Lake Murray Life

Lake Murray Submarines!

So my wife, Jo Leigh, and I tried out the new sub shop on Marina Road called Lake Murray Submarines and we were very impressed.  They’ve been open for a couple of months now, and the girl behind the counter said that business is good.  All of the Signature Subs are $6.99 and for that meager price you’ll get 6 ounces (more than 1/3 of a pound) of Premium Boar’s Head Deli Meats toasted on your choice of bread and served with chips and a pickle spear.

I ordered the sandwich that has the same name as the restaurant…the Lake Murray Submarine.   It was stacked high with Black Forest Ham, Ovengold Turkey, Londonport Roast Beef and topped with Provolone cheese.  Two words–Really Good!  Also, they serve the subs with a side of sauce that is somewhat similar to Thousand Island dressing but certainly has a slight twist to it.

Jo Leigh chose the “Build Your Own” option and built herself a ham and cheese on wheat.  She particularly liked the way that the lettuce was shredded.  It was so fine that it was as if it had been run through a cheese shredder.  She chose to substitute fries for her chips for an extra $.99.  Also, she ate my pickle because I hate pickles!

All in all, it was a very good experience.  It’s a little more expensive that the Subway right up the street, but the old saying is true:  You get what you pay for.  Plus there’s just something satisfying about supporting a local business.   Two thumbs up.

Ladies Day on the Lake

Would you like to know how to back a boat trailer?  How about launch and recover a boat at a launch ramp?  Or maneuver a boat at the dock?  Maybe just be able to handle the boat in open water?

Well, you need to plan on being at the Lighthouse Marina in Chapin on June 14 from 9am to 3pm.  That’s when DNR is having their annual “Ladies Day on the Lake” where all of your boat questions will be answered.

And don’t worry, no husbands or boyfriends allowed…Ladies only.  The cost is $30 and that includes all instruction, refreshments, lunch and drinks.  You can register on the Lake Murray Association’s website or by calling Ken Fox at 803.604.1409.

Great Weather!

It’s Memorial Day Weekend…The unofficial start of summer.   I don’t know about you, but I’m heading to the lake!  It’s shaping up to be wonderful weather for Lake Murray on the holiday weekend.  Weather.com says it’ll be 89, 90 and 91 degrees on Sat, Sun, and Mon.  It also uses phrases like “Plentiful Sunshine” which are good to see when you’re going out on the water.

Get yourself on the lake this weekend then come back here and tell us about it.  It’ll be busy so be safe.  Don’t drink and drive (boats included).  Designated drivers save lives on the water, too.

Backyard Beautification

This is the time of year when people really start getting outside. For some people, that means yardwork. For one local blogger, that means yardplay! I suggest that anyone interested in improving their own yard could learn a lot from the Backyard Wildlife Habitats blog. It hasn’t been updated in a while, but she has extensive archives that have a lot of good content.

Lake Murray Moms

Ladies, have you heard about the new support group for moms called Lake Murray Moms? I think it’s a great idea! Having been raised by a stay-at-home mom, I know some of what they go through. My mom hated being called a housewife. She would always say, “I didn’t marry the house!” She preferred the term homemaker, and that’s certainly what she was.

However, the group caters to all moms: stay-at-home moms, working moms and single moms. I think it’s great for women to have a place to go be around other like-minded women. They offer children’s field trips and playdates throughout the month and they also have a monthly mom’s only “social.”

If you’re interested, you can go to LakeMurrayMoms.com or you can call Happy Jackson at 315-5225.
