The End of Upwards Basketball/Cheerleading & Another Relaxing Saturday

Tonight was the "awards" night for Upwards at the Church, Wynne Baptist. The cheerleaders performed their dance, it was pretty good. The basketball teams were all introduced, and there was great entertainment. At one point Mr. (I don't know how to spell his name) "Tooie" asked for some help from the crowd and he picked the preacher, (of Wynne Baptist) Bro. Matt Pearson. I think that the pictures below pretty much explains the trick... the trick....balancing 7 spinning balls....


Earlier today after the girls cheered early this morining with the smaller girls, we drove to Jonesboro and met Dianna, her sister-in-law Karen, Karen's daughter Amber and her baby Dillion for lunch. We ate at "Fat City" I had never been there. It was very reasonable and pretty good. This is a picture of all the girls, l to r: Taylor Butler, Shelby Moore, Mary Margaret Butler and Taylor Witcher. We had a great time with them all.....I love doing girly things like that. Its good to have "good" friends to hang out with.

I think that I'm going to get a little serious...I don't think that I realized until today what kind of person I really am....not tooting my own horn...but I think that I'm a good person. When I was growing up, (my version of what I remember) no one had to worry about the fact that I was going to miss curfew and no one had to worry that I was out drinking or doing drugs. I didn't stay out late....I came home when I was supposed to and never had to have any of those MIND BLOWING ARGUMENTS about the curfews, boys, etc. , that I hear about now from other people. I guess what I am trying to say is that no one kept a thumb on me, I just behaved. I saw an old friend today and it was pitiful, this person led the life of the partier, just very sad, this persons parents did not care or keep a thumb on her and this person took advantage and tried everything possible. There are some parents out there that do not realize their kids are good people...

As an adult, I work hard, I have a nice clean home, I am a Christian and attend church (when my job lets me) and have "fairly" well behaved kids...they all have their moments...I just hope and pray that they both choose the right paths....and keep their "good" friends close. I sincerely hope that they both remember that I am here when they need someone.......
