Summer Fever

The warm sunshine we enjoyed this past weekend was a first reminder that it will soon be time to play on the Lake.  LAKE KEOWEE!! That name brings to mind such fun!  I need to get my “honey-do” list done NOW!
 
First, and probably most importantly, the boat and sea doos need to be checked out and made water ready.  I am NOT qualified for this chore, so it’s time to schedule the marine shop to come and get it!
Second, the exterior of my home and the yard have been sorely ignored over the bitterly cold days of winter, so it’s time to clean the gutters, freshen up the paint, and get the yard into some resemblance of order.  It has been easy to ignore errant limbs and leaves from the inside of the house, but the lawnmower is not made for mulching.
Which brings up item Three:  lawnmower serviced.  I suppose I could buy a new one, but it has been a personal challenge for four years to keep this one going for one more season.  Another phone call.
Fourth.  This one is a YIKES!!!!!!  Swimsuit.  I told you, YIKES!!!!!!!!   I have always done a good job with daily exercise, but somewhere along the way, my caloric intake has overtaken my outgo.  Time to adjust.  If I start now, I can be ready by summer.
 
Summer on Lake Keowee.  I have really never lived anywhere else, but I am certain there can be nowhere better!
 
OK.  Where’s the phone?  Time to get started!
