While some of us just simply dream of doing special things, there are others of us mortals who actually make our dreams come true.

I’m not sure what makes the difference but this young man who married my granddaughter Evin Nicole Drake has made his first step on a dream he told me about a few years ago and I have no doubt he will complete that dream.

Some time back I told his mother Renee Bender who lives in Salem Ohio, that I thought he was a genius to which she said emphatically HE IS A GENIUS.

I type up my stories on my IPad, take pictures with my IPad, store them in my IPad album then add them to my stories and email the completed story to this young man who lives in Bloomsburg Pennsylvania where his wife and my granddaughter a Doctor is doing her residency. He puts it on line for me because I don’t know how to do that.

He is Matt Bender and when I sent him the story about my brother having his airplane, hanger and black top runway beside his home for easy get away he said “I’m going to have that also.” And you know what??? Take a look at these fantastic prize winning pictures and see for yourself.

He now has his license and can take passengers sooooo it’s his lovely wife, my granddaughter Evin.

She is not so sure….

I have no doubts that Matt will fulfill his dream so keep your eye on this young man. For him it’s UP UP AND AWAY ✈️

My granddaughter Terri Hires Doss and her husband Gary Doss, shown above, are the proud parents of Samuel and Joshua, and I, Flo Fisher, am their great grandmother.

These two young men are the grandsons of my daughter Carole Suzanne Smith, who sadly we lost from lymphoma cancer 20 years ago, is smiling as she looks down from heaven.

Above Terri and her two precious baby boys.

When the family came to the boy’s Uncle Tracy and Aunt Pamela Drake home in Salem Ohio these two boys enjoyed the pool as depicted in these photos.

Joshua stayed close to the edge of the pool with his great Gramma, me, right there watching closely for his safety.

Samuel being older was having fun floating with a tube and splashing all around in the pool.

As these little boys grow up………

Needless to say, mother Terri and father Gary, of these handsome young men, are bursting with pride along with their Great Grandmother, me, Florence Fisher.

Not to be left out, Terri Doss, Samuel and Joshua’s mother, does transcriptions at home and……..

King Tinker’ has feline supremacy and is busy writing his Royal Memoirs.

That is what my daughter Pamela Dawn Drake said after her 66th birthday party held at her beautiful home in gated Deer Creek community Sarasota Florida.

One thing for sure, she is very, very happy that she now lives in the beautiful sunshine state of Florida. Would you like to see how happy she is? Well……com along with me while we have a look at her 66th birthday party.

Our lovely neighbors Darlene LaPage and Patricia Boyer have appeared at our front door bringing a beautifully wrapped gift, a three bean salad and a bottle of chilled champagne. Aren’t they precious?

Every good party starts with a toast to the birthday girl so Tracy prepares drinks for each of us. Since I have no photo of this will you please use your imagination and picture each of us happy party people raising a goblet of champagne with a toast to happy 66th birthday girl, Pamela!
