Just like downtown

Later on Saturday night, our favorite local band, "Almost Famous" headlined the Caddy Shack. Our friend Chris Torok, invited Anna to sing "I love rock-n-roll".

Rock on!

KI's Got Talent

Anna performed in the annual "KI’s Got Talent" contest on Saturday, July 13th at Memorial Park.

July 4th week

I took vacation time for the whole week of July 4th. I love spending that time on the island with family and friends. Here are a few photos highlighting that week. 

East Quarry - just beautiful!

Early summer

Wrapping up Memorial Day weekend, lil Neil got invited to go walleye fishing with Joel on the Nachofish charter. I tagged along too. Neil was later hired to be the First Mate for the rest of the season.

Later in the summer, we stopped at Dockers for some mid-day libations.

Landscape lights dialed in

Landscaping 101

In May, we contracted TNT Horticultural Professionals, from Port Clinton, to grade the property, install the lawn, landscaping, flagstone walkways and exterior lights.
