The storms were out there – but also clearing skies – we seem to get all these clouds every day from the ocean!
This storm rolled in from the NE – from the ocean.
It got very still and hardly any wind – the rain would come.
THE SKIES OF CAMERON WOODS COMMUNITY – OCEAN ISLE BEACH, NORTH CAROLINA – LIVING THE SALT LIFE!
TWELVE DAYS of non-stop activity – crossing off all that was on the list plus whatever we added!
Ferry rides – Fort Fisher – aquarium – scavenger hunt – arts and crafts at the park – Wonder Works in Boardwalk on the Beach – Lulu’s and playground at Barefoot Landing – Plus Bullys for lunch –
Then there were go-carts – mini golf – beach time – tidal pool – fireworks – golf cart parade – walking and riding bikes – crafts at home – IPAD time –
There was more – twelve days worth – and yes we were exhausted – but even now we miss them.
The parents came for overnight and then headed to Topsail Beach for vacation with Marcus’s family.
The kids were excited as they would see their cousins and grandparents.
It was a full twelve days of non-stop going – playing – creating – laughing – and they were so good!

We had a lifestyle change 17 years ago – I had eaten unhealthy for 45 years – much of that time fast food!
And I am fortunate that we took steps to eat healthily – as in my mind – I would not have survived –
For I had a Massive Heart Attack almost eight years ago!
But Sherry started taking nutrition classes and I followed what she learned.
I had already done the damage to my heart previously
had I not changed –
Well – the doctors told me I was the healthiest heart attack they had ever seen!
What we had done for nine years saved my life!
I gave up fast foods – most red meat – most dairy and no more milk!
No more sodas and cut way down on sweets.
It is a very hard thing to do – so my motto today is LIVING LIFE ONE DAY AT A TIME !
Cilantro – frozen blueberries – orange juice – two bananas – and a teaspoon of Organic Barley Grass
and Micro Ingredients( Vitamin A – Iron – Protein – Sodium – Carbohydrates – 1 g)
Blend in a blender and then drink a full glass!
Sherry is a certified Health Coach – we have also for 17 years taken a supplement called Juice Plus.
A process where 30 fruits – vegetables and berries – are juiced – dried – and put into capsule form or gummies!
Taken every day – this is what changed the most in my health.
And as a way to watch what I eat every day so as not to overload my system –
I also drink one of their powdered shakes – French Vanilla or Dutch Chocolate
and for me, it is a meal supplement! Usually lunch!
I now call my life – LIVING LIFE TO THE PLUS – ONE DAY AT A TIME!
It has been a journey – one that I can write about as I am still alive!
This is me – this is my life – my reasons to still be here –
Thanks for reading and if you are hungry –
This was drawn and painted by one of the employees who work at the pier!
The morning – first a beach walk – then two mazes for the kids to work their way out –
and then to the pier to have ice cream before their parents get there from NVA!
Day twelve of having grandkids staying with us!
We were so busy – ferry rides – mazes – aquarium – Boardwalk on the Beach – Barefoot Landing –
Mini golf – beach days – go- carts – music festival – arts and crafts – playgrounds – scavenger hunt –
Fourth of July golf cart parade – fireworks – eating out for lunch and dinners!
Walking – bikes – hoverboards – monopoly (Brunswick)- games – drawing –
Huge tidal pool – riding the waves – sunset slushes and more.
Now we have found out there are two different men who are drawing MAZES on the beach!
And both are done with just a special shovel – and that is it!
He has a Facebook page and now does it in memory of his wife who passed away.
According to a newspaper article – he does this with only a shovel and in his mind –
he draws them – starting in the middle and working out.
His wife would accompany him and test them out to make sure they were right.
Now – we have discovered a second man who draws his MAZES on the beach by the third street beach access.
The grandkids loved both of them – if you take the grandkids to the beach –
this will keep them entertained for a long time! LOL
His MAZES seem to be larger – I watched him and he would go into the maze and do some patch-up work with the shovel.

