HAPPY "21st" BIRTHDAY
LIAM
Liam Patrick (our 3rd grandson) arrived the morning of February 4, 2005. We remember so well Patrick carrying his brand new bundle of joy and first-born son down the hallway to meet his grandparents!
How we wish Patrick could be here to see this young man. Anne's a proud Mama for sure
And now 21 years later, he's a junior at the University of Iowa majoring in Computer Science and Math. He's also working part time and running/swimming/biking keeping in shape for marathons and triathlons. He's got oodles of energy, loves to cook and has a fun sense of humor. You make us proud, Liam!!!
Mark and I left CT at 8:40 this morning for our little getaway to Stuart (2 1/2 hours). We stopped in LaBelle for coffee/breakfast at the Bridge Street Coffee and Tea Co. (aka Charlie's to the locals). I drove from CT to Okeechobee and then Mark took over. Parked downtown and I hit the Flagler Avenue shops. It's been 7 years since we were in Stuart (visited here frequently when we had Daisy in Okeechobee). Some of the shops are the same, a few different, but so enjoyed strolling and browsing. Then we went to Sewell's Point for more good shopping (Mark stayed in the car with his I-pad or napped). I was even offered (and accepted) a glass of wine at a new shop that opened a few weeks ago and still celebrating their "Grand Opening" with wine, cheese/crackers, strawberries, grapes, and little cookies + water to go! WOW....pretty neat!
We had linner at "Waterfront" - pretty restaurant on the water....enjoyed our meals and then walked a bit, but chilly along the boardwalk. Checked into our hotel and wound down for the day!
Had a great chat with Liam.....he's had a busy day starting with a 19-mile virtual stationary bike ride with Connor. He had 4 classes, went for a run, fixed dinner and treated himself to some salted caramel/brownie ice cream!
