A day at the Lake

[cornerofmadness]

But before that, some good news. Brother measured how far I could raise my arm overhead. I got to 140 degrees with gravity helping (i.e. on my back). 180 is normal so I'm ahead of the curve.

Lucky Uncle has a lake house on hillbilly cove in Lake Berlin, OH so we went down there for a leisurely day of puttering around the lake. It was very nice. I'm a lake person. I can live without a beach but I love living on lakes. I had Lake Erie for a back yard for 4 years.

One of their neighbors moved and the house is for sale right on the water for an affordable price (though its small) I'm wondering if there is any jobs at the nearby college....

Tonight it's going down to the 40s, so cool for August but I'm not complaining.

So have a bunch of picspam.



My parents and Lucky Uncle and his wife in Hillbilly Cove (she served margaritas in red Solo cups on 'wine stems.'


We opened the canopy and found this little fellow hiding out.




This is MY cabin. This old fishing cabin has been slowly sliding into the lake for years. Several years back, I swam over to it and went poking around.



And not lake but here's grandma and some of your cards.


Here is the morning glory from a couple weeks back.



Here it is this morning. We have named her Audry 2




Here is Audry eating me.

Hahaha to Audrey II eating you.

Nice picture of Granny! She looks cute. I know, I know, looks are deceiving.

Yay, peeper.

Audry II is hungry

Grandma never takes a bad picture.

Peeper never made a peep

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I'm sure Audrey II is hungry.

That's cool.

Peeper probably afraid of getting eaten if he let out a peep.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Audry is

and the peeper might be. He climbed higher in the umbrella after his photo shoot

Mom's Audrey isn't nearly that large.

Yeah, scared little peeper.

I have that exact shirt. :)

Love those morning glories! Technically they're illegal in Phoenix (something about them choking the cotton crop), but we think there's one growing in our side yard.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

It's a great shirt.

Morning glories can be a very nasty invasive plant

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

These days the nearest cotton field to Central Phoenix is more than 50 miles, but there it is.

It's not a law that's enforced much anymore (it's also illegal to spit on the sidewalks, because Arizona started as a tuberculosis colony...).

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it's probably more likely to go wild here.

I did not know that about Az

Your grandma looks pretty damned perky for 99! That's a great picture.

Audry 2 is apparently loving the cool, wet August. :-)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

depends on the day. At her party she looked every year of 99.

Audry is loving it.

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't stand that close to that plant...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

It's a risky proposition

[makd.livejournal.com]

Glad to learn your arm is ahead of the curve. \o/

Audry 2 is gorgeous and should be fed regularly. (as in "Feed me")

Gran is lovely - and very smiley.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm glad

Oh yeah, Audry II is a hungry thing.

For the camera she does have a smile