We had lists of things to see and do while they were here for twelve days!
The downtime was also on those lists and arts and crafts for each of them.
Keeping three kids on the go – with rest times.
While he did the crafts by himself – we had to read a lot of the instructions to him so he would understand them. He will be in second grade in the fall.
He did very well and made the contraption to pick up items from the floor.
She would much more like to ride a horse but she was game and made the things you see here
even stitching the leather notepad holder.
She is our reader – books and books – always reading.
She is so talented – making things – she made the cards – painted the switch plate covers –
painted rocks and copied the American flag that President Bush painted – exactly like he did.
The list was long – but downtime was important and it showed in the arts and crafts.
Thanks for reading Papa’s World- my blog: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
They show no prodigious – they share – they love and they sometimes cry but hug afterward.
They are children and we as adults are responsible for their eys in the future!
Our time here on earth is short – but our influence goes generation to generation –
Our historical presence is passed forward
If only we could overcome those thoughts and ideas and actions.
Look for the goodness of people – share love and gratitude – have compassion.
Thank you for reading Papa’s World: my site: livinglifedoinitmyway.blog
While I have known she has the ability to create – it surprised me just how well she can draw.
Sherry saw a picture on social media of an American flag painted by President Bush –
for the celebration of July 4th.
I guess he just did it in a few moments – as he also is a good artist.
She asked Cassidy if she could do the same thing by looking at the picture!
It looks just like his!
She has a unique ability to look at something and reproduce it!
A few down days and she sat and started drawing!
No one bothers her and she is very quiet – only a pencil and paper.
She is her own self – and a quiet sweetheart.
She has a focus on detail – a sense of shade – these are all just penciled drawings.
I showed them to her mother and I think she needs to pursue this talent.
Thanks for reading Papa’s World – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
“OUR CASSIDY – SEEMS SHE IS AN ARTIST”!
When they are home – it is outside they go – playing with friends – riding bikes!
So – before they came to visit for twelve days – we asked them to think about what they wanted to do!
And they came up with a list for each one to do and day by day we crossed those items off –
somedays more than one!
I still can not believe we did all of this – each day we added and crossed off – one by one.
And yes – by the end we were exhausted – but it was a good feeling and now –
They are gone and I wish they were back.
Here is where we took the grandkids for lunch after mini-golf – to SNOOKY’S.
This was the area we lived in for nine months at Ocean Keyes while the house was being built.
We would walk this beach every day for our three-mile walk.
This area here is where you ride the jet skies – paraglide and the big banana boats!
A great family beach!
Walk to main street and shopping.
SNOOKY’S is our favorite beach bar and grill in NMB!
We have taken most family and friends here.
Also – the water was very warm and great for swimming and wading.
What a good day – mini golf which is all Bode talked about and he picked out the mini golf course.
Lunch at Snooky’s and then some time hunting shells in the surf of Cherry Grove.
If you are interested in making the Myrtle Beach area your vacation spot – I recommend this area
as it is a great place for families and the beach are fantastic.
The Ocean Isle Beach tidal pool is on the east end of the island is near the new groin break wall.
The area does not have many people come to it as you have to walk from your car to get to it!
But – the beach here is so peaceful and quiet.
The tidal pool makes it easy to not have to watch the little ones all the time!
You can see the new groin break wall in the background!
What was nice was she did not have to worry about other people on the beach as we were in a spot with no one within fifty yards of where we sat.
East end of Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.
You can see in the pictures just how many people were around – a great spot to spend some quiet time!

