OK, I'm cheating tonight. I don't feel that badly about it either. LOL We attended the Relay for Life last night held at the Naval Hospital. It was a great time, but we never went to sleep! LOL
I made a promise to someone that I would walk 60 laps around the track for Grandma. Eric picked up the challenge with me. So we walked and sold hot dogs for what seemed an eternity! Bottom line, I kept my word, Eric and I walked our 60 laps in honor of Grandma. By the way, thats 15 miles, not bad for an evening walk! LOL

I have to say, I'm very thankful Eric was with me. We had the best time. He kept me laughing all the way around the track and gave me encouragement when I needed it. We got home about quarter till seven this morning. He made sure I was ok after developing heat exhaustion at the relay, and off to work he went. No sleep at all! So if he falls asleep in church tomorrow...just nudge him gently. LOL The lady in red is Aunt Jo. She died of cancer 7 years ago. One day ya'll, one day there will be a cure. I know it. Well, either that or Christ is coming. I'll take the latter if I had to choose. LOL

I'm with Judy, photographs can be so deceiving! LOL
What you can't see in this pic is that he was just kissing her on the cheek and she is pinching him under the water!

What a Day!

Well girls, today was interesting. So interesting in fact, I had to pull over in downtown Charleston and have a complete and total meltdown. First off, Catie will be alright. She will definately be having surgery involving some yucky stuff and bone grafting. I am more at peace with it now, knowing for certain that this is NOT a cancerous tumor. I cannot express in words how thankful I am for the prayers she has received. We don't know exactly the day, but she will be having her surgery very soon. The surgeon wants us to be incredibly careful with her arm due to her having almost paper thin bone. All I can think is, well great, this will be the time she ends up breaking the darn thing! All the mom's know this is true! Murphy's law! He said absolutely no cheerleading until after surgery. Oh yeah, thats gonna go over well. Like the Hindenberg! We don't know if physical therapy will be involved yet, we'll be finding out very soon!


Driving out of Charleston I wanted to get the day off my mind a bit. So Pooh and I stopped for dinner in honor of our misplaced buds. It's been an incredibly long day and this helped me relax a bit. So Jame, these are for you. I wish you could have been with us.
Don't take Catie with you if you want to eat your onion ring! Little brat! We finished the day with a stop in the 'boro. Everyone on this blog knows this place I'm sure. Pooh deserved an ice cream, and enjoyed every bit of it.
Her big sister in the background was enjoying her chocolate shake!
Her t-shirt says Carolina Princess...Shelby told her it SHOULD say "Carolina Dictator" LMAO!

Go Beaufort!

Can we get a "WOOHOO"? The Beaufort Allstars schillacked Ridgeland tonight 14 to 3! The girls are on cloud nine, so are the parents! ~grin~ They play Walterboro tomorrow at 6.

The Shelb got a run and did some stealin! Her second time up to bat she stole all the way home!

Poppie's words of wisdom must have worked! The pics have beautiful subjects but they were taken with my phone so they kinda stink. Eric says, "actually the girls stunk! after the game of course!"

I have a very short post tonight. We're back from Walterboro and the Allstar game that didn't have such a great outcome, for Beaufort anyway. LOL Turns out, the 3rd baseman broke her collar bone on Saturday. I think it threw the girls off a little. Beyond that, it was just goofy mistakes. Oh well, I wouldn't be able to do any better! I think they did pretty good! We have an 8 o'clock game tomorrow in the 'boro as well.
Oh yeah! They charge $3 for the adults to get into the game! I was thinkin'...geeze we're around $250.00 for this season already! Cut me some slack good buddy! LOL Maybe they're trying to buy a scoreboard with the money! It would help to have a scoreboard! LOL


Tired girl!

Sheldon Card Sharks

Saturday night was card night at the fire house. Here we have our 1st place participant with his winnings. A certain commissioner seems to feel it was rigged. LOL I say, there have to be some type of tiny perks that come with being married to the head of the Ladies Auxiliary! ~smiles~ How do ya like that smirk? Yep, he's rotten!
Now here...our lovely model displays a fine deck of cards. He had to get some thrill out of the night, he was the first one out of the game! LOL
Ahh yes, and here he is proudly displaying the pink dealer's button. Give him a hand ladies, our lovely model! Amy these are for you. LOL

Do you still love me?

I am about to let you in on a little nerdy secret of mine. I LOVE Celtic music! Not to mention the history, the Highland Games, the dancing....I'm sure you get the point. I even learned how to draw celtic knotwork (it takes a looooong time if you do it right!) LOL I'm definately a Carolina girl, but if there was one place on Earth I could go I'd be hopping the next flight to Ireland! These pictures are from the Celtic Music concert at the waterfront this week. They were so good! Another interesting point, they are all active duty Air Force. Very cool.

This is my fourth daughter Leslie. LOL She's always with us, a real sweetheart! I don't mind a bit claiming her. So now you all know. Do ya still love me??? A nerdy Carolina girl that would loooove to go to Ireland? LOL
