I went with my grandson and the fifth grade to the zoo. They were all very well behaved and fun to be with. It was hot but they did not complain to bad. The fifth graders that are in my class was my group to keep up with. We laughed and had fun especially on the safari ride. Where if one of the girls behind me had not warned me I would have been nipped by one of the Emus. They say they hurt so I was very thankful. I was feeding a big bison and was not paying attention.
The tigers are my favorite and they were beautiful. The monkeys went crazy with all the children making noise. The zoo keeper had to give one something to calm it down.
All in all it was a good day. I am proud of my good looking grandson and you can tell it in the pictures that I took.

I just have to say that I have never had anything affect me the way the Relay did Friday night. I do not know of anyone that has not been touched by cancer in some way. If they have not had it in their family they know of friends or co-workers who have fought the battle.
The survivor walk was touching, the care givers walk was too, when all the bags were lit around the football field and you saw HOPE spelled out on the bleachers and listened to the story that was read it was awesome, but when they turned off the lights and Jennifer Fortner led the walk with torch held high around the track there was nothing like it I have ever felt. There was so many babies and young children there till the idea that you could walk that long and never hear a sound unless it was a quite sob from someone in the crowd was mind boggling. Only God could keep that many people totally silent that long. Even if I did not have family, friends and church members that are fighting the fight it would have still touched my heart.
Everyone should attend at least one of these wonderful support walks. If God lets me I will go every year and be more active if I can.
I appreciated all that the committee members and team members had done to make it all possible. They put their hearts into it and helped to make it such a success. My thanks goes to all of them. Also to all the people that had a part in raising the money to help find a cure. Bless all of you.
To those of you that are fighting the battle with cancer of any kind remember that the battle is the Lord's and the victory will be yours. Pray for a cure every time you pray. God listens and keeps his promises.

I know that anyone who suffers from allergies or asthma or being lucky enough to have both like I do is sick and tired of runny noses, coughs, itching eyes, stuffed up noses and not being able to breath like normal. I wish they could find something that would really help and not make you right dopey when you take it. I feel so sorry for children that have it because it is bad enough on adults and I know it is hard on children.
People that do not have to deal with it look at you like you have the plague because you look and sound awful. I try to not go around anyone who has any serious conditions because I know they have to worry about taking something and I do not blame them.
Well enough about these nasty allergies. I just want to say to all of you that read this I hope you feel better soon. Hang on surely it will let up soon. I hope so with all my being.