We had them all to ourselves for twelve days! It was a busy time with a list that we completed!
And downtime scheduled in for time to relax!
We had to have downtime – for us and for them! LOL!
We planned events every day – and played during beach time –
But also crafts that all three did!
All three are talented!
In her downtime – this was her go-to – headphones and reading her books or watching movies.
They had their own creative space to do whatever they wanted for a couple hours!
Thanks for reading PAPA’S WORLD – my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog fitztdf@aol.com
DOWNTIME WITH THE GRANDKIDS AND THEIR OWN SLEEPING SPACES IN PAPA’S WORLD!
We left Boardwalk on the beach and drove back to Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach.
We lived for nine months near here and often came to just walk our three miles!
Around the lake and by the ICW and the marina.
Crooked Hammock – we watched it being built during the nine months we lived at Ocean Keyes.
Today – when we have friends staying with us or family – we try to bring them here.
The huge old oak tree in the playground.
This huge tree – was in another spot some 800 feet away –
they made that area into a parking lot and kept this tree by moving it here!
It is a few hundred years old and they wanted to save it.
That is conversation!
A good way to wrap up another busy day with the grandkids.
Going to miss them – life as grandparents – PRICELESS!
Thanks for reading PAPA’S WORLD my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
At the end – click on SUBSCRIBE and FOLLOW – it costs nothing! FREE!
If you are in Boardwalk on the beach – Wonder Works is tough to miss – it is a huge Mansion –
Completly “UPSIDE DOWN”!
I really did not know what to expect – only that some time ago I had asked a family –
that was exiting if it was worth it?
YES – YES – YES they replied – take your grandkids – they will love it and you can go in and out all day long!
WONDERWORKS!
Once there – you can head in a number of different directions – on beams six inches wide!
The routes would go higher and higher – some 30 to 40 feet off the floor!
And the surfaces would change – always an obstacle course to navigate!
They played up there for over two hours and went up twice!
But – this was only one game to play in this building –
A maze on the bottom floor for LASER TAG – which we also did!
showing your pose – they did this a couple times.
There was a virtual ride where you are strapped in your seat and it moved to whatever was being shown.
For instance a roller coaster for a coal car – up and down and around sharp corners.
The whole time you feel as if you are actually doing it!
WONDERWORKS!
All in all – we were in the UPSIDE DOWN HOUSE WONDER WORKS for over FIVE HOURS!
They loved it and so did we as we also got to do things!
It also is very educational there.
Cassidy was the same way but she promised Taylor she would not leave her!
We decided to leave Boardwalk on the beach and drive to Barefoot Landing for an early dinner.
But – to anyone who wants to visit Boardwalk on the Beach in Myrtle Beach –
The upside-down house WONDER WORKS is a treat for yourself and your kids or grandchildren!
NOTE: Check it out online as it does have some height restrictions!
Bode was fine – he passed all the restrictions.
It was a warm evening – and the kids were excited – we made our way onto the island and found a spot to park right across the street from the pier – we carried our chairs to a grassy area next to the roadway – we were about to have front row seats!
We were front row with our chairs and the grandkids were so excited!
Here you see Bode – Taylor – Cassidy and Sherry.
It was a joyous celebration of our nations birthday!
OIB – JULY 4th. GOLF CART PARADE – and then the RAIN CAME!
You should see the LIST – things that they wanted to do and wrote down!
We have one more to do – tomorrow – MINI GOLF!
Bode has wanted to play mini-golf on this one course in North Myrtle Beach
since we have been down here for two years!
The one that has the Airplane and Helicoper!
And the crafts they have done and completed – hours and hours of doing them!
We have been going to the beach every other day, mostly in late afternoons or early evenings.
That way – they will not get sunburned and they are now so tanned!
Having them here has been a joy – it will be twelve days total and their parents will pick them up.
Excitement – laughter – and some groans – but all in all – they have been very good.
Last year it was one week – this year twelve days – and we have done a lot in those times!
“PAPA – MORMOR – WHAT ARE WE DOING NEXT”?
I am going to miss them when they leave but will see them in a couple weeks –
they are going with their parents for an additional week on the beach at Topsail, N.C.
Then home and for two weeks will practice with a professional crew from California
in the musical LION KING!
We are going home to watch them.
Almost every day weather permitting – for the last 8 to 10 years – a man ( I do not know his name)
appears on the beach with just a shovel and draws these amazing MAZES!
There have been numerous newspaper articles – Facebook and other social pages and stories
of his unique style of PUZZLES on the beach at low tide.
The diagram also has instructions on how to TURN at each intersection –
you can not just walk straight through – you must turn in any direction.
The articles I have read – he does this as a hobby and for years for his wife until she passed away.
He decided to continue in her memory each day – she would accompany him and test out the MAZE!
I would like to meet him and talk to him!
While we were there for 45 minutes – at least a hundred people stopped and tried to solve the MAZE!
Although Ocean Isle Beach is closer to our home – we always take the company to Sunset Beach!
The beach is wider and more flat and shallow!
Plus – Sunset Beach is more residential and not as commercial.
The two – Bode and Cassidy are just alike although it is Taylor and Cassidy who are the twins.
Taylor takes after her MorMor who is tall – as do her cousins Sarah and Ella.
All three are going to be over 5’10”!

