Our water dogs have never been in the lake above their paws. We decided it was time for Chloe to have a swimming lesson. We suited her up with a life jacket for her first lesson. The jacket was a wee bit large, her front leg kept coming out while swimming so it was jettisoned. A…
After two very wet months and a total of 15 inches of rain, we’re enjoying some blue sky, sunshine, and little boat time! To everyone west of the Mississippi under drought conditions, I wish we could share. . . We don’t know what to make of all this water~ We were ready to board two-by-two. . . And our…
We all love the water. . . We’re mesmerized by it. . . Fascinated. . . Entertained. . . Relaxed by it. . . And just pretty dog gone happy to be near it! Chloe & Gracie hope you’re doing something that makes you happy this weekend! Thank you for your visit, I’m joining: Seasonal Sundays, Mosaic…
The only thing better than a boat ride and the wind blowing in our ears is when we boat with food! So we were pretty dog gone excited to head out for a dinner cruise. . . A little lighter fare than what is offered on The Catawba Queen~ But something for every dog~ And people…
We had a break in the weather with sunny skies and temperatures in the high 50′s the day of our Love Boat Cruise~ Perfect for a short boat ride. . . and to bask in the sun . . . and to enjoy some scenery~ Blatant disregard for private property and no trespassing notices :)…

Now that I have my…

A little watery reflection of sky to start the day~ The sun coming up over the horizon after a week of rain is a welcome sight to see. . . The light changes and shifts so quickly at sunrise. . . . . .that I usually don’t have time to grab my camera and capture it.…
All I want for Christmas (besides a Hatherley Lattistep :) are dogs that sleep past 4 am. . . More water in the pond. . . {Santa we need rain!} And more dish storage. . . Our lake house was built in the ’80s~ the decade for big hair, not big closets :) Our house in Charlotte,…
I’ve been admiring everyone’s elegantly appointed Christmas trees, beautifully decorated mantles, and festive stairway garlands~ Meanwhile, I’m decorating my Potting Shed and raiding my husband’s tackle box for our dock Christmas tree :) It’s a good thing he doesn’t have a fishing trip planned anytime soon :) My husband’s grandfather’s tackle box is under the…
