November 10

Strangely enough, today I am thankful for Facebook!  My mother used to keep me informed of various things going on in my family, but sadly, she is no longer here to do that for me. Most things I know now, I find out on Facebook!  That in itself may sound sad, but I am thrilled that I live in this age of technology, where we can know things almost immediately!

This morning, I saw a post that informed me that my great niece was going to be in a pageant today. I was able to shower, get dressed, head that direction and arrive at our destination with time to spare!  (I bummed a ride with my niece, Shauna!)  Madison won the teen pageant, we speculated through the college-aged one (My sister-in-law, Jennifer, made notes), we took lots of pictures, and then we all went to eat afterward.  The day was filled with pride in Maddie's accomplishment (she was poised and so beautiful...we needed no speculation nor notes for that one!), much fun conversation, and many, many laughs!  If it hadn't been for Facebook, I would have missed out on all of that!
