My sister Rhoda and her husband Rob visited us for the weekend. On Saturday we went to the Ft. Worth Boat Show and ordered a pontoon. No, it was not on impulse but after many months of research. We knew we would be able to look at different boats and different boat companies in one place to help us with our final decision. They were also running many sales. We should get the boat in about a week as there are many things to be done and to consider before delivery. The pictures below are like the boat we ordered which is in stock at the boat store. Bob and I seldom fish but it is something we may do in the future and many members of our family fish. The boat comes with a fish finder but Bob is going to the store this week and check out the upgraded fish finders also. We hired a contractor to come and modify our boat house so we can park the pontoon. We are looking forward to getting out on the lake for perhaps a picnic sometimes, reading a book, basking in the sun, fishing and just enjoying the ride.
The photo below is of Bob and Rob walking beside the orange palm tree.

I don't know why I was expecting something that looked more dilapidated - something that Huckleberry Finn might have floated down the Mississippi . . . but this pantoon is gorgeous!!!!! Oh, my, you are going to enjoy this so much!

Ummmmmmm, Robert with a boat. . . . why does that ring bells for me? Hmmmmmmmm. . . . think I need to do a "safety check". . . .just as a public service of course! Ummmmm. . . . how far are you from Houston, and what is the weather like in November, pontoon-wise? This looks like a blast, and you are going to be so happy to have it!
