FAVORITE CHILDREN!!!!!!! Just wait until there are grandchildren.....none of you will make the blog very often!
