The Weekend

wChris_2

Number one son came calling on the Little Red Cottage this weekend and brought Uncle Benny along with him.  Uncle Benny (a.k.a. Ben Buddy) is B's brother.  He is also the adopted member of my side of our Pennsylvania family.  Why I'm not sure, but everyone seems to love the guy.  (Okay Ben, I admit it, I love ya too.)

A visit from Chris means there is fishing on the agenda, and lots of it.  This weekend was no exception.  The pan fish were biting and I am eagerly anticipating frying up a skillet full of the tasty critters.

On Sunday afternoon the rest of the clan arrived for an afternoon of boating and relaxing on the lake.   The afternoon thunderstorm that popped up did little to dampen neither spirits nor appetites.

The Kid had a little project for the boys while they were here.  The mild winter and dry spring have left the water at the end of our dock at a lower than normal level.  In order to prevent the motor from dragging  in the shallow water the dock needed to be relocated about 6 feet.  The crew gathered round and on the count of three gave it the old heave ho.

It's nice to have a little testosterone around the house.
