Well, once again we had a wonderful weekend. We started off with Friday night football at Ridgeland High School, it was homecoming and Mamie just had to go. In fact we went to the parade Thursday night and her school got the spirit award. She didn't know what that meant, but she seem to be excited about it. Well, Ridgeland was winning when we left at the top of 3rd quarter, I think it was 34 - 0........ I don't pay attention to the games, I like to look around and watch people. I am sure someone is watching me...................
About two months or so ago, I decided I wanted to start doing things for others. So I got with my friend Ann and asked her if she wanted to start a team to walk and raise money for the Breast Cancer Walk. Our goal was to raise $400.00, but we raised $700 and something. I can't remember the final count. I do know Saturday's walk raised $85,000.00, just for that walk. Ann's mother is a survivor, so we walked for her and in memory of my grandmother. We had fun walking it was me, Mamie, Cam, Ann, Michael, Peyton, Nana, Papa, Laurie, Kyle and their daughter Kaylee Grace. My Kyle and Nolan didn't go. Kyle said that Nolan played on the tennis courts the entire time and watched the Firetrucks that was there. We are already making plans for next year. We want to get as many people as we can to come out and walk with us.
The Ainsworth family made it Church for the first time in about a month!! After Church we went home and cook hotdogs on the grill and ate outside.
I just think back about Mamie wanting to go to the Ridgeland High School game and she is not even the age for all that. She is growing up right before my eyes. Then I remembering seeing all the young and older ladies at the Cancer walk that are survivors and they just seem to live life to the fullest. Which is something I need to do. Then on Sunday spending time with my family, which is something I enjoy to the fullest!!!
