Hello From Guntersville Lake

We are here camping on the lake in Langston, Alabama. We have had a good time just doing nothing pretty much. We got here Friday night and are leaving tomorrow to be back in time for Good News club. Saturday we slept late and did a little fishing that day but the fish weren 't really biting. That night Mike cooked steak and french fries for our Valentine's dinner, it was great and we had left over Alex's 6 month birthday cake and french vanilla ice cream for dessert. Yesterday we went to church here at the campground and then went to eat with several people from church. We came back to the camper and changed clothes and went to the Eagles Nest (rec. hall) and learned a new card/marbles games from the head pastor here and his wife that is very popular here. It was Gay the wife and me against Jim and Mike and we won four games to the men's three. We got back to the camper at 10:00 after starting to play at 3:00. We had no idea we had been sitting there that long playing because we were having so much fun. This new game we learned is called Joker and is played on a special table that you move marbles around on according to your cards you draw. This is going to be a new project for Mike to build us one of the tables where we can practice at home before we come back to the campground. We haven't done much today. It is colder and the wind is blowing so we couldn't fish because the lake was white capping almost. I did beat Mike 2 games to 1 in Skip-bo. We went and rode around Guntersville Lake State Park which is only a few miles from us. Now we are just hanging out here in the camper because it is cold outside. Well Mike wants to do something on the computer now so I will go for now. Just wanted to give everybody a update on our life of luxury. Love to everybody!
