DAY 10: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2019 : MADDY‘S 17th BIRTHDAY: SO PROUD OF HER

We woke up early to catch Maddy before she left for school— singing Happy Birthday in our scratchy morning, 7am voices, and wishing her a very happy day  and  successful, experience filled year. As the oldest grandchild, Maddy has been the role model for the younger 7 which includes her sisters. She has done so many things in her 17 years from bring an excellent student to a musician to playing basketball and soccer. We are all so proud of her.

    WE LOVE WATCHING HER PERFORM WITH HER MARCHING BAND AND LISTEN TO HER PLAY THE SAX IN THE JAZZ BAND

                SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GIRL, INSIDE AND OUT

      LOVING THOSE LITTLE COUSINS 


                              A DINNER WITH HER SISTERS AND GREAT GRANDMA AND GREAT GRANDPA

Feeling we had wished her a happy day, I went for run to explore this beautiful resort. I found I could run around the whole lake, by the cafe, and around all the campsites. This resort is laid out very well. When we were at North Lake in Texas, we were fooled! Lol! No lake— just in name only.

Some of my sights:

    BY THE CRYSTAL CLEAR POOL

        THE FLAMINGO LAKE AND AMERICAN FLAG– NOT WINDY ENOUGH TODAY




   TOMFOOLERY‘S HOME FOR THE WEEK

Yes, today is mostly about Maddy, but that is good! We texted and called her and texted with mom. We can’t believe she is 17 today! She is amazing!

  MADDY AND MORGAN ON TOMFOOLERY, CATALINA 380

WE READ DR, SUESS OBLECK, AND MADE THE GOOEY GREEN LIQUID SOLID GOOK. 
         
GREAT FUN SKATING IN FLOWER MOUND

So many wonderful memories and more to come. 

Today, I was fortunate to get in an outdoor run before it poured. It was a good day to grocery shop and pick up the little things I needed to make more crafts. Tom needed a Home Depot run, of course. I did, with coaxing, encourage him to let us shop for a new pair of jeans. His are all too big. Looking good!

Highlights of the day: Celebrating Maddy‘s birthday even though it was from afar and exploring Flaming Lake.
