Here's a link to the story that Ashley was a part of yesterday! She is sitting at the feet of Frank...she's the one who turns her head to listen to him talk..in the group shot of all the kids!

Another little tidbit of information...Susan Weinroth's husband, Eric, works for the company that made Ashley's pacemaker....Medtronic! So a big honkin' huge THANKS to them for the technology to keep our kids alive and well!

Ashley
Yep...it's Tuesday! Today is the day my niece will be on the WCCO News. My sister told me at 6pm, but I checked the programming info on the website and it said at 10pm. So now I have to watch both. I sure hope I can stay awake that long! If you're interested, here's a link:
Ashley is sooo dang excited! Not only does she get to be on tv, but she gets to see the director of her camp and one of her favorite people, Sara! Oh yeah...while I'm on the topic...here's a link to Camp Odayin:
It's a Heart Camp...where the kids can go and be kids and not have to worry about the heart condition they have. Very cool...and they post pics for us every year! I think Ashley is in this year's brochure. My grandma said my mother grabbed a bunch yesterday at the Heart Clinic when she took Remmie up to his appointment!
A little bit of history on Ash. She's our miracle baby. She was born with Epstein's Anomaly. She spent the first 3 months of her life at Minneapolis Children's Hospital and has had numerous surgeries on her heart only to end up with a pacemaker. She's 17 now. They said she wouldn't live that long. They said she'd never walk either. "They" were wrong. She has surpassed all the goals they have set for her. And in the fall, she'll be a Junior at Faribault High School. Truly a miracle.
Enjoy your glory girl! You've worked hard for it!

Busy
Well another busy weekend. I'll be glad when I can relax a bit on my weekends off.
Last night they kicked off the Waterville Bullhead Days with the Queen's Pageant. Tonight I think we will walk over to the carnival on Main Street and at least check it out. After supper of course. I'm not spending anymore money than I have to. The kids might get to go on one ride. Of course I will be tired after work...I'll be like the Little Engine That Could....I think I can...I think I can.
Last weekend they had all the carnival rides parked across the street at the school parking lot. I was scared that it was going to be right there! All I could think about was the noise and the litter in my yard....ugh! I'm so happy that it's not in my front yard!
Tomorrow...is Grandma's birthday party! It's at Keystone...from 1-5. We'll go for probably the whole thing and I'll take pictures of everyone. My mom invited her cousins...so it should be a hoot! A bunch of Iowegians with sick senses of humor for sure! Too much fun almost!
I think I'll designate Sunday as "Clean the house Day" and try to tackle another project. This time it will be the entertainment center. I need to dust and organize it. Usually I have a candle shrine on it...not sure though if I will do that this time. I still have dolphin knick knacks to unpack. Maybe I will put all my snowglobes up there...I dunno yet. More purging for sure. I just don't have the space I used to have...and there's wayyyy to much stuff in this tiny house!
After that...then it's my scrap stuff...if there's time. That's an all day project in itself. I really need to go through my patterned papers though. I have tons that I probably will never use. I think I will write down and sketch out my ideas for my papers too...then I can go back and do the layouts later. Ahh...the fun of it! Then maybe next weekend I can scrap...oh wait...I have a birthday party next weekend too! Maybe I need to take a vacation day soon. I only have 5 so I don't want to burn them up so early in the year! I'll have to check on that one. Which reminds me...I need to order a cake!
Have a great Friday...and like Torm says...Be Good!
