Yes, the student has now become the teacher. I only got 7th place with my chili and my beans only made 4th. Candy's chili got 13th and out of the group we were cooking with, only one other placed. It was a tough group we were cooking against but I think we made a great showing.
Saturday night I took some of the family and met the rest of them at the yearly Crawl Fish Boil a guy we know has every year. About three thousand folks showed up and like always, the food was amazing. It took a while, but I did get full.
We had a huge storm blow through Thursday night that caused a lot of damage. We spent Friday afternoon fixing all that and then it rained all day Sunday. We sure needed the rain and it was a good one. A lot of runoff came from it and should fill the lake up at least 6" or so.
I have one more picture I want to show. This just came to me today from my middle daughter Hannah.
This is the face of my grand baby, Rebecca. I cannot wait to pinch those little chubby cheeks. Only 1 1/2 more months to go.
This is truly amazing, I am blessed
Looks just like you!!!! lol!!

Thanks Kymber,
DeleteIn the past few days we have got about 2 1/2" of rain. Much needed but we still need more.
I plan to spoil that little girl, then send her home. Hannah is going to hate me when this is all done.
Congrats to all and God speed.
