It's that time of year again where all the woman from the Myers side get together for our little gathering at Table Rock that we endearingly nicknamed 'Botchfest!' The picture to the left was taken by our overwhelmed but awesome waitress at the Big M Marina eatery called Dock n' Eat. We went to this little floating restaurant after a day of floating, diving, ok jumping off cliffs and enjoying an occasional libation! We were actually forced to go a little earlier than planned by a late afternoon rainstorm but that was ok. Some of us needed to get our land legs back even if on a floating dock plus it got really busy once we were done eating. It also gave us a chance to all be together in one place since we were pretty divided by the two houses and two boats we occupied. We also got to wear our snazzy t-shirts I designed and ordered to commemorate our botchfest 2007! All I have to say is this place has the best food after you've been on the lake all day drinking(occasionally, of course!)
This has become something I look forward too every summer. It reminds me of the days as a young girl at summer camp! Shenanigans, floating in the water without a care in the world and great company and food! It's a chance for aunts and cousins to come together as sisters. Most of us are grandmothers and mothers and we come together to bond and bitch over our common threads. To have the occasional prank pulled, to make us laugh, to relax, and to remind us that we need to make time for ourselves so we can be even better wives, girlfriends, moms, grandmas, sisters, and daughters to our families. A big botch thank you goes out to Susie an Debbie for opening their beautiful homes to us this year and every year! Without them this weekend would never happen. So to all my lady navy seals(you know who you are!) and to all my other botches, thanks for the memories! Can't wait till next year!
Later botches!
