Sunset on Lake Marion

Sunset on Lake Marion

I've come up with the most brilliant idea for a retirement home for men. It should be designed with a long porch overlooking a boat landing. Is there anything men enjoy more than critiquing other boaters launching their boats? They could do a little fishing themselves in between show times. It would be perfect. I should build it myself.

  1. ...critiquing other boaters launching their boats?

    Ain't that the truth! Was hanging out with a buddy up here at Lake Murray next a public boat landing. During the time I was there I saw a couple of boaters were having a difficult time getting their boats back on their trailers and everyone was giving them the devil.

  2. Hahah! It is so true. Any man who has ever had a boat loves judging other boaters on their technique. This would be the most successful retirement home ever and we would always serve fresh fish for dinner.

  3. Build it and they will come. That's a great idea! They could even make a movie about it...."Lake of Dreams". Maybe even get Kevin Costner to do a cameo.

    Huh? Oh...wait....

  4. Lowandslow - if we offered boat storage all the sons would come to visit every weekend. Lake of Dreams. I like it!

  8. I was going to suggest waitresses in miniskirts to bring the cocktails out to the front porch...

    P.S. Come visit my place - I got a facelift! *wink*

    You know it, Joan.... That's as bad as male drivers judging other drivers in cars! (I know I'm a culprit)

    They can watch the marriages implode at the landing while sipping their beer. (God forbid I ever have to back a trailer again!)

  15. If it is up by our lakes - Marion & Moultrie we will be guaranteed the best peach pies and cat fish. That will be out signature dinner.
