We both retired in May of 2006. For the first 6 years we were avid RV'ers and addicted to the game of Pickleball. In September of 2013 we sold the RV and bought a house on the canal to Lake June in Lake Placid, FL where we continue to meet new people and make new friends. Fishing is our favorite past-time now. THANK YOU to our families and friends, old and new, for making our retirement the best chapter in our life so far.

Screens for the lanai
First..............a visitor on the back slider! This has to be one of the largest grasshoppers I've ever seen!
He spent a good amount of time on the window.... have not seen him since!
We have been putting off getting blinds for the back lanai, ever since we had someone come and measure and then try to install...............and we sent them back! Whoever built the attached screened lanai did one really bad job. There are NO square corners - and nothing is a "normal" size. So about a week and a half ago, I got on Blinds.com.... After Rich talked with them for a couple of minutes to make sure he understood how they would be cut............he did his measurements and we ordered to blinds..
Before they arrived he bought and installed a couple one inch pieces of the white frame on each side, and lowered the horizontal one at the top. He installed the blinds on Friday........... I am very very pleased with the way they look. Given the frame that he had to work with - I think he did an awesome job!
What I like is that they do a great job keeping the sun out.....and you can still see out them.
The last couple of days I've been doing some research on lakefront cabins in both Wisconsin and Minnesota............. We are considering an extended stay there next summer, as it is closer to Dennis and the kids. We still have a two or three options at Black Lake too.............But it WOULD be a nice change..........
