Saturday-Sunday, February 22-23

I had a wonderful birthday weekend in North Carolina – quick little getaway, but so fun with Blair, her brothers, Michael and Brooke.    We had a leisurely Saturday morning – Michael and Mark ran some errands and we all went to Brady’s ballgame at 2.   His team won 16-13 with Brady scoring 4 points!   Mark brought his new camera and got some pics and video of the game,.   Bob and Judy (Brooke’s parents) joined us at the game and then back to the house for some euchre which the guys won 2 out of 3. 
Michael and Brooke went out for dinner with friends and the rest of us enjoyed a delicious tortellini dinner which Brooke had prepared!    After baths and showers, we got Brady and Blair tucked into bed with lots of hugs and kisses.    What fun they are…..so enjoyed our baby girl and of course, Brady is always such a delight!    Drew and Davis are growing up fast and busy with all their 6th and 8th grade studies and activities!   And at that stage where they do not like to have their picture taken (Drew, for sure)!    I hate good-byes - so hard when we live so far apart and babies change so fast!
 
Grandpa and I went to bed around 9 – early morning coming up!

Sweet baby girl - oh how I'm going to miss you!
Sunday – up and going at 4:15 AM, quietly left the house and on our way to the
 Greenville, SC airport.    

There was very dense fog in Punta Gorda this morning so our flight was delayed 1 hour and 25 minutes.    Finally took off and landed at 11:10.   We had planned to go to 11:00 Mass with Roger and Carol, but didn't make it.   

We did meet Connie and Steve from Fort Myers and Ron and Lois from Punta Gorda at the Laishley Crab House for lunch - so good to all be together and catch up!   Lunch was excellent and very pleasant sitting on the patio overlooking the Peace River.

We went to 5:30 Mass at St. Columbkille and stopped at Publix for a few things!

So proud of and happy for our niece, Colleen who has just accepted a job with the VA hospital in Tepeka, Kansas.    Colleen is finishing up her doctorate in psychology.

Have a great week.....
