I can't believe it has been a week since I have blogged. The first part of the last week was just working around the yard and house. Jack had a dental appointment and we had an appointment with our financial adviser, heard all the great news, ha ha, for the year!!
On Thursday, we left for our son's condo at the Lake of the Ozarks. Jack, Virgene (my sister), and I drove down to the Lake. It is about 150 miles south of Kansas City. Jack is always ready to go there so he can fish. Since we didn't see much water in Arizona, he was more than ready this time. The weather forecast was a mixture of sun and rain showers.
We got down to the Lake around 1:00 p.m. The sun was out and it was around 70. Great weather. We got things unloaded and Jack was out to fish. Our son has added a new dock so he another place to catch the big one!! My sister and I went over to the outlets to check the bargains. Ran by the grocery store and got some supplies.
Here is a picture of Jack trying to find the big one? (sorry about the color had the camera on the wrong setting and didn't realize until we got back)
Friday was a nice day also. We had sun and warm weather most of the day. Jack was out fishing early, middle and late day. But after all his fishing most of the catches were not real big but at least he was fishing and catching something. He just catches and releases his fish. He fishes mainly for large mouth bass. Us girls did a little more shopping and then just sat out on the deck and enjoyed the sun. Late in the day we had a shower but didn't it last but a hour or so.
On Saturday, we drove in Lebanon, MO to visit Jack's sister-in-law; my brother and his wife; and my niece and her family. It was good to see all the relatives and catch up on the news with all of them. Got back to the condo around 6:30 p.m. My niece's husband is a computer whiz and he updated one of our computers while we were there. Thanks Jared!!
The Ozarks are known for their blooming dogwood trees at this time of the year. Matter of fact their is a small town by the Lake that actually has a Dogwood Festival to celebrate the blooming of them. Here is a couple pictures of the dogwoods:
Sunday morning we woke up to a much cooler temperature. It was in the high 40s and cloudy. But we were going to drive back so it wasn't too bad. We got back to KC around 6:00 p.m. Over all had a good trip.

Oh, the Dogwoods are beautiful!!
It's really good to hear from you! So happy that Jack has finally got his hook in the water.
The pictures were gorgeous! Does Jack ever keep a fish if it is the "big one"? Glad to know you guys are enjoying your retirement. We are too.
