Summer activities in May

---

After returning from Disney World, we had a very active month of May.

The month started with the end-of-the-year school activities. We visited Ted’s school and later we attended Emmy’s fifth grade promotion at Lakeview. We also attended Hannah’s dance recital at Dunwoody Baptist Church.

I also got a chance to attend an interesting event in Fayetteville, Georgia for the unveiling of a plaque recognizing the historical significance of the Holliday-Dorsey-Fife House. My great-great grandfather was born and raised in this house. The famous ‘Doc Holliday’ also had a connection with this house with some of his relatives living there for a while. Doc was said to have visited there many times.

We did one road trip this month with a drive to Birmingham for a visit with John and Carla Maguire. Jack and Marion McKee joined us there. It was a great reunion of friends from our Four Winds neighborhood and ended with plans to meet again in the fall at a casino in Mississippi.

After this trip it was time to open the pool at our condo. We had a great party which was well attended by our new friends here. We had added pool heaters to make the water warm enough to swim. Last year it was impossible most of the year.

One highlight of the month was a fishing day with Jack. We went up to the Stephens farm in Lula and did some target practice and then fishing in the lake. We had a great day catching many bream and bass. The lake is full. Both of us can't wait to get back.

The day after fishing with Jack, I did a Girl's Day in North Georgia. I took four of our granddaughters to Helen to tube down the river and do the water park. It was great.

On May 31st, we attended Claire’s pool party for her eighth birthday. It was great fun. The kids had a ball. I shared lifeguard duties with Mitch. Jennifer’s pool is wonderful and just right for this type event.
