The First One Where They Were Seventeen

May 17-19, 2019

It's been raining.  For weeks.  This has been the wettest Spring ever.  But that didn't stop the Twisters, Emma and Lara, from turning seventeen on Tuesday, May 14th!  This one hit pretty hard.  Junior year is winding down.  Emma finishes high school at Mulhall-Orlando this week.  One more week at Meridian.  And Lara has one more week at Stillwater.  Then Junior year is COMPLETELY over.  HOW?!?

Friday night, the 2 of them were actually in the same place at the same time!  They were both at their Dad's house in Orlando, and they went to the movies to see "Hustle."  The rest of the weekend, Emma went to Newkirk to help clean up from the tornado/wind/rain mess that destroyed part of Grandpa Bruce's NAPA store up there.  Lara had to come back to Stillwater for a babysitting gig on Saturday evening.  Sunday, Lara went with us to OKC to watch her "little" brother Jake play in a big basketball tournament.  His AET 2025 team won their division - we are so glad Lara gets to come along to some of these moments!  She is a great supporter of Jake and the things he does.  We RUCHED back to Stillwater Sunday evening for a quick trip to the SHS Pioneer Baseball Banquet.  She left after the managers/trainers were recognized so she could get home to finish homework.  Little did she know, school would be canceled for the next 2 days due to storm warnings, tornadoes, and flooding all over our town.

No pictures form this weekend, but we are in the middle of selling Pioneer Football cards, so I made this little graphic for her:






There were no pictures from the baseball banquet since we weren't there very long, but I did take this picture of the program...



Until next week...
