Lutis, Sagels, and Mayers anchored out in Kentucky Lake

Replica of The Pinta

Oh my goodness! It's been so long since I've blogged. Sorry. Since the last you've heard from us, so much has happened. Two weekends ago, on Friday we went to Green Turtle Bay to tour the Nina and Pinta replicas. That was a lot of fun. You can find out about them by going to TheNina.com. Be sure to use the word "The" or you get a porn site. The crew told us stories about how the poop deck got its name and why women tell their children or husbands "No elbows on the table".

That Saturday John and Norm went to Paducah to pick up a rental car for our friends Ed and Kyle. In the meantime, Sue and I went to a fabulous craft show in Grand Rivers. We bought a couple of things, but I got many ideas for future gifts to make.

Sunday was spent getting ready for our company. On Monday, Mike and Linda, and Ed and Kyle arrived by boat from Lighthouse Point in Aurora, Indiana. We visited awhile, went out to dinner and then Ed and Kyle had to drive back to Cincinnati to work all week.

Tuesday brought Charlie and Joan to Kentucky Dam State Park . Wednesday we anchored out and had a wonderful grilled salmon dinner. Charlie and Joan stayed until almost dark and then took their jet boat and went back to the lodge. Thursday brought Dave and Donna. On Friday night, Ed and Kyle were back and all twelve of us went to Patty's for dinner.

Saturday, Charlie and Joan had to leave. Boo hoo. We already miss them. We were so happy to spend some time with them. The rest of us went to Green Turtle Bay for a boat show. We looked at boats until lunch time. Then, we had lunch at Miss Scarlett's. Then we all played miniature golf and then we drove little race cars around a track. It was a lot of fun. Mike won the race and got to do a lap around the track holding the checkered flag. We grilled out on the back of our boat and ate dinner out on the picnic tables. It was a fun! fun! day.

Sunday brought another departure when Dave and Donna left after breakfast. We hope they had as much fun as we did while they were here.
The rest of us anchored out last night. It was perfect. We swam in the lake, grilled chicken for dinner and hit the hay pretty early. There's something about being out in the air all day that just makes you so tired.

Today we came back to Kentucky Dam Marina from our anchorage in Dunkin Bay. It's sad to think that tomorrow all of the rest of our company will be leaving to go home. It's been so much fun being with everybody. We were sorry that Dean and Debbie couldn't make it, but we are grateful for the ones who did.

On Wednesday we'll be driving home for a few days to see our family one more time before we take off for Alabama at the end of the month. The time surely goes by in a hurry. September 30th is one whole year since we retired. It doesn't seem like it at all.
