What It Means to Me

It's the day before Blue Ridge.  I really thought we were more prepared than this!  But we've cleaned, scrubbed, packed and loaded.  The last load of laundry is in the dryer and Jeff's on his way home to start his vacation a little early.  But believe it or not, we still have a ton to do.

So since we'll be up all night getting our last stuff together, I thought I would share how we spent last night.  As everyone knows, Will won the "What Memorial Day Means to Me" essay contest for the Village of Maineville. Against his will, he was required to attend the Councel Meeting to read his essay and shake hands with the Mayor.  Don't let him fool you, he did great!  It was a touching essay with a little "fluff" as Will calls it.  For everyone that couldn't be here to see him, here it is....

And let me tell you...a few minutes of uncomfortable certainly paid off for Will.  When he was done shaking hands with the Counsel, he was presented with a gift basket that included gift certificates for Itunes, McDonalds, LaRosas, Laser Tag, Blockbuster and more.  Not bad for an hours worth of work and a few minutes reading it out loud.
