Next up on the Thank You πŸ™ List is my definition of a Role Model and her Father πŸ‘¨. Proud to know them and to have them as Neighbors !!!

Tiffanie and Tracy Moore – I know that our Dancing πŸ’ƒ skit was captured on Video πŸ“Ή and it would be an Answered Prayer if someone πŸ™ recorded the Speech that Tiff gave yesterday afternoon.

Β  The only thing that was not scripted throughout the day was handing my microphone over to Tracy Moore. Having spent an afternoon at their 🏑 in downtown Dugspur, I knew that he would be as equally elegant as his tough as πŸ’…πŸ’…πŸ’… Kiddo.

I truly feel Blessed to know this Father & Daughter !!!

‘Da Plane Boss, ‘Da Plane, Lin’s 2nd Flight ✈️ is in the Air now but I have time for another Thank You – Angie Beamer & Madison’s Momma both tugged at my Heart ❀ yesterday by their random acts of Kindness.

Not once but twice yesterday afternoon a Woman in the crowd made a choice to put others before themselves.

First, Angie Beamer won πŸ† the drawing for the $100.00 Amazon Gift 🎁 Card and offered it back so that another person could have the opportunity to win the prize !

Not long afterwards, Gabby Coleman won the 50-50 drawing being held by Travis Leath and his travel Softball team. The kitty 😺 was $424.00 so Mrs Coleman was going home 🏑 with $212.00 but No, Not really. Mrs C let Travis keep her half.

There are enough people in this struggle with us and here are two more tremendous examples !

I will close this one with a joke at my own expense. Once I had put all my Props back in the Car πŸš—., roughly 3:45, I went in search of Travis Osborne and Nikki Heflin down at Patrick Henry High School 🏫. It wasn’t until I started to get out of the Car that I noticed that I smelled a bit like someone who had been working hard outdoors all day.

This wasn’t going to keep me from going inside, just wasn’t going to sit next to someone who I might could offend. Brother Osborne came down and sat next to me and I felt obligated to apologize. Travis laughed 🀣 and said he worked outside for a living so he could relate.

Fast Forward to the next stop βœ‹which was a television πŸ“Ί to watch my beloved Duke University Football team play Tulane. The place I found was one where people were smoking 🚬.

Then I realized that a Hotel 🏨 room that was available was over $500.00 + Tax so I spent the past nine hours hanging around the Tri-Cities Airport.

I now look like a homeless person and smell of a mixture of outdoors and Smoke. When Booogz gets off the plane here in a few minutes, I will hope for the best ! If she gives me grief, I will say, you should be more like Travis Osborne !!

  Trying hard to create a balance between Serious and Slapstick throughout the 210 minutes is a greater challenge than one might think.

Everything that falls under Respect simply had to be treated with the proper care. Things that are on that list is God, Family πŸ‘ͺ, Country, Community and Education.

Having Alvin Davidson speak was as easy of a decision as there was in the entire process. His combination of Eligence and Intelligence βž• his ties to Cavalier Park = Winning.

Tammy Quesenberry gets the credit for securing our new Superintendent for the event and once we had him it was my job to make sure that he would be properly introduced. Alvin checked a great deal of boxes for me yesterday.

Mr Huff is being pulled in many, many directions as he starts his new position and I wanted my opportunity to show him that he has my unconditional support. Not sure what value that has to him or the office but it was the right thing to do.

Gracious, Gracious Man πŸ‘¨πŸ™!

Last bu not least, Mr DeHaven. Having Kevin there meant a great deal to me because when you are chasing Inclusion, it helps to Include everyone who has an interest in participating !

The Day was a greater Day because of this trio of Leaders….

Note πŸ“ – Bonus points to Mr Huff for remembering that we first met just over three years ago..

Nothing but Love & Support for our Principal, today and everyday ❀…
