Happy Anniversary, Molly!

14 years ago I married the love of my life. She is more to me than anyone will ever know. I just want the world to know that there is nothing it can offer to take her place. Thank you for being my wife and best friend. I love you with all my heart!

Crooked Tree

We have a perennial winning team at the Heritage Golf Classic each year. We always win golf somewhere for our group. On the heels of trying to repeat in a couple of weeks we decided to use our prize from last year to play golf on Sunday. We played at Crooked Tree up in Petoskey. It was a beautiful day. Roger could not join us as he is still in recovery so we had Dave Crawford, who is still in recovery, join us instead. Here are a few pics.

Doug chipped it close.

Fairway shot.

Crawdaddy with the approach.

and another.

This par 3 was more difficult than it looks. Down hill with wind and all carry to the front edge of the green. All 4 of us hit shots to within 20 feet of the flag. It was a remarkable feat.

Way to go, Doug.

Here was an "average" house on the bay. We had some incredible views and saw some unbelievable homes.

I love you, Man!!

Track & Field Day

The kids had track and field day on Friday. Wednesday was a washout and so was Friday afternoon, but at least they got most of it in. Abby and Katie are so ready for school to be done. Only 2.5 days left. As a reward for their hard work and good grades we used some (most of it) of the proceeds from the garage sale on new bikes for them. They out grew the old ones a long time ago and it was long overdue and much deserved. We had a garage sale last September at our old house and their old bikes did not sell. The garage sale we had last Saturday was different. Their bikes were the first items sold. It was a bittersweet moment. Here are a few pics from Friday.

Katie warming up.

Abby warmed up, too. That is Ella Williams mid jump (nice pic Molly)

Ready to race against her buds.

Taking instruction with her arms crossed just like she does at home. How sweet!!

Never knew this could be sooo much fun!

Abby had a great class this year and she loved it. On her way to 5th grade now.
WHAT!!!???

Time for awards.

OK!! Just had to throw this picture in. How could I not?
