Even though I have heard some of the tales before, I love coming to your blog and hearing/reading them all over again. You need to print them for Leyland and Corey to read later!!!djhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867788248264395148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7841079128891728043.post-53529656628263170262008-08-05T12:32:00.000-04:002008-08-05T12:32:00.000-04:00That was fun!

Joyce and Gene - adults and Pinnocle (sp?)and making the exact right amount of toast and bacon strips and eggs. Apple jelly. Pulling the boat in and locking it to the center pole for security! The little bathroom under the steps? Am I imagining all this?<BR/><BR/>I'll never forget the night Big Jim wet the bed, ON ME! He was so embarrassed, as well he should be!<BR/><BR/>No matter how bad my marriage was, my memories at the lake are some of the best parts.<BR/><BR/>ThanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07069308963949793714noreply@blogger.com
