Lake Pleasant was Pleasant

Yoli and Mone
Mark and Yoli. I guess the lake is usually SUPER crazy over Memorial Day weekend but this time it was pretty chill.. even the cove where everybody parks their boats together to party was kinda vacant.

This is what clumsy me did to my arm Friday morning. I spilled scalding hot lemon/ginger/honey water all over my arm and shattered my new glass-great job Cindy! It didn't bubble tho and it could have been worse.

Yoli and her brother came to town Friday for a short, short visit. Mone, another high school friend from Elgin, IL took us all out on his boat. I nearly crapped my pants with the way he was driving that boat. We were going 50 miles an hour jumping over the waves, then he'd turn the steering wheel super sharp and we'd nearly flip over, at least it felt that way. I made the mistake of pouring my beer right before we took off and I lost all the beer within the first 2 minutes. I am kinda glad he made me leave my dogs at home. They would have HATED that boat ride. It was fun tho... perfect weather.

My friend Mone and I moved to AZ back in 1997 and have been here ever since. I've known him since high school-we got in trouble in Sculpture Class and had to write an essay because I was passing around a photo we had of him with his pants pulled down.

My newest Cindy Sunday partner is leaving Thursday. My house will be empty again and i'll be back to having 3 crazy mutts instead of 4. I'll have to find a new Cindy Sunday partner. Saturday we went to the Yucca for the Maricopa Country Prison Band record release party. Dana was spinning some records in between sets and a few other folks showed up.

Sunday we headed back up to Lake Pleasant with the dogs and a cooler full of beer, chips and dip. It started out a bit rough but ended up being a really good time. We decided to try to take the backroads to the lake.. that wasn't such a good idea, so we turned around and just paid the damn fee and set up camp at an area we had yet to visit. It was green and mossy and more of a fishing spot than a swimming spot. The dogs knocked over my beer and ran over the sleeping bag getting that, and the french onion dip full of dirt.. grrrr.... All in all it turned out good and we passed out on the sleeping bag with all the dogs and baked our bodies.
