Blog Day # 125 in a day of my life. Walk to Happy Hour!

     Now that we have the internet back-thank goodness we did not lose power! 105 degrees at 6pm on our walk to the Brambleton Town Center Friday night to celebrate Sherry's retirement. We had planned to sit outside, but it was so hot-that they shut the patio down. So I will catch up- as we did not get back on line until 5PM Sunday! Cudos to Verizon Fios- they called every step of the way and kept us informed!



On our way from Marcus and Tammy's house. They live one mile from us-just across the street from the Town Center. You see down here- when they build a community- they also build a town! Banks-groceries-dry cleaning- bars- everything you would find in a TOWN!





Hand in hand- Deb and Mike and Sarah already waiting for us to get there. IT WAS HOT!


         Ella and Taylor waiting to be seated! Taylor says all the time, "ELLA-ELLA!"
After dinner- we walked outside to the fountain in front of the theaters(16 of them) and the babies were in awe with the jets of water.





First mistake- Maddy leaning over to feel the coolness of the water-then both of the babies had to do that!

And of course grandma had to show them how!






                                       First Taylor- she is our little dare devil!

                                       Debby and Tammy- proud mothers and proud daughters!



                                                So glad they followed us to Northern Va. 12 years ago!



Now all three young ones are about to play in the jets of water- it was so funny and commical!

               Taylor was the first one to get her face wet-when it squirted her directly in the face!



                                      She laughed and laughed- the innocence of youth!




                                     Her dress is soaked and water dripping from her nose!




                                    She is always happy and smiling-it just captures your heart.

Cassidy - on the other hand - is a little bit reserved- but she climbs everything- you really have to watch her or she is 4 or 5 feet off the ground.




She always looks so serious- a mind of her own-Taylor will listen-Cassidy does what Cassidy wants to do- but then she has that funny little grin- and those eyes are to die for. INDEPENDENT but very cautious.



ELLA- what can I say about her? She is the one Taylor loves- always going around saying ELLA!
Ella has a heart of gold- always there- even if they weigh 1/3 of her wt. she is carring them!



Now we begin our walk back to Tammy & Marcus house- and of course- the twins take the challenge!


Grandma gets involved-only because Cassidy will not go to anyone else who is an adult-she adores her Grandma- everywhere Sherry is- there is Cassidy-either hiding around her legs-clutching her or saying UPPIE PLEASE!







Sarah leading the way- our little miss fashion- dramma queen- beautiful little girl! Full of energy. She will one day be a fashion model or consultant!

And then there is MADDY- she is so beautiful-both inside and outside- she leads by example-I NEVER WANT HER TO GROW UP!



OUR FIVE GRANDAUGHTERS-ALL HERE FOR WHEN GRANDMA RETIRED! PRICELESS!


ALL DIFFERENT IN THEIR OWN LITTLE WAYS-YET ALL THE SAME IN OUR WAY OF FAMILY LIFE.



EACH HAS THEIR OWN IDENTITY- EACH ONE IS SO DARN CUTE-AND THEY ALL GET ALONG TOGETHER- FIVE LITTLE GIRLS.

I LOVE THIS NEXT PICTURE-JUST LOOK AT EACH ONE'S EXPRESSION- EACH ONE IS DIFFERENT-AND EACH ONE'S EXPRESSION IDENTIFIYES THEM AS THEIR OWN PERSONALITY!

 


MADDY OH MADDY- HOW YOU HAVE GROWN- A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY TO BE-
SMART-ATHLETIC-AND VERY PRETTY- AND VERY MOTHERLY AND CARING-JUST LIKE HER GRANDMOTHER!



SARAH- OUR LITTLE FREE SPIRIT- A BUTTERFLY FLOATING IN THE WIND.SHE IS SOMETHING- SHE WILL BE SOMETHING- AND THIS PICTURE IS HER!




ELLA-ELLA-ELLA- THATS WHAT THE BABIES SAY OVER AND OVER- SHE CAN BE QUIET-YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW SHE IS THERE- BUT WHEN SHE LAUGHS- AND SMILES- THE WORLD BECOMES A LITTLE BIT BRIGHTER- MY LITTLE FRIEND-ELLA.


AND WITHOUT THEM- NONE WOULD BE HERE- THANK YOU LORD FOR THESE BLESSINGS- BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS- BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRLS.



     THAT WAS OUR WALK-TO AND FROM OUR LITTLE CELEBRATION- NOW THE BIRDS ARE CHIRPING- AND A NEW DAY BEGINS- A NEW BEGINNING FOR OUR WONDERFUL SHERRY-AND ONE OF THE LITTLE PRESENTS SHE RECIEVED WAS A SMALL AMULENT-INSIDE WAS A FLYING PIG.

               I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS MESSAGE THAT IS SO TRUE-

                           MAKE A WISH---AND DON'T ASK WHY--
                           YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER--
                                           "WHEN PIGS FLY"!

        THIS FLYING PIG IS JUST FOR YOU-BECAUSE DREAMS ARE WISHES

                                     THAT "DO" COME TRUE!!!




                     TO MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE-HAPPY RETIREMENT-AND NOW YOU
                                           CAN DO WHAT IS MEANT FOR YOU!

                                              I LOVE YOU-AND YES-PIGS FLY!
