Priscilla giving Jerry a kiss as he stacks wood at the woodpile. There is a pile of old furniture and belongings stacked behind them. After generations of no trash service and the dump being 20 minutes away, we accumulated a lot. The only thing the rental agent told us to do was to clear the house out. I still regret some of my choices, but it had to be done if we wanted to rent the place. - DSC02840

From the Deck: View from grinder pump to boathouse. The grinder pump was put in during my mother Kathy's lifetime. She and old man Ed Boykin opposed it. Before the grinder pump we had septic tanks in the bald spot on the hill below the deck. One collapsed after her death and we had to have the area filled-in. Other homes dumped sewage directly into the lake. That's why it was overgrown with seaweed in the shallows by the time I was a child. The grinder pump moved waste up the hill to a sewage pipe on Tonahutu road and disposed of it away from the lake. Ed was an engineer and vowed it wouldn't work and mom was concerned that it would mar her view. But, she'd been telling me how crystal clear the water was when she was a child and I didn't see why they were putting up such a fuss. In the end, the pump worked great and the water cleared as predicted. Hooray! - DSC02848
From the Deck: View of Grinder Pump. The pump was dug up and relocated several times as Ed and Kathy fought over where it would be located. At one point Ed convinced them to put it directly on the property line. Because this was before set-backs were instituted, our cabin and path went directly up to the line. This meant that the Mexican laborers hired to do this hard work placed it right at the final switch-back of our path, literally blocking the path. I've never seen mom so upset and listened as she lodged her complaint on the phone. I don't think either she or Ed were ever satisfied. Dumbest feud ever. - DSC02846