They both remind me of their mother Tammy driving around and around.
From a distance, I thought it was her.
We also found out that the show Hightower on Paramount – was filming there.
They were there once and the next day shooting again.
We passed the enormous white tents of the production crews –
and there was a flashing traffic sign announcing the date and shooting of the show.
After going on the go-karts twice – it was down time –
we stopped for Italian ice and then into the park to just relax and enjoy the evening.
PAPA’S WORLD – Grandkids – Go-Karts – Slushes – OH MY!!!!
We have an enclosed lanai along with an open patio with a fire pit.
It does get really hot in the sun out in the open – but mornings are shaded and so are early evenings.
Needless to say – we are not happy with this – I spread snake-be-gone around and mow the grass short.
But – it is a protected area in the woods – and since I put down the snake-be-gone –
we have not seen anymore – but I warn the grandkids to watch what they are doing!
This one I later found out was not poisonous and as soon as I took the picture-
it turned around and very fast went back into the woods.
We have also seen them down by the pond!
At night – deer will set off our motion light in the backyard as I will look out and see them.
We are only four miles from the beach – but it is real country.
One of the reasons we picked this area.
On the day of our anniversary – June 25th. – we journeyed to Boiling Springs, N.C. to play golf-
at THE LAKES golf course with our friends Buck and Cindy McBride!
We have been friends for over 35 years – and now that we live some 38 miles from them –
we get together to play golf as often as we can.
The course is off the beaten path and is the oldest course in Brunswick County, N.C.
But it is a fun course and not crowded when we played in the early afternoon.
Most golfers like to play early – when it is not so hot –
It does not bother us and we like no one pushing us!
Buck and I have been golfing partners for years and years – going way back to WNY!
It was a great way to spend the day – celebrating our anniversary – then having dinner at their house.
Thanks for reading Papa’s World – my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog fitztdf@aol.com
We dated a little over a year before we got engaged and then a year later married.
We both were married before – she had two daughters – I had two sons – and we had each other.
We lived way out in the country – the driveway was 1/10th of a mile long –
great in winter to sled ride.
That first year I mowed everything by hand – it took five days!
And then – rest for two and start over again – we bought a riding mower!
Those early years were lean years – combining two sets of kids –
running back and forth – very little extra money –
but we survived and to this day look back fondly on all those times.
We would pack breakfast – lunch, and dinners – take adventures –
the kids loved it.
Camping – in tents – visiting friends.
Marriages – moving – college – our family was just the two of us.
The kids were gone – we had moved from the country and into town.
Now – the house was empty and we had the opportunity to transfer to NVA.
We bought and sold three houses in NVA.
My sons stayed in Pa.
But – it seemed like the extended family all moved to NVA.
The family stayed in Pa. and Va. – her sister is building a small condo near us.
The family has visited us many times – my sons are coming end of summer.
Our grandson – Bode – put together an outfit for this particular day!
He selected everything here and his mother helped him attach the Star Wars figure on his shoulder.

I can see it like it was yesterday – taking them to pre-school – singing a song!
Twins – dressed alike and their little HELLO KITTY backpacks!
They are different – Taylor was the bigger – in fact, the reason they were brought into this world early!
Cassidy at 3 lbs and Taylor at almost 4 lbs.
For some reason, she was getting all the nutrients and growing – so at 32 weeks plus a day or two
the doctors decided it was time – and it also was their mother’s birthday!
So now we celebrate birthdays in threes!
Cassidy is the one who calls every week to talk to her MORMOR ( mothersmother) Swedish.
While she looks short – she is of average height – Taylor is going to be tall like her MORMOR!
Cassidy does soccer while Taylor has ridden horses since she barely walked.
Today they are both alike and different.
Taylor would spend all her time riding and carrying for horses.
Cassidy – searching YouTube for projects to make – she is really good at that.
Our little ones with the HELLO KITTY backpacks –
So grown up and doing their own things.

