We hit the Lake approx 2:00 and left at about 5:30. I jsut got
home. We could have stayed longer, but eh, 4 hr.s of taking the niece's son's tubing was plenty for everybody. My niece isn't a slave to fashion but when we went tubing last time, I about flipped her over and she lost a $45.00 pair of non-prescription sunglasses. "Vanity, vanity... all is but vanity" So this time, when headed for the lake I stopped at Salem at the MotoMart and bought 4 pair of sun glasses at $2.50 each. So I asked her if she brought any sunglasses,and she said , Yes, i just picked these up yesterday" I asked her how much they were and she said $38.00. I told her to leave them in her car, and handed her a pair of "El Cheapo" she looked at me like "You're kidding?" I said,"No I'm not kidding, Wouldn't you rather lose a cheap pair than expensive ones? she like of shurugged her shoulders but put them on, and in the glare off the lake she commented that they did a better job of cutting the glare then her expensive ones. "Amaziing" I thought to myself. My niece has a rather thin face, and he had on some "aviator style" glasses,adn her son said she looked like a horsefly. after she took her turn on the tube of resolve, sure enough she didn't have the glasses in place and had them on her forehead, and off they came. She apologized about losing them and I told her not to worry abotu it, and asked if she wanted another pair. After all, I had another set. She took them, and after we had trailered the boat she asked me if they could keep them. With a grin I said "You mean you like those things?" She said "yeah, we'll keep them for next time!" So I take it I'm set up for a sequel. i like hanging around witht he girl and the lads. i wish we could have found more to do. But then again everybody was tired and she had to get back for work later on today. But everybody had eye protection snack's and juices , and just a plain good day on the water. So, another good flushing enjoyed by everybody. hope y'all had fun today too! |

Well, I suppose I could have bought $45.00 glasses for everybody jsut to repeat the same as before, but actually, they were my guests and I funded the whole project which is a lot better bang for the buck than paying $45.00 a piece to get into Six flags and stand in line for a couple hr.s just to ride some whirly-gig. |

What they were really saying is "cheapskate". :) They just didn't want to say it outright to hurt your feelings. |
