FLAGPOLE

I KNOW THIS ACTUALLY DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SCHOLARSHIP BUT IT STILL KINDA DOES.  FOR YEARS I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO DO SOMETHING IN HONOR OF BERT AT CAMP VICTORY. WHILE AT CAMP COURAGE THIS PAST MAY IT FINALLY CAME TO ME AS I LOOKED AT THE FLAGPOLE.  NOTHING BUT GRASS AROUND IT AND LOOKED RATHER DRAB.  I THREW OUT THE IDEA OF LANDSCAPING THE FLAGPOLE TO JAMIE AND SHE LOVED THE IDEA. YESTERDAY I WENT OVER TO MILLVILLE AND THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED.   I WILL PUT BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES IN THE FOLDER.  THIS NOT ONLY HONORS BERT BUT WITH IT BEING AT THE FLAGPOLE AND BUYING THE FLAG EVERY YEAR IT WILL ALSO HONOR OUR VETS AND THOSE STILL SERVING. 

FISHING WITH MARK

THE BANQUET WAS LAST NIGHT AND MAYBE THE BEST BANQUET EVER. FOOD WAS WONDERFUL AS USUAL AND LOTS OF OLD FRIENDS. MADE SURE TO GIVE A THANKYOU TO THE 7 KIDS THAT HELPED US TO MOVE. STILL CAN'T GET OVER HOW HARD THEY WORKED AND CAN NEVER TRULY REPAY THEM FOR HELPING US OUT.
THIS YEARS WINNER , ALLIE BRININGER , IS ONE I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT.

MOVING

WELL...THIS ISN'T EXACTLY ABOUT THE SCHOLARSHIP BUT IN AN ODD WAY IT IS. BINK AND I MOVED THIS WEEK AND WITH CLOSING ON A WEDNESDAY IT MADE FOR AN INTERESTING MOVE. HAD NO IDEA WHO WE COULD GET TO HELP US GET FROM NORRY TO LEWISBURG AND THEN ONE DAY IT HIT ME...SCHOOL KIDS ARE OUT FOR THE HOLIDAYS. SO I CALLED THE AG SHOP AND TALKED TO LINDSAY AND WONDERED IF WE COULD GET SOME HELPERS AND OF COURSE I WOULD PAY THEM. WEDNESDAY ROLLS AROUND AND WE HAD 7 FFA KIDS AT OUR DOOR AND NO WAY WE COULD HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT THEM.
A PICTURE OF THE MOVING GANG IS IN THE PHOTO ALBUM.
