Friday Foto

We opened the houseboat up and got it ready for the season last weekend.  Here is just a snapshot of how that first weekend goes.  Friends know you are there and just stop by with their coolers to visit and have a few beverages together.  So of course you have to stop working and enjoy the fact that you are back with your summer houseboating friends even if it is only for a few hours.  We did end up going out to eat with Kevin & Ann, and saw Tim & Kris and Kevin & Ann on Sunday when they stopped by also.  Just realized Louie is missing from this picture so he must be on his boat mixing a drink.  I doubt he is standing back by me.  Oh how much better the boat looked when we got done for the weekend!  It is always so nice to get everything cleaned and all the woodwork wiped down.  I ordered new blinds for the front windows today and we plan on replacing the carpet throughout this year, too.  Unless it costs a small fortune.  Then I will put up with my "heavily used" white too light  carpet for another houseboating season.  Cannot wait to see these guys every weekend starting soon.  Everyone have a great Friday and Easter.  I am doing my spring cleaning at home FINALLY and we are spending Saturday helping Louie & Helen replace some stuff on their living room ceiling.  Well okay Bruce is helping Louie, and Helen & I are probably supervising with a beverage in hand.  Oh and we might have to run to "town" just because!  Us two could never get bored at Hobby Lobby.  Or anywhere for that matter!

Ty Football 2010

Image
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

Image
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!
