Wednesday - July 20

 H A P P Y   B I R T H D A Y   MAEVE 

Our little Moppet is SIX today

What joy this adorable little girl has brought to our family - Maeve oozes sweetness and although she's small, she's mighty!    No problem keeping up with her brother.    Maeve loves her baby dolls, swimming (wow, that girl can move across the pool), cheese pizza, mani-pedi's, the color "teal", and loves dressing up (Princess style)!!!     Can't believe she'll soon be in 1st grade.....Grandma can remember so well July 20, 2016 when she arrived in Florida - 2nd granddaughter and 8th grandchild!    And now she's a little Carolina girl!  Maeve is always smiling and  loves to "pose" for Grandma (the Photo Queen according to Blair)!   Ha!

Whew,,,,,4 family birthdays in 6 days!     Lots to celebrate...now a reprieve till Philip in September!    Along with Maeve, today is also the birthday of Auntie Karen (youngest of the Chamberlain clan), my dear friend Allie, and our long-time neighbor and friend, Angie who passed away in 2009.   

We 3 walked downtown for breakfast at Coffee Express - very busy as always.   We sat outside and enjoyed our quiche/breakfast sandwich/coffees and a nice breeze. 

Marilyn and I just chilled for a while - had planned to take Millers Ferry to Kelley's Island today, but threatening weather and strong winds in the forecast, so.....tomorrow, we'll go there. 

  Mark started waxing Flo...and Great Lakes Diesel called - they are coming Friday to check Catrina.    We were under a severe weather alert for 6 hours starting at 2:00.   Hot, sunny and very windy today!

We drove to Docks Beach House for lunch - good as always and then Mark dropped we girls off downtown so Marilyn could "experience" the Great Lakes Popcorn Co." and the Port Clinton Candy Co.  Fun for her and a few treats for all./

Hello from Lake Erie

We walked home and all 3 of us took a nap!   😉

When rain is in the forecast here on Lake Erie, it means business and around 4:45, the downpour came and kept coming!    WOW!   Wouldn't want to be caught out in that.    Turns out we got 1/2" - sure seemed like more

Thank you Claire for identifying those pretty red flowers in downtown Port Clinton as mandevilla!

Facetime with Maeve and her party at the camp tonight!    Fun time with her friends!    She's had quite a big day!

Party time celebrating Maeve!!!
