| The Birthday Men! |
I can honestly say I am extremely grateful for air conditioning! This has been an extremely, fast paced, hot month! Let’s see…first of all aside from celebrating the birth of our wonderful country (despite our challenges as of late) on the 4th of July, we celebrated my husband’s entrance into a new decade! Yep, his 50th birthday! Now some people see that as old, but as I always say, we don’t have a clue what old is; Methuselah was old! Old is a state of mind and I can tell you my honey is young at heart…he definitely is NOT old! He got some great gifts, cards and heartfelt letters from several people that meant so much to him (ya’ll rock!)! So we went to the Lake Wateree to one of our favorite spots to celebrate with friends. We had a great time laughing, eating, splashing in the lake, playing games and just hanging out with great friends. One of our friends came up from Florida, and we even had a few friends and family come up just for the afternoon Saturday to celebrate with cake and gifts for my hubby! Our friend that came up from Florida had celebrated a birthday the week before so I had bought each of them their very own inch thick ribeye to celebrate…yummo!

| Our Fearless Pontoon Captain! |
One of our friends has a boat and is always kind enough to let everyone enjoy a ride or two out on the lake. He wasn’t able to make it up until later in the afternoon Saturday, so a few of us had a hankering to go out earlier and we rented a pontoon boat for about 2 hours and had a blast! It didn’t quite start out that way though. First of all we had a little rough time getting it in reverse to get going. No fault of our Captain, but somehow we had gotten far enough away from the dock, but not able to turn the boat and go forward in the direction we needed to go. Now mind you it is, oh I don’t know…probably about 100+ degrees at noon, and there are about 8 or 9 of us (and 2 dogs) just sitting in the bright sun, not moving…it wasn’t too funny. Thank goodness one of the fellas that works there came over and helped us get going, apparently the button on the shifter was sticking! So we zoomed off towards the middle of the lake and stopped to jump in and swim…the water was wonderful! We were sorry to head back to the dock and even sorrier when we had the same trouble again with the boat getting going! Slowly we were drifting towards the shore, which got closer and closer very quickly! Finally, it worked and off we went! The next day we went out on our friends boat and had a good time speeding all over the lake, without incident! It was a very relaxing and fun retreat and we all look forward to the next get together! Thanks friends for such a great weekend!
