I fin.

ished this puzzle last night, & I love it. The Yarbroughs gave it to me for Mother’s Day – June picked it out, I understand – but I didn’t start working on it until late in the summer. It is so pretty. I wish the picture had turned out better – the entire light blue part around the outside of the picture of the state flowers is a map, which was a different sort of challenge than putting the flowers together. Great fun.

Adam is #45, getting lined up & ready in his place on the punting team.

I got a couple of pictures after a big Bearcats victory Friday night. Andy & Amy came down for the game, so I got this pretty bad picture of him getting a hug from his Uncle Andy…

…and this one of him with his proud mama. Fun night.

Tuesday evening was Clara’s final home golf match of her high school career – another emotional evening. The team had decorated the cart that her parents rode in, even down to the ribbons on the posted that they hung on it. I loved the attention to detail.

Playing her final hole in her senior t-shirt. So special.

Quick picture with her good friend and teammate Mailey after the match. It was a very special evening.

Last night was the annual Choralier spaghetti supper fundraiser at the high school, and we enjoyed watching Clara and the rest of the Choraliers perform – as always. Every year they finish up the show with the same song, The Garden Song, and every year they invite former Choraliers to join the choir on the risers to sing that song. This year, being Clara’s last year, Addie agreed to go down and sing with her. It was just a tad emotional for their mother and grandmother, to put it mildly.

Clara does love being in this group.

Last week we were at Waterford, in Rock Hill, to see Clara in action. She shot her lowest score ever in a school match, her dad told me – a 41. We were so proud and excited! And that was in spite of ending up in the rough on this hole :-).

The girls had new t-shirts to wear, in honor of Shea Hall, the softball coach at the high school who is fighting cancer. I was proud that they were showing their support.

Last week we were at Springlake Country Club, where Clara and her family are members, for the final match she’ll play there in her high school career. It’s not her school home course, but it’s her own home course, so it was pretty emotional. I got this action photo of her.

And this one of her with her Aunt Moni – her dad’s sister – who is also a big golfer at Springlake. The pink hats are in honor of the softball coach at the high school, who is battling cancer. Special day.

Just a fun, fun evening…

We had a wonderful time last Saturday at Lesley & Connor’s wedding at Camp Cherokee, the camp where Lesley worked when she was growing up. Our grand girls were greeters and program distributors, and I got this picture of them just as we were getting there.

They requested no pictures be made during the ceremony, and people really did seem to follow their wishes, so the next picture I got was this one of Jenny, Andrew, Lindee, & Jeff during the Champagne Hour.

Everyone loved it when the dancing started up. That’s Meg in the blue floral & Sherri’s granddaughter Jade in the short black dress. It was just a fun, fun evening.
