The Lake house


So we bought a lake house in East Texas on Lake Winnsboro. It's a little lake about the size of Lake Worth, one of those bass fishing lakes near Lake Fork. The house is cute it has four bedrooms and 1 and a half baths. It's a beautiful drive, about 2 hours from Burleson. The house came fully furnished with more than a house needs, plenty of dirt dobbers and one flea infested dog! LOL Needs some work! We went out there for the first time to actually spend some time. Weston and I were in the house cleaning out the endless junk drawers in the kitchen from 40 years of stuffing things in them. Chris was outside doing some work. We will be building a dock in the next week or so, but the neighbor, Bob, has one already and said we could use it. So Dad (Mike) took Brazos and Rawley down to the dock to fish. Next thing I know Brazos busts through the door saying "The dog fell, the dog fell" they were so worried about that stupid dog falling in the water when came to look at the place the first time, I said "Brazos who cares the dog can swim" He then says "No Mommy the dock fell Papaw and Rawley are in the water and I got stung by bees" I didn't know and out of shape Mom could run so fast! I took off out the door, but they were already walking back with Chris. Talk about a first time experience to the new lake house. Rawley and Dad were soaking wet and Rawley and Brazos were screaming because they both got stung by wasps twice on their legs. Turns out when they were walking down the dock it sturred up a wasp nest and when they stung them the boys started running and the old dock wasn't used to that so it fell. For the rest of the day Rawley said he didn't like the lake house and wanted to sell it! After all was said and done I was just thankful that Dad and Rawley fell and not our 75 years old neighbor Bob who lives out there by himself. We were only there for one day, can you imagine what will happen when we spend the weekend?
