Alright so here it goes...catching up --
I went up to Stafford two weekends ago for my high school field hockey reunion. It's usually the "originals" that all show up - the girls who graduated in the 80's, I feel good saying I'm NOT an original! :) But a little sad that I was the only one from my class to show up. With the girls in tow - we didn't stay long unfortunately, Miss Crabby Pants was in full swing that day.
The main reason I wanted to be there was to honor our former hockey coach, Carol Lysher - she's been battling cancer and has come a long way the past few years. She coached my sister and I - and I've looked up to her since I was a little girl watching my sister play. She's such a role model for ladies of all ages, such a caring, generous person. They dedicated the hockey field to her and named it after her - "Carol F Lysher". She was surprised and elated, it was an emotional time.
It was a great weekend spent with family as well - wish Ben was with me, but he stayed home to work on the Firebird...which is SOOOO close to being completed! I stayed at my Mom's place and my Dad came over lots to visit - we went out to eat with my parents, brother and nephew Saturday night and spent a while at my Dad's house Sunday. It was a busy weekend, but it was great to be with everyone. My sister even came up Sunday...it was great. These moments when we're all together happen about 2 times a year, so I cherish them. I have to say that I am so thankful my divorced parents get along - I think they are better friends now than when they were married, strange how things work!
Grandpa gave Madelyn a tea party outfit!
She LOVED it! She wouldn't take the hat off
all day, even wore it to go potty!
