Little House On The Lake

I LOVE the pelicans at our Little house on the lake!

There is just something about them and I captured these pictures 

which I thought were so good if I say so myself.

Aren't they just gorgeous?

Sweet Hunter says these are sea gulls!

I really don't know what they are called but I go along with him!

Smile.

Is there sea gulls on the lake?

I need to ask my friend Kathy!

They live on the lake!

Yeah, I should do that.

But if he's wrong, we won't tell him!

LOL

Oh I loved seeing these too!

SH says these are Mallards.

I  am pretty sure he's right on these.

This is a male and female.

They almost look fake!

They were pretty far away so I am tickled I got this clear of a picture!

And Here's "The man, The myth, The legend!"

Well, in his head anyways! 

Smile.

He is a pretty good guy. I sure do love him.

We can't get the boat out because the water is so low 

so we have been using the kayaks.

I fished in mine the last time but really hurt my hands and my back 

so this time I stayed in and relaxed. 

It killed me not to fish but its ok.

I was just thankful to be there.

I put this picture on facebook this morning  in 

remembrance of "My Vicki."

She would love our little place on the lake.

I sure miss her.

Yesterday, Nov. 23, 1977 was her and The Gooses anniversary.

It would have been 43 years. 

It is 43 years although she's not here.

They both love the birds and they honestly are a wealth of information 

about birds and plants and flowers.

I thought this quote described her well.

"A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, 

it sings because it has a song in its heart."

Little House On The Lake

Why do we call it "Little House" when there are 2 places?

Because Sweet Hunter named it that!

I thought it was perfect!!!!

I have probably told this before and if I have, forgive me.

But what we bought is a waterfront rec property that included a 40' Park Model 

Retreat by Keystone RV and literally a  "Little House!"

This is our little house called an RV!
It has a kitchen, living room with a dining area, a bathroom with a full shower, and 
a Master bedroom with a king size bed.
This is where we stay when we go to the lake!

This is actually a "little house!

It is a one room cottage with a full bath and a kitchenette.

This is our guest house!

It has a screened in porch and is just a doll house!

And this is our view!!!!

And of course, I have to have a bird feeder!

or 2 

or 3!

Smile!

If you know me, you know I love birds!!!

This bird house was there when we bought the place.

This little bird house was here too!

The roof needs a little repair.

But I LOVE it!

These were also there just sitting by themselves on the ground.

I was trying to keep a journal at the lake both at the camper at the campground we

used to own, or this place but I decided this is where I will do my journal from here on out.

I have to tell you that this place was a dream of mine. 

Not so much this place but a little camper on the lake.

And I truly believe Sweet Hunter bought it because he knew it was something I would love.

You see, I went through hell in 2018 and 2019 with cancer surgery and chemo.

I love him for giving me this gift.

It also has been a blessing this year, 2020 because of Covid.

I have not been able to go out in public so this has given me a 

little get away since I stay home so much.

Of course, again, if you know me at all, you know home is where my heart is and

I don't mind staying home at all.

HOME is the nicest word I know.

Many of you know this blog, Our farm, "The Little House on the Lake"

 my "Sweet Hunter"

along with our family is my heart!

Facebook is quick and easy and has its place but this is where my heart is.

I have blogged since 2007.

I had to quit the "cancer" posts for a while.

It was getting to me.

I am sure it will pop up in my post here and 

there but I just can't.......

anymore.

We  had a beautiful weekend this past weekend at the "Little House!"

It rained over 24 hours so we spent some good quality time inside.

We rested, we spent time together, we watched some t.v., put a puzzle together

and cooked! 

Imagine that right? 

Cooking?

(Smile)

We also went fishing the next day when the weather was good!

Of course, he won! 

I bet he caught 12-15 Crappie!

He was loving it.

This is the only fish I caught!

Yep!

I just knew I would win, but I didn't.

Oh well, next time!

Now you may look at me and think I feel great,

but I will tell you a little secret.

I honestly didn't feel wonderful.

Maybe I rested too much.

I don't know. But something caused my back to act up.

But I kept going. Then we got ready to go.

I knew I didn't feel good but I thought it would pass.

I actually woke up with it Sunday morning and it continued to get worse.

Today, Monday, we are home and I have not done much at all.

I have did a little laundry and warmed up some leftovers but

I felt like I needed to rest. 

*********************************** 

Today I put this quote on my facebook page and it is so true.

“Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.”
