The ceiling does look nice. And that snow had better be gone real soon. I don't won't to lose my tan that I've been working on for the trip.

I trust you'll get that new window stained to match the color of the other one exactly. I was so hoping to see the pocket French Doors to the bedroom. Guess I'll have to wait until Spring.

Haven't seen anyone in the Schmidt family up close and personal in awhile. So am a little diappointed that there are no pics. But will continue to check site often in hopes of seeing some. Glad you all had a good time. It does sound as tho Joe should slow the boat down a tinsy bit. Love & God Bless from our house to yours.

I can't believe the basement is done already. You've had plenty of time and now that you've picked out the flooring I suggest you get moving. I agree you need a big boat a real big boat so I can go Parasailing on waterskis. It was something I always wanted to do.

Comment on Some History

Hey Joe,
don't know if you remember my family, but we built a house a few down from your parents on the lake. My father is Chuck Serwin. Thanks for the blog.
I've been mighty nostalgic for Upper Kaubashine... I regret we sold our place in 1989. A shame. I'm sorry for your loss; I remember your parents very well.
I have a question about these photos from the 1950s: are they taken at the Berends? I have so many wonderful childhood memories of Grandma and Grandpa Berend, as I called them. They used to feed me molasses cookies and tell me stories about the lake, about flying squirrels and Indians that lived on the lake in the early part of the 20th c. Is that abandoned railroad car still sitting adjacent to their old place, alongside the deer path?
It was sad when they sold it off to the Doyles/Lairds. Hard to believe that your governor was a former neighbor. My sister and I are around Gus and Gabe Doyle's ages, and we used to swim with them at their place, but I never liked it much, because the lakebed was mucky from years of fallen leaves. It must have had to do with the washout you describe, the one that basically created their cove. Who owns that property now?
If you get a chance, shoot me an e-mail.
Take care,
Stephen Serwin

Comment on Back to work

LJW — Tue, 01 May 2007 19:19:24 GMT

I trust this plumbing situation is COMPLETELY fixed otherwise let me know if I have to order a Port-O-Let though we can go back to the old days of doing our business. Watch out for rattlesnakes though. With enough Maker's Mark that Bathroom will be done in 2 days. Pennington would be proud, especially when I add my special touches in the middle of the night.

Comment on Merry Christmas

Either you need a new job or I can give the names of several Therapists. The last I heard was the Bass was in Mexico, Tijuana to be exact proudly being displayed in one of the numerous trinket shops. When you're out looking in all those shops watch out for the gangs protecting the bass. They are ruthless.

Comment on A GIS view of the property

No wonder you wanted a john deere tractor! I am assuming that the light blue are houses, and according to the map, you can build several houses?
