Well yesterday afternoon they finally started working on our road - when they left it yesterday it wasn't near done and it felt like a roller coaster - I can't imagine what they are doing! Still beautiful this time of year in Georgia.
Picked my grandson up from school which I do every day - today was early release - two hours early so the teachers could take a class. We went to Waffle House for lunch and sat at the counter. Looked at a Lego book - he picked his top three choices. We picked out 6 songs for a dollar on the juke box and just had fun. Went home and played Legos for awhile until time to go to the next thing.
Later on we went to church - we're called the Pumpkin Church as our church was first in our area to sell pumpkins - 29+ years ago. It is a tradition for us.
This year is the first year he really cared about 'his' pumpkin. He talked my daughter and I into the biggest one there - $18. He was sad at first when mom said no.
This is the churches second truck load of pumpkins!
He's seeing whose taller. . .
Traditions are important things or at least good memories to have to look back on some day.
Role Models - a very powerful video:

Another important issue for this month - Abuse Awareness - did you see Oprah last week - she had McKenzie Phillips on it - this girl got such a bad wrap for years - you can tell in her face the pain she has gone through. What a role model for abused women - and how it has helped many women 'come out' and talk about their abuse. Finally . . .

Happy birthday Annette Funicello - I loved you on the Mickey Mouse Show and talking about role models - I think you were such a great one -
Funicello announced in 1992 that she suffers from multiple sclerosis. She had kept her condition a secret for many years, but felt it necessary to go public to combat rumors that her impaired carriage was the result of alcoholism. That same year, she was inducted as a Disney Legend. In 1993, she opened the Annette Funicello Fund for Neurological Disorders at the California Community Foundation.
Who is your favorite role model? I like Jimmy Stewart for one.
Love,
Chatty
