4th of July!

At the lake, on the Pontoon boat. The hubby, grandkid and myself. Anchored in the middle of the lake…doing a little fishing…waiting for the fireworks to start. The hubby and kid are in the back fishing off either side, I am out on the front deck sitting in a lawn chair with a hooded sweatshirt on and a Spongebob-Squarepants fleece blanket wrapped around my legs…fishing pole in hand.
The hubby says "is it dark enough to pee off the back?" I said "give it a try". So he proceeded and smarty-pants me leans over in my chair to peer down the side of the boat to get a “wiener peek“. Yep...me…the chair...the pole...all over the side! Crap! I watched my lawn chair slowly sink, then my pole! I managed to save the blanket and my flip flops...even got myself back on the boat...that wasn't easy with all those heavy clothes on, and my hubby standing above me...”now, was that worth it?!” “Well, yes…yes it was!!!“

I was so upset about loosing my pole but when we pulled up anchor my line was hooked on it and we were able to retrieve the pole!! And…you know how you don't think kids are paying attention? I was telling someone about my escapade without the "intimate details" and the grandkid pipes up and says..."now tell em what you were lookin at". Brat!

Oh, I changed my clothes…thank goodness I keep extras on the boat!…and we stayed and watched the fireworks. They were beautiful!! What a wonderful way to spend the 4th of July!!!
One more thing! When we got home...I dried the cell phone out that was in the sweatshirt pocket...it works good! Never give up on those cell phones!!!
