Sailing Weekend


I took our 18 ft. sailboat and a friend to Lake Bryan Friday afternoon where we met up with a number of boats from the sailing club. Lake Bryan is a small lake, but we had plenty of wind and got in about 3 hours of really good sailing. Here I am putting the boat back on the trailer getting ready to go home.
On Saturday, Ellen and I went to Lake Somerville where we keep the 22 ft. sailboat. We did some cleaning and then motored out into the lake, dropped anchor and swam for a while to cool off. We got into the boat and enjoyed a cold coke, hoisted sail and took off down the lake. We had a really great sail. Very pleasant out on the lake when the sun started getting low. Came in about 8:30 and put the boat away and headed home.

Graduation Friday night


Well he made it! Michael walked across the stage Friday night and finished his high school years. It took a little over 2 hours for the speechs and for 620 kids to walk across. All in all, it went smoothly. We all went home, Michale changed clothes and went back to the school to catch the bus for the all night party at Dave & Busters. Ellen and I tried to catch a nap before reporting to D&B at 2:00 AM. We dealt Black Jack until 4:30 AM. Got home around 5:15 and managed to sleep until 10.

Going to revive this.

I am trying to get into a routine of posting to this blog. We will see how it goes.
