Monday - October 10

Happy "Golden" Birthday to "DAISY"

Miss Daisy is 10 on October 10th

 

Can remember so well this day 10 years ago when we picked her up in California.   Ahhh, the fun and memories we've had!

 

Philip took Mark and me to the Fort Lauderdale airport at 5 AM and good flight on Spirit Airlines to Chicago where the sun was shining and 50 degrees.   We got our rental car (with FL plates) and onto Gridley where we had a great visit with Barb and Roger and got the truck.    Returned rental to Bloomington airport, stopped at our storage unit and picked up Connor from school.   So good to see these guys (Liam is at the junior high).  They fished a little and Connor caught his first big catfish

(maybe same one Liam caught yesterday)?   

Then time for homework! 

Big honker....

Team effort with Dad

 

We settled in, Patrick mowed the lawn and we so enjoyed this beautiful fall day!

 

When we landed at O'Hare, Mark had an e-mail from Anthony (owner of Marine Propulsion Marina in Rockville SC) that all is well with Catrina.    Wadmalaw Island had a lot of damage with trees and power lines down but the marina was spared losing just a few tree limbs.    There's no power at the marina (and most of the island), but using generator.    We were relieved to hear this as very close nearby and also on Adams Creek, all the docks were washed away 

 

Pretty princess

Kiddies out for a nice evening stroll....

 

 We had Monical's pizza and salad for supper (family favorite)!   It was delish!!!
