The Big Lake

Ruth and Joan took us for a boat ride around Lake Keowee yesterday. It was a beautiful day but a little windy. The lake was built in the early '70's to service a nuclear power plant. It's big and very deep. Duke Power Co. built it and over time has developed and built subdivision projects on the shore. They have their own development company for this purpose. The housing is amazing. We lunched on the lake. It was a great tour and some pix are on the blog.
After that Dana and I did a little planning as the summer season approaches and we will be needing to have reservations at many of the places we want to see. We'll be stuck on a schedule which we've tried to avoid, until at least Labor Day.
For dinner we went back over to Ruth and Joan's. They invited their neighbors, Pamela and Bill over for drinks and then for dinner. We had a great meal and a great time. Their hospitality has been wonderful and we'll sure miss them as we get back on the road this am.
Yesterday I forget to mention an NBA tidbit. Did ya'll see the collision between Steve Nash and Tony Parker in the Sun's-Spur's game? They were both going for the ball and collided head to head. Nash's nose was a mess and they both must have had headaches in the morning. Nash had to leave the game because they couldn't stop the bleeding. He needed a cut man from with ring experience.
