Wow, where does the time go? I will try to get everyone caught up. Yes, we had a great 4th of July...17 of us. It was fun and also busy. We boated, grilled, went to see fireworks, skied, tubed and generally had fun. We will always remember the 4th of July here on Pelican.

To fill you in...we listed our lake home the week after the 4th. The business really needs a boost and we have to do whatever we have to, to get through this sag in the economy. We are all sad, but life does change...and who knows what lies ahead? Life does change and no one really likes it but we have to be pro-active and try to survive this economy.

They morning of Monday after the 4th this house was shown....boy did we scramble to get it in shape after 17 people inhabited it for 4 days. The brothers were awesome and kids too....we did it and got out of there by 0730 on Monday.....clean and ready.!
