Great Weekend

I had a fabulous weekend.

We went to the lake to open the house and see how it fared all winter.
With the exceptions of a few dead stink bugs all was well.

The house has a very closed up smell and we couldn't wait to open the windows and air it out.
It was good weather when we arrived.

We went from room to room and made our lists of things to be done this year.
It's been an ongoing project since we bought the place in '04.

After that we decided since we'll be building, painting, weeding, planting, mulching etc for the next 6-8 weekends we would just play this weekend.

It was great. I was lazy as lazy can be.
Even Izzy slept in until 6am. YIPEE!

Saturday morning we headed on down to the boat and got ready for our first boat ride of the season. I always wonder, "will she start?"   And of course 'she' does.
After our scenic and relaxing boat ride we all were sneezing and wheezing....Aah spring.
All that pollen blowing in your face makes an allergy person and dog quite the mess.
But all worth it!

We napped, we drank, we watched movies, we watched Izzy swim. (Brrrr.....)
Then it rained non stop. So we drank, we watched movies and we napped.
We had a routine and it was a lot better than my 8-5 routine M-F.

My Yankees whooped the Boston Red Sox asses and that just put a cherry on top of my weekend.  I love nothing more than kicking those Sox to the curb.
Saturday's game was a beautiful thing to watch.
We were down 9-zip and we came back with 15-9. 

Now Friday's game was a sweet win because they were celebrating their 100th anniversary of their ball park. All the old timers there and a sold out crowd.
We won.  Taking the wind out of their sails felt good as well.
I saw this front page and it made me giggle.
Crass you say? Why sure, but c'mon it's fun when it's not my team in the loser seat for a change.

We are looking for a new company to care for the lawn at the lake 
You know the mowing, trimming etc.
Since we are not down there every week it must get done.
Especially now that we must rent the home. The guys we have do such a lousy job.
We've been through many and honestly it's frustrating.
They work real slow down there as well as we think they may be mentally slow too.
(The stories I could tell you on that one....for another day)
As we were boating up the lake we came to an area of just woods and farm land.
You don't see much of that there. You instead see a lot of this.

But not much of this below.

After Rick saw these cows he said, "Hey it would probably be cheaper to buy the damn cows to take care of the lawn."

I reminded him we couldn't eat them later because our grass would become too high.

You see I know how my carnivore hubby thinks.

He laughed and said, "Well never mind then."
