Paradise Thursday, July 15

  The highlights of today were Ju Ju the clown coming and the annual Paradise Talent show!!

Ju Ju the clown made a special appearance and the kids were more then excited to see her. Since she had no electricity at her house there was a change of plans...she got dress at Paradise!! I never knew all the "rules" there were about being a clown--it was so neat to watch each step of the process of transforming into a white face clown. I couldn't believe how quiet and still the kids were watching her transformation--they were in awe!!

where divorce is more common than marriage, I think it's a testament to all that love, faith, and family: 10 kids, 25 grand kids and 22 grand kids (and counting!) can truly result in happily ever after!!! Thank you for being such a constant, great example!! I Love You!!
