LAKE FUN....

We absolutely LOVE going to the lake
with Stacy and her family....


A few weekends ago, we headed there to help them do some
repairs on their beautiful lake house.



The first morning there, DEEDS made 
pancakes and bacon for our breakfast.



 Isn't she adorable, turning those pancakes....
best pancakes I've ever put in my mouth..! !


perfect little cakes...



The best coffee bar...
everything you could need for an awesome cup of coffee by the lake...
ummmmm
The men sure enjoyed pancakes, bacon and scrambled eggs...
Wilson sure hoped somebody dropped some of that bacon.


They have just replaced their large deck and it looks so nice...
very proud of it for them.


The guys getting the smoker going for a Tenderloin...
we had pulled pork sandwiches that night and they were over the moon delicious.
...by the lake


One night, salmon steaks cooked on cedar planks...
They bought the fish at the market in town..
and since I don't "do" fish...
I had more pork...


....enjoying the new deck

...water diamonds


Driftwood...beautiful


WILSON, the family doggie is about the same color of the driftwood...
I nearly didn't see him...

ahhh...there he is with his bright red collar .....
he loves going to the lake, too, and really likes riding in the boat.
Which we didn't do this time....ride in the boat, I mean...
still a little chilly for boat rides.
He has the cutest little dog life jacket...


Jent and Stacy building new steps....

They also built shutters for the windows and we helped them with the painting...
no photos to PROVE that I was working, tho......bummer
(you will notice, tho, that I nearly ALways get photos of the FOOD)


...we always have so much fun, we hate to go home...

Love, bj

  1. It is nice when you can turn a work day into a fun day. They have a gorgeous lake house. You and family have been blessed in many ways. I am little "different", but the one thing that caught my eye was the shadow where they were building the steps.

  17. What a wonderful place they have and I can imagine how much you must love to visit there! Nothing beats pancakes and bacon for breakfast...I don't care who you are! I can relate to no wanting to leave...we are heading to TN to our son's rustic mountain home to watch the grands..leaving tomorrow night. I never want to leave that place either :)

  20. Such a wonderful place BJ. Deeds is growing up, that sweet pretty girl. No one ever sees us working , do they. Once when I lived in town,I dug 5 post holes and painted the lattice around the trash container..Ted dug one post hole and when we went to dinner, everyone in town saw him dig that one post hole and asked if he could ever get me to do anything.LOL Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  22. I just had to come over and visit your blog, after you visited mine. Congratulations on over 55 years of marriage! Mr. Cottage and I have been married over 47 years. Our red painted cottage is on a lake, but living in Michigan, so we only use it primarily in the summer. I'm thinking you're from TX (just a guess). Our oldest son and his family live in TX and we'll be driving down in about two weeks to visit them and spend Easter there. So glad to have met you through Cozy Little House.

  25. Any day shared with family is a good one BJ!
    As both our children live overseas - one in France and the other in Australia when we get together it's special no matter whether we're doing jobs or just chilling out!
    Hugs

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
