Farewell to Our Multigenerational Friend, the Surfer

Yesterday, we all had dinner together and said our farewells to the Johnson Surfer, the boat that 3 generations learned to ski and wakeboard on. A nice family from Mariposa will use this boat and create memories for their children with it. This was the Cadillac of boats when Mom and Dad bought it in 1967 and we've had so many great vacations with it (Trinity Lake, Lake Mead, Lake Powell, Kentucky Lake, Lake Nippissing, and Lake Erie to name a few). Our families are closer because of it.
Also, Jeannie flew in with some of her friends from the Coast Guard Academy and they joined us for dinner. And in the final picture, Tony is imitating Flat Stanley.

I hate to say it because of the grief I will get, but I actually do miss Toni and BJ a lot.

Yeah, me too! I miss those two cats like a hole in the head. Too bad they can't come to cabin with us... boohoo!
