Sand. It gets everywhere.
That’s what happens when you go spend a few days at the lake. I guess I should say, The Lake, even if you don’t know which lake it is, we always say, The Lake.
Now, this lake house of our dear friends, Mark and Cher, is so great. It has the original “old” side that was built years ago. And the “new” side that is a three story rockin’ fun place for the whole family. Here on the old side is this…
I couldn’t find the remote because, oh yeah, THERE’S NOT ONE
Anyone know what this is?
But, on the new side, there is a new TV and GUITAR HERO!! At one point, the dads took the kids swimming and Cher and I played this for, I dunno, like an hour and a half. Now, I have to say, I love this house. I came here as a kid with Cher and on the Old Side, nothing, and I mean, nothing has changed. Here are some sweet decorations that (I hope) are only found at The Lake.
It’s 3-D. No really, it is. Never mind the wall paper, LOOK AT THAT THING!
Dried flowers for a clock. I bet it smells just like Hobby Lobby in there.
This is hand stitched. Peacocks. At The Lake. Go figure.
That one in France? It’s a fake.
AND NOW FOR MY FAAAAVORITE…….
Oh yeah baby. Those are red flowers….er orange flowers that are touchable.
It brings the art to life.
Back to the lake.
This is Goose. I didn’t get one good shot of Boog. She was there, I promise.
Now, this was doctored up by Mark. He’s a pro at the Adobe picture what-not stuff. I mean, a PRO.
Dude, that is precious!
Quick story on Pastor JT. He was enjoying a sweet swim with the girls when all of the sudden a little fish thought that the mole on his lower back looked pretty deeelicous. He took a snip. Pastor JT sorta jumped and said, “Uh, a fish just tried to eat my mole.”
.
Soon, he was playing with the girls again, when all of the sudden, that sucker swam back up and took another bite. But, this time he really got hold of it and shook it a bit like he was trying to rip it off! Pastor JT really yelled that time. I got a good look at it and, sure enough, there were fish marks. You could see where those little lips got hold! It was ha-larious!
.
No stories on me. Sorry. Except for that I have some serious skillz on Guitar Hero now. Sho do!
Never mind the fact that I can hardly keep my eyes open. And I just watched the guys win the 4 man swim. Not sure the real name of that race, but they just smoked the competition. Feels good. I almost feel like I won that medal I’m so proud. Well, sorta. Okay, not at all, but I’m still proud.

Looks like fun! We always call our lake “The Lake” here too. And I love the old side/new side on the lake house. How very neat that is … thanks for sharing all those outrageous decorations! Takes me back …
My fave is the 3D mushroom wall hanging thingy (not sure what to call it!). Oh, and the Mona Lisa (how’d that get in there??).
What a great post!
Okay, I spit my coffee out here: “Uh, a fish just tried to eat my mole.”
We went to the lake this weekend too, and we always find it to be a refreshing time for our family, minus the mole feast. lol.
What about those cool decs? haha
Thanks for sharing your pics…love them as always.
Same thing happened with Dirk at Lake Arcadia….only it wasn’t a mole….it was his front “moles”…you know, where there’s two of them? He won’t go back there for anything! =)
So… that’s where those fab decorations ended up after they were annexed from my great grandma’s house…
Robin – HA HA HA. That was funny.
doesn’t he need some kind of shot now, after having his mole accosted like that???
Looks like fun! We love going to the lake.
That mushroom ‘thing’ IS hanging in my kitchen…j/k but the old hippie in me loves it.
Great pics, thanks for sharing.
Robin, TOO FUNNY!!
Love the Lake!! Looked like great fun.
The Mushroom thing took me back to my mom’s cannisters in the 70s.
Poor Paster JT.
Is Mandy right? Does he need a shot??
Oh thank you for your concern about JT’s mole. No shots needed. Just a fishing pole to catch that sucker.
Robin…HA!
This might sound weird… but if you watch the guitar hero screen long enough, without blinking, and then look up to the wall behind the TV, it looks like the whole wall is swirling around (psychedelic, baby).
Don’t ask how I know this.
Ah, guitar hero … tried that once. From that moment on, my son didn’ have to think about whether I was a dork. He was sure.
Oh wow, I think I would be D-O-N-E as soon as a fish bit me. Ew.
I’m surprised there weren’t some owl decorations mixed in with those mushrooms. And maybe a little macrame.
I am soooo glad to know that I’m not the only one that fish find snack-worthy. Swimming in the lake really freaks me out now.
Oh, and my grandparents have that same VCR! Too funny! I swear the thing creaks when we use it.
Proof that the 70s were truly the ugliest decade in the history of America.
Hysterical. I swear I recognize a few of those objects d’art from my childhood.
Oh my Natalie, you’re too much! I Just stumbled into you blog…it’s a ‘keeper’.
Oh the laughter and tears! I gotta get in bed, but I’ll be back.
In the meantime, tell your fella to watch his back!
