Congrats, Haley! Nice way of connecting writing to swmming. And I just love your drawings!😍

Also, nice to see a fellow North Carolinian here!😉 I'm from Winston-Salem.

Oh really?! That means we were probably born in the same hospital.😅 It IS a small world!

You are such an inspiration! I love that your family joined in too! Have fun in your hometown! Hard work is made a little easier when it's shared with others. Well done!!!

I feel very very lucky that my girls (women) still like to spend time with me! We had a wonderful vacation together!

Thanks for the reminder that no skill and achievement comes without all the work and bumps and lumps along the way. Congratulations on both your successes. I can't imagine getting all my family to agree on one goal we'd all do together as a family when I was your age. So celebrate that too!
