Hanging in there!

We're spending a few days at the lake. We've been productive! The pontoon is out of the lake and on its trailer. Gilead is a spring fed lake, and it is at a low level along the shoreline, so I was worried about the pontoon being stuck in the muck! The water is 50 feet deep after the drop off. So glad that we bought the pontoon in March and had some nice outings on it before Ron's last bout of pneumonia. No regrets.
We are going to Ron's 50th high school graduation reunion this weekend. He was 17 when he graduated; I was there! Literally a lifetime ago.
Ron is struggling with accepting needing oxygen 24-7. Of all the things he has been through, this has definitely bothered him the most. It also made him sad to see the pontoon taken out, and the big oak tree that had the grandkids'swing --in front of the cottage was cut down by the new owners. On an up note, our deck was restained this week, and it looks great. There is a boardwalk across the front and sides of our house, and that is going to be my fall project. It needs some repairs and staining.
Enjoy the remainder of your summer activities!
