Just moments before our guests arrive ...

As Jenn prepares for her first half-time performance with the color guard in full dress, her sister and her husband are on their way to the game to watch the show. This will be a busy weekend and already I'm bushed. There is still a lot to do in order to volunteer at the school during the band classic tomorrow. Lisa has baked cookies and I'll be making chili for hamburgers, hot dogs and chili cheese fries (6 lbs of "Southern Style" chili). I'm glad that Lisa and Steve will get to see Jenn's performance as she is really excited. "Mr.D" and I can hardly wait to see her tomorrow, she's been practicing really hard and I have every confidence that she will be wonderful! Bias? No, not me, never! ;)

Introducing ... Lil' Rock

On October 8, 2006 my youngest daughter found a lost little kitten under the church where she was attending services with her best friend. He was crying, his right eye infected with "pink eye" and he was just about eight weeks old. He wasn't underweight and looked as though he had somehow escaped from a nearby house. When I asked my daughter about the kitten, she said the children next door had come by and told her it was their kitten but that she could have him if she could get him to come out from under the church. Well, as you can see, she managed to get him out and here he is, now six months old ... affectionately known as Lil' Man. He has an uncanny resemblance to our beloved Rocky.
