We had some great fun at my husband's company picnic at Lake Bowen. Gracie got introduced to the world of motorcyles by one of my husbands managers.

Daughter Gracie tries out her new ride at American Storage Annual Meeting Lake Bowen
Apathy got to fight it!
One stop shopping for Greenville County voters.
Yet few took advantage of the opportunity.
At first I thought it might be pretty overwhelming too. Not the number one place I wanted to be on a sunny Saturday.
But I must say I have found it to be very eye opening. And very important to truly learning where the candidates stand on the issues.
We have problems on the local scene. Traffic congestion. Gangs. Jobs. Education.
They can't change if people don't pay attention and get involved.
We spent a week asking for questions for the candidates. We got one. One question sent in. That's it.
I urge you to get informed pay attention and vote!

Blown Away by BMW Celebrity Pro Am
During the BMW Charity Pro Am they launched a new ad, to show off the upstate. The slogan- I was blown away. And I was blown away.. by the tournament! Those of us who live down at Carolina Country Club, were so proud that the community embraced the tournament in such a big way. Here are some celebrity pics!

What a life!
Don't you sometimes wish you were young again. Carefree again.
You know when you'd head out into the real world in your nightgown and high heels to play ball!
My four year old Gracie reminded me of that stress free world this morning when she headed into the garage without a worry.
That's what is one of the best parts of being a mommy.
It keeps you in touch with some of the best parts of yourself!

My little Kidcaster
You can't blame them.
The children see the ads on Channel 7 and 62 asking for your Kidcaster entries.
It's their chance to show they can do the weather and earn an appearance with Dan Bickford on the Daybreak show one Friday morning in May.
I am guessing parents are experiencing what I am, at my house. Little ones tugging on your pant leg saying, "Mommy get the camera."
What you are about to see is the result of that tug at my house from my just turned 4 year old Gracie.
She can't enter... but I couldn't deny her the audition!
Hope you are all having loads of fun with the kidcaster contest.
Good luck!
