Sarah and her boyfriend came over and took one of my paddle boards out to the beach. They sun bathed, swam and used the board. They said the water was still cold. There was a lot of people out on and around the lake today, everyone swimming. Of course they were all young kids. Bijou and I sat on the deck and enjoyed watching everyone. It was a little hot for him, he was panting a lot. Going to find something to eat and go to bed early.&nbsp;</FONT></P> Wed, 14 May 2025 22:46:39 GMT hullie 2025-05-14T22:46:39Z
