Moving Forward

Front Facing the Lake

Plans continue for renovating The Lakehouse. We just need the bank to give us the money! We cannot seem to quench their thirst for personal, financial data. We keep waiting for a banker to show up with a phlebotomist. They better approve our loan soon because a dumpster is being dropped off next week.

Sunday is our twelfth wedding anniversary. We've decided to do an afternoon movie, Elysium, and have a very nice Italian meal at Roberto's in Bristol, RI. We have been wanting to eat there for years, but they are never open when we meander across the bridge. This time we have a reservation. It will be a lovely day, then on Monday, Larry will head south for three weeks. This will be the longest we've ever been apart!

Our eighteen-year-old friend, Darren, insists he wants to go with Larry and help him clean out our garage at the lake to get ready for the build. We have to make room in there to empty the house. So, the two of them will leave early Monday morning and drive down in one fell swoop. They should make it to the lake by midnight. Darren will fly out of Columbia the following Saturday to get ready for the start of his freshman year of junior college. It'll be a big help to Larry and a "last hurrah" for Darren before school starts. He's been working hard all summer, so this little vacation will be well deserved.

Entry

 

The pups and I will remain in Tiverton, lonely for our man, but we'll head back to the lake in October to start packing up the house. Things are beginning to move forward with this project at last.

Here is Larry's design: for the new and improved lake house.