Decided to go to North Myrtle Beach where we lived for nine months until our house was built!
Mike and Sarah had not been there and we wanted to do a little shopping.
Then it was onto Barefoot Landing – another place we would go to while living in this area.
Shopping – looking around and Mike and I went to the waterfront bar of Crooked Hammock.
It was a fun-filled day exploring with the family –
Sarah got to go to her store that sells crystals
Mike got to see where we lived for nine months
Thanks for reading my blog: PAPA’S WORLD livinglifedoingitmyway.blog fitztdf@aol.com
Today they are grown up – two in college – one in H.S.
Where did that time go?
They still are full of laughing – smiles and giggles.
Sarah came along unexpected – and was always running around – clinging to her sisters.
All three are athletic – Sarah in track and the other two in soccer.
The growing up – in college – and now young adults – and coming to our home – loving the beach.
Thank you for reading PAPA’S WORLD – livinglifedoingitmyway.blog – fitztdf@aol.com
SARAH – MADDY – and ELLA – the Myers girls!
It was family time – a little bit of competition – racing GO-CARTS!
I sat this one out as I had a little kink in my back!
But – they all had a blast – round and round!
We found out later that the next day they were completing shooting a movie right there!
We had passed huge white tents being set up and there were flashing road signs – saying the movie set filming would be the next day.
Then I read in the news that they had already filmed at the track and were coming back to wrap it up!
Before the go-carts, we went to OIB FISH COMPANY to the top Tiki deck to have lunch!
And then down the stairs to the open-air bar to watch the boats coming and going.
We packed as much exploring time along with the beach as we could.
Being this was not a whole week as the older girls – who are college students-
had to return for work.
But – we did do the beach every day – we took them all into North Myrtle Beach
Leaving so many things to do when they come back.
Our family from Lake Holiday in Va. visited and we took them on a four-mile walk in the surf –
To the KINDRED SPIRIT MAILBOX and back!
This mailbox has been there for over 40 plus years.
Put there by a hippie and his girlfriend all those years ago.
Today – thousands of people every year walk to it – take out a journal and write their thoughts.
Those journals have been collected as historical and some are in a museum.
There are benches there and a driftwood piece with a plaque with his name on it.
One bench also has a plaque with a lady’s name and it calls her the KINDRED SPIRIT!

They came for a short visit – the first time for Mike and Sarah.
Sarah is the youngest at 15 years old.
Then Ella at 18 years old and Maddy at 21 years old.
Here they are under the pier at OIB.
Ella also is 5’10” and will start her Sophomore year at Randolph College –
where, as a Freshman, she started and played soccer at mid-field.
Maddy – will be a senior and three-year starter at the University of Lynchburg, in soccer.
She is co-captain this coming year –
The time here is going so fast but they will be back in the future.
It is hard to get everyone together as college- H.S. – breaks all differ and Mike is a teacher and his breaks are different.
But we found out the two oldest will play against each other in September as they did last year.
A trip up to Va. is in the future to watch them.
A very good day bonding and gathering on the beaches –
family time together –
The Myers from Lake Holiday, Va.
This has been the first time I have seen snakes in the backyard!
I knew they were around – I was sitting out here and saw my first one
about twenty feet away.
I am respectful of snakes as long as they keep their distance.
This one was coming through the grass straight at me!
When I got up and took a step toward it – it stopped and raised its head.
It was not afraid of me and just stayed where it was at.
I managed to get a picture of it and later identified it as non-poisnous
But it was long – and extensive around – a water snake someone said.
Now – we are in a drought and very dry.
The woods is where it came from and there is a pond about a quarter-mile away.
But no water back there.
I know snakes are in there but we do not go near them and always are watching and looking down.
Both snakes – as soon as I turned away – reversed their direction and very quickly went back into the woods.
Since then I have made sure the grass is cut low – they like long grass –
and we bought SNAKE-BE-GONE and MOTH BALLS!
I spread it all along the tree line – so far have not seen anymore.
But – our neighbors down the street – had a timber rattler in their yard that bit their dog!
They rushed it to the vet and was saved and took a picture of the snake,
So – we are careful when out in the yard or walking the streets and paths.
We are investigating other methods of snake control –
we have several species of dangerous snakes in this state.
I respect nature but also want to protect ourselves and our company.
It is all part of living in the south.
MY BLOG SITE: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog BACKYARD – SNAKE WATCHING fitztdf@aol.com
We decided at the spur of the moment to buy tickets – got great seats just to the right behind home plate
and take in a minor league ball game.
When we lived in NVA – we often went and saw the Nationals play in D.C.
Now – I normally do not watch baseball on TV unless it is my team I follow.
But – minor league to me is different – full of little games between innings.
The cold beer and peanuts – a slice of pizza or a hot dog.
But first, we stopped at Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach –
at one of our favorite places – CROOKED HAMMOCK!
This is a brand new brewery – perhaps opening a little over a year ago.
They sold beer out of a little RV trailer while consturction was going on to complete the brewery.
We like it here and stop in every so often – this time to buy a hat for our son-in-law
who requested one.
He had bought one when they visited us and wanted a new one.
So – we left early and stopped before the game.
Just a little time out and away from home – worth the money and a good time for a few hours.
Thanks for reading Papa’s World – my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog fitztdf@aol.com
I arise early – earlier than most – this perhaps is my favorite time of the day!
This is my vantage point – sitting sipping my cup of coffee – it is 6:00 am.
No one is out and about – we have a multitude of birds –
Purple Martins flying and diving about catching the bugs!
A crow chasing a squirrel across the lawn and then onto the street.
That I have never seen before.
The coffee is hot – I put the cup down – and a very large white bird flies across the sky – silence!
It is a quiet time except for nature – but also a time to reflect – a time to think.

