the greatest thing about the family boat is that it's sitting at the dock, ready to go whenever you want (except for having to wash the mayflies off in the summer!)
so when andrea and i are home visiting, if the lake's not
frozen, we try to spend a little time on the boat.

andrea takes to running the boat with no problem!
one of the places i feel most 'at home.'
on the way to eat dinner at the Village Pump on Kelley'sIsland. they have the best perch on lake erie, next to my
mom!
we normally dock at the casino. it's not really a casino...come to think about it, i've been docking there for fifteen
years and have no idea why it's called the casino.
the pump.
the way home.
back home before the sun set.

Brooke, the boat is always just sitting at the dock ready for you to use it because the three of us here are always pulling it out, putting it in, storing it for winter, scrubbing and waxing and worrying about it in storms....loosening lines, tightening lines, snapping lines. We hardly ever use it; all we have time to do is to take care of it! The boat loves it when you come home because you set it free! Nobody runs a boat like you do!
The Casino is called a casino because that's what it used to be. When I was a kid, it was full of slots. It is probably keeping the name because if gambling ever comes back to Ohio, it will be the oldest "Casino" on the lake! :)
I'll try to catch some perch this winter ice fishing so next summer you can have a Mom's Perch Basket! But fishing was so lousy this year, this summer even I will have to eat my perch at The Pump.
