Dreaming Big













When Bob and I were first married our good friend Sy had a boat. We spent the summer on the reservoir with all our college buddies tubing, skiing and swimming. Oh, those were good times! Then we went to Redfish lake and crashed the Buck family reunion. We spent a weekend on the lake having an absolute blast on their boats and wave runners. After that..... We were hooked. We realized what a fun activity boating was for the whole family. I mean, everyone can do it, and who doesn't like basking in the sun and playing in the water on a hot summer day?
So, we saved our hard earned pennies we both earned waiting tables and bought us a boat of our own. Oh, what a shame it is that I don't have a pic. of our PONY. That 1970's, red neck, loud, smoking, metallic blue, boat ROCKED! We had some crazy fun times on that boat. Unfortunately it started to cost more fixing it than it did to buy it, so about 5 years ago, we sadly sold it.
Since then, Robert dreams of owning another boat. He looks and looks, searches and researches, and wants and wants, oh, how he wants. But, his taste in boats has changed. If it was a matter of purchasing another PONY, we might just be able to go out today and get it! So, I made him a deal.......if he saves half the money, he can buy a boat. Ya, we haven't purchased one yet, and I don't know if we ever will. Lucky for us, our family and close friends own boats and invite us to come along. But, looking back at these pics. makes me WANT.......WANT......and WANT some more!
So, this is my humble plea....................
IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE WANTING TO GET RID OF THEIR BOAT.....WE'LL TAKE IT FOR FREE!
ANY TAKERS.... OR GIVERS I SHOULD ASK?

Ya, I didn't think so...................