These concerts are from top bands in the Carolinas – and are free to the public.
6:30 pm. to 8:30 pm.
The policy is against cans and bottles of alcohol
but as long as you have it poured into a plastic cup or another container- you are good to go.
These open-air concerts are also free every Wednesday night at Sunset Beach.
Both events draw large crowds of locals and tourists.
Just bring your chair and set it up – and then for two hours enjoy the music.

Today I write on the two younger granddaughters – having written about Maddy in a previous blog.
Ella – caring – always does what you ask with no questions.
Warm – friendly – my LITTLE TINY as I called her.
Sarah – outgoing – fashion – arts – glamor – Broadway – big cities.
My Whirlwind when she was little.
While she may be a little homesick – she is thriving at college.
Stable – understanding – polite – team – not an “I” in her vocabulary!
She is who she is – kind – smart – always giving – understanding and an idol to Bode as she is to many little ones.
Try as I might to keep them little once again – she has grown these last years –
soon to be 5′ 9″ and beyond like her grandmother Sherry – as is Ella.
” GO FORTH – THE WORLD IS YOURS” is what I think when I see Sarah.

Since we have moved to the border of S.C. and N.C. – we are 400 to 500 miles away from the family back in NVA!
We told them we were coming back for graduation and they made plans for a winery –
that we all could meet at for an afternoon including Marley – the Goldendoodle.
It seems like only yesterday they were running around – laughing – excited – little – little girls.
Sitting on the top of the stairs – waiting for their parents to get up on Christmas mornings.
The youth soccer games – then the travel teams – and for Sarah – dance – acting – animated.
Today – they are 21 – 18 and 15 – all about to leap forward another year older.
Maddy is a senior to be in college and Ella is a Sophomore to be in college.
Sarah is a Sophomore to be in H.S.
Maddy at 5’6″ is now the shortest – Ella is 5’10 and Sarah is almost as tall.
They take after their grandma’s Swedish heritage – Sherry is 5’9″.
Both Maddy and Ella play soccer and start on their college teams – Maddy will be one of the captains.
Sarah is a free spirit – funny – outgoing – and will run track.
The Myers girls – our oldest granddaughters.
Our little granddaughters are gone –
replaced now by beautiful young ladies.
Maddy has a major in Environmental Science
Ella is going to be an elementary PHYS ED TEACHER.
Sarah – who knows – she is a free spirit – a runner and dancer and acting.
She also is young and has many years left to decide.
Our family from Lake Holiday, Cross Junction – Winchester, Va.
Little girls have almost all grown up.

She is eleven years old in this picture – she is going to be very tall – as Sherry is 5′ 9″!
Everytime – she will reach for her hand – to hold as they walk.
Quiet – always does what you ask – sweet – caring – until she gets upset – then it is TAYLOR BEAR!
She is the one who takes care of the new puppy MARLEY –
She also loves to ride horses and takes lessons once a week for the last 4 or 5 years!
And then there is Bode – who adores Ella and when he watches her play –
you can hear him all over the stadium!
She is his idol – and he is following in her footsteps playing soccer.
And when it does – I hope Ella is there to see it and then Cheer him on!
