I put my paintbrush down
and
made a special memory
this week.
My Mom turned 73
and she had a goal.
And Here It Is!
She has dreamed of the day
that
our four generations of Lake Girls
would ski together.
We Did it!
We all got up!
Nana Barb is 73
Nanny Deb (me), 52
Steph is 31
And Taylor is 9.
Nana has been waiting
for Taylor to say
"I'm ready".
She said it.
We all gulped and
grabbed our skis.
Three of us would be on slalom
and Taylor on two.
We had to round up
our brave boat driver, Poppy Mark,
who would have to field
suggestions (ahem)
from the four lake girls in the water.
Anticipating
the "up"
we were in the water
with our cute dry hair. : )
That didn't last long...
It took us a few tries
for everyone to get up.
Once Taylor got the hang of it
she was the first one up.
That tiny light body on two skis pops right up.
The slalom girls have to drag in the water for a bit.
Taylor wonders if we're ever coming up.
She keeps checking on Nana Barb.
"Are you up yet, Nana Barb?"
How bout now?
I think this is it!
I think we're all making it this time!
You Go Girls!
Wow, were we whooping it up
and thanking our Maker.
There was so much laughing, whooping and chatting
on the ride around the lake.
Yay, we made the turn.
Still laughing and chatting...
Nana Barb can't stop smiling.
I can't stop smiling.
It was a lesson in Perseverance.
We kept trying until we made it.
A group effort...
And a Big Group Hug afterward!
Nana's dream and determination
made this day possible.
We unwrapped a gift that day
that will be such a special memory
for Four Lake Girls.
