Cheer Camp

Grace went to Cheer Camp last week and LOVED it. She now says she wants to cheer instead of dance, we'll see. This was day three, it was a off week, and I didn't get a picture on Monday and Tuesday.




She won the gold ribbon. When asked for what, she didnt have a clue, then later in the day, it came to her, she said she had the best attitude. That's my girl.

They called Grace, but NOT Grace Winge, you know she wasn't paying attention, and she wasn't leaving until they gave her, her certificate.


Here she is looking for us, she was never able to see us, but she knew we were there.



She was so EXCITED! and she loves her pom poms.

Look at my certificate, she has it backwards, and they all have one, but Grace wanted everyone to see it.

Fluffy Update

I woke up Tuesday morning only to discover that Fluffy wasn't looking too good. I took him to work with me and kept him on a heating pad. Needless to say the poor guy didnt make it. Poor Grace was so upset.

To top off matters, her father has now told her, she can have a pet rabbit. GREAT - gonna try and talk her into a kitten or him into a puppy. I do not like outside pets.

Meet Fluffy

As a child, I do not recall ever wanting a rabbit and certainly not as an adult. However, Grace has wanted one from the get go, and I'm pretty sure Paul Ray must have wanted one as well. Well I've managed to say NO up until this point.


While Paul Ray was doing yard work over the weekend, he came upon what he assumes was once a nest, with one dead baby bunny and one live. Well he fixed the nest as best as possible and set his camera up to see if the mother came back to feed the little guy.


Well she didn't and he survive by his self all night. He kept checking on him all day, ALL day, the bunny was hopping around, so we're pretty sure he would not have made it all alone, there are too many creatures in the wild.
I kept telling him lets just wait, because I don't know anything about taking care of a rabbit. Well he made me go out with him, I sat down put my hand out and called him and don't you know that rabbit came to me. So I'm assuming God decided we needed a rabbit.

So meet Fluffy,
Now will you say a little prayer that he survives the next week, in reading, they say, most die the first week.

The joys of living in the woods.

D's Gal Summer Reunion 2010

We hit the road at 630 Friday morning 06/24. Me, Grace and Ashlee Gail. I haven't seen these ladies since I left Captain D's in 2001 when they starting closing the Regional offices. There are a few ladies who keep in touch, so we finally planned a get together. There were four of us that traveled to TN to stay with Elaine. WE had a great time.


Really ASH, I'm gonna start a collection of you hiding your face!


There were lots of hugs to be given and even more pictures to be taken.

This was right after I got there. My dear friends were waiting outside by the drive way for us when we arrive. I told Ash, now look for the house, she says you think it might be that one down there with all the people waving!!! lol I wish I had taken a picture. These are the five of us who spend the weekend toghter. Linda, Lynn, Elaine, Me and Kim
One lady, Joan, had left before we thought to get a group picture. There are a few lady who still work there.
