Kate wants to know why everyone stays home on Mother's Day to be with Mom but no one, except Mom, stays home on Father's Day. The reason of course is that the weather is usually too iffy in May to fish or golf. Whoever scheduled Father's Day in late June was no dummy. Hope you're as proud of your children and enjoy them and your grandchildren half as much as Joann and I do. Enjoy the day Dads...and take Mom with you...let her drive the cart...
Hard to believe we're already making plans for the July 4th holiday. Our work on the cottage is done seeing as tomorrow is the official "first day" of Michigan's twelve weekend long summer. That's not to say there's nothing more that needs to be done, just that it's time to put the tools away. Joann talked me out of torching our "two butt" kitchen, instead settling for new countertops which we built and installed after updating the 58 year old plumbing and scraping the original cast iron sink - what a pain that was. Needed a new drain field and spread and seeded 3 yards of top soil on top of that, power washed the joint top to bottom to take the place back from the spiders, installed some carpeting, repaired what needed to be repaired, cleaned everything up and wrestled a new washer/dryer up the stairs. Enough already - we're tired, but it sure felt good being able to do these things, albiet, alot slower than in the past.
See you on the water
Ken
