December 2008
It’s been just over a month since my knee surgery and my recovery has not only been speedy-but the doctors are blown away by the range of motion that I have already. I guess all of those years without an ACL has helped…
We started our holiday season this year with Zane and Laurens 1st annual “Cheesy Sweater Party “09″. I arrived by boat with Joe and Jared dressed to the hilt in my $12 outfit from the Salvation Army. This was definitely a who’s who of “cheesy”. We walked up the lawn to find Capt Zane Stubbing with a hat directly from the Love Boat. As the night progressed the “cheese” thickened with old friends coming out of the woodwork. JD Webb, Derek Grassman, Andrew Atkinson and his new wife, Brian Hutton, Kevin Michaels (editor of Wakeboarding Mag), Jeff House, and the list goes on. There were between 60-80 people there throughout the night. Zane pulled out all the stops with a fully display of amazing food and beverages to fill a pool for a rail jam! He even had a first prize for the person with the “Cheesiest” sweater. I was in the finals but Andrew took first place with his Christmas sweater adorned with enough sequence to make Betty Bonifay proud. It wasn’t just a party-we did get our exercise in with keg stands! As the sun came up people started dropping in true vampire style. It was a great night!
We had an unseasonably cold November although December has made up for it so far! This time of year always reminds me of the reason I moved to Florida….mid 70 to mid 80deg temps daily – flat water and rarely a cloud in sight. Not to mention the sunsets! We’ve started to get really busy – alot of people have snow coming down and they are flocking to the camp to enjoy this utopia. Holiday bookings are almost full so call me soon to reserve your spot.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
