Last weekend for Tropical Specials


Take advantage of the 'first drink 1/2 off special' for anyone coming to LAKEVIEW in February, dressed "Hawaiian Style" Friday or Saturday Night. We can whip you up a scrumptious Aloha ice cream drink if you just say the word. Don't forget Saturday Night is the night for Bob's Karaoke for those who like to join in song or just want to sit back and listen.

Tonight's supper specials include our own lightly breaded and broasted cod and butterfly shrimp. Saturday night is (beef) prime rib and BBQ country style ribs.

So come on out for a reasonably priced meal and/or tip a few drinks and get away from it all...

Easier than a website?

That's the claim, but whenever I do something new, man, it takes me forever. Anyway, I'm going to get this linking thing down. But in the meantime, these pictures are kind of fun to share (even though the photographer maybe had a bit too much Bailey's in her coffee, [I confess] that afternoon). Has anybody else got some? I took a couple outside of the "course" but they didn't turn out.

I've got alot of the fishing pictures posted in an album. Will get that address (or slide show) on to the web page very soon. Just blogging along...linda

And then the sun went down...


and so did we.

Snolf pictures




















Snickers, the Snolf Penguin mascot, greeted visitors and let them know for weeks that SNOLF was coming in February.

WELCOME


Just wanted to stop for a minute and thank you for landing here.
This is my first experience with "blogging" and just started typing that last post. I've received very positive feed-back from some of you that viewed our new website http://lakeviewresortlakepoinsett.com/

"So," some have asked, "where did you learn how to publish a website?" Let me answer: that it is something I've always wanted to learn more about. When I was in Sioux Falls this past fall with Bob (while he was his mother, Dee's health advocate after her heart surgery, and that's a whole other story) I saw my opportunity to use my time there to learn and put into practice coursework from SBI, Site Build It, an online marketing company. Before I spent a dime, they offered so much FREE information. I learned all that I now know for publishing a simple website from them and gained the confidence I needed to move forward. With their help, I am still learning and appreciate you bearing with me on my adventure into the world wide web. If you want to know more about websites, follow this link

And hey, this blogging has some real potential here for on-line sharing. If you're new at this like me, I encourage you to try your hand at posting something, anything here...

Winter Fun

In my world, it's Thank God it's Monday. The day I spend laying in bed watching a movie (or pre-recorded TV show) until 10 am. Then up, but not dressed to go anywhere, drinking coffee, sitting at the computer, in the kitchen, wandering aimlessly through e-mails, searches, dirty laundry, what's for dinner(?) thoughts, while reflecting on the events of the weekend...
Jeez, we had some fun. Friday night, our Renegades dart team played at home while the PPP got ready for Saturday's Snolf tournament. Had visitors in, all the way from Lake Norden who all contributed to a fun night for all.
Snolf on Saturday was a blast for all the participants. Little chilly with the wind, but they dressed for it. Those of us inside (the "window lickers") as Brad nick-named us, (no doubt, his black lab, Billy, inspired that term) enjoyed ourselves while waiting for the brave ones to finish up. A 1st & 2nd place purse was won by the M&Ms and the PipeRentchs' and everyone won a door prize in the drawing. Kevin handled the drawings and kept the tunes comin'.
