I'm baaaaaack! I missed you all! I hope each of you had a wonderful Easter! Obviously, ours was a bit unconventional: had baskets for each kid (plus DD little girlfriend) then hit the road by 8am to SML. Ended up being a beautiful day there! Hit the grocery store up there (why is it you spend almost double the $$$ when you shop for food on vacation???). Cute house and great location on the lake!

Slept in on day 2. Headed out on the boat. Just a little chilly when we set off and then turned really cold. Very cloudy and "snowy" looking. Went to visit the resident lake carp at one of the local marinas. They were all down at the bottom but came up for some snacks. As we were leaving, it started to snow. Not much but that plus the wind made the ride a little chilly. We did have the enclosure on the boat to believe it or not, even though the front end is open, the air goes around the boat vs. into it so it wasn't too bad. Found the house we're staying at in July. Great location on the lake - spent a little more this summer for our anniversary.

Anyway, got back yesterday around lunchtime and after unloading everything and starting on the gazillion loads of laundry, I went out in the yard. I killed my new tomato plants while gone. They were in my green house so they either got too hot or too cold in there. I would love to try the Mortage Lifter tomatoes if anyone has a few seeds to spare. seeds I put down last week are looking good.

BTW - today is Murphy's 1st birthday so I went out this morning and bought him a balloon and birthday hat and he picked out a new toy at PetSmart.

Here are a few pics from the lake:

Chillin' (literally!) on the boat
