August 18, 2014 through August 31, 2014 – We spent most of this time on the boat in Ft. Lauderdale.Tucker Rolle, from Compass Cay, was in town Thursday, August 21 through Saturday, August 23. We went to dinner with him and friends, Mary and her son, Will, on Thursday and Friday evenings. Rick took Tucker around town shopping on Friday and to the Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport on Saturday, where he caught his Watermaker Air flight back to Staniel Cay.
We had some unexpected repairs made on the boat Monday through Wednesday, 8/25 through 8/27, and returned to Palmetto on Thursday, 8/28, for medical appointments scheduled on Friday. Our oldest granddaughter, Vanessa, went to a friend’s on Friday for a 2-night sleepover, so she was not able to join us on Saturday when we took Rick’s mother and brother, our son and daughter-in-law and the baby to supper at the Bradenton Yacht Club.
On Sunday, August 31, 2014, we joined over 35 people in wishing our other granddaughter, Emma Grace Hoffmeister, a very happy first birthday.

It was great to see many friends that JP grew up with attending with their families: Grey and Rebecca (who co-hosted the baby shower with me last year); Drew and Breana with their 6-month old son; and Curtis and Chris with their two daughters Haley and Marisa. There were guests from JP’s running club and several people who worked with Kellie in attendance and many of them brought their children with them. I was also very thankful that several in the family were able to come from out of town including: Rick’s mother, Geri, and brother, Edward; my brother, Bill with his wife, Mary; and also coming from the Daytona Beach area (after church) my niece, Melissa and her 16-year old son, Michael.
It was also very nice of our neighbor and long-time friend, Ann Mahoney to skip the first part of her own birthday party to attend. Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. There were a few yard games for the children to play and a slide show of picture’s taken during Emma’s first year in the downstairs playroom where the food was set up. Emma had her own little cake with whipped cream frosting that she delighted in smearing all over her face. After a dunk in the pool to clean off, she opened lots of presents (with the help of her Mom, Kellie) and enjoyed all of the new toys and clothes. In deference to the parents’ wishes, I will not post pictures of any of the children.
