THE BOAT JONES

Summer is finally upon us. It is that time of year again. Time to get our boat dewinterized. In fact, I need to make an appintment for this week. My husband said that, thursday would be best, since it's his day off. It's actually been unusually warm here, for the past week. If, it hadn't been a holiday last weekend, we would have already hit the lake. I don't forsee us going this weekend though. The temperatures for the next week or so, is going to be much cooler. Perhaps we will go the following week. Never-the-less, I do this every year.

I can't seem to wait to get out there. However, in a month or so, I'll be sick of cleaning the boat. Including, all that goes with it. Like buying "lake food" and getting ready. It's like getting ready for a mini vacation every weekend. There's making sure that, there is enough food, having all of the chairs, and making sure that all of the swim gear is in tow. If... we temporarily lose our minds, and decide to take all three dogs. Well, that's another story. I don't actually see that happening.

Our Bulldog can't swim. Our puppy, would have to be watched like a hawk. Lastly, the older puppy would be like taking Marmaduke. Three kids, and three dogs, would be entirely too much to handle. Although, we did take Marmaduke and his brother, last summer when they were puppys. Not this year though. This year, they weigh 80 pounds, instead of 20. In retrospect, we will have another fun summer. Ya'll have fun too.
