Election Day, Ashley's Visit Home, Courtney's Trip to GCGMA's

OK...so I'm a day late posting all this, but I needed time to capture my voting moment AT the polls...yes, I actually took a pic of me VOTING! THAT'S where I JUST MASHED MCCAIN!  HAAAAAYa'll KNOW I take my camera everywhere so I can capture the moment...so I snuck it into the voting booth and snapped away as I voted!  heeeeee YES, I'm dedicated!
Notice the green check mark beside John McCain's name!  WOO-HOOOOOOO! Buddy (my political advisor/dog) advised me to vote for Ralph Nader, but I ain't ever heard of him...or any of the other's except Obama, and I ain't voting for him!  So, Buddy is pouting, but he'll get over it...he'll perk up at supper time! hee
OK...so first, Mom was in the hospital.  YES, I do have a picture of her in the bed, but she would KILL me if I put it on here, so I won't.  She was pretty sick too, so you can imAGINE how she looked!  hee!!  She's better now, even tho she still isn't sure what was wrong with her.  She was in the hospital for 7 days and was VERY ready to get home.
The same day she went into the hospital, Ashley came home! Ya'll, she looked SOOOOO good to all of us.  I can speak for everyone when I say that we missed her so much.
This was a pic she took of her new haircutShe looks so much like her Mama!  BAH-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
This was a pic I took of us at Verizon waiting for her to get her phone fixed...Britt even went with us!!!!! WHA!!
Saturday night, we all (minus my parents due to Mom still being in the hospital) went to the Tadpole for supper...Ashley picked the restaurant!I choreographed this pic...notice how they are taking a bite at the same time!?! Yes, I astound my own self!! 
I also managed to bake a ton of cookies and cupcakes for her to take back to her boat for her to share.  Before I knew it, it was time to drive her back to her meeting place to catch her ride back up to Virginia.  
I fixed her up a Christmas box to take back with her to be opened on Christmas day...it's full of wrapped presents.  I wanted her to have something to open on Christmas day.  
Mikes Mother did the same thing, but she copied my idea so don't ya'll be thinking she came up with that, it was ME!
OK...so then it was time to get ready for Courts trip to the GCGMA award show, WHERE she won entertainer of the year for traditional country music!  WOO-HOOOOAAAA!Mike captured this moment fo us to see.  I had to work, so was unable to attend.
Court had a lot of friends there she saw...here is one girl, but I don't know her nameHere is a pic of the girls fooling around before Ashley went back.  After Ashley got back to her boat, she took pics OF her boat...actually the female berthing area..I'm THINKING she said her "rack" is the bottom left...which would explain the pink stuffed animal!  This is a pic of the other side of the room.  VERY small!!!! 
This pic is of their bathroom...mama's always like to know where their babies go potty, shower and brush their teeth!
This next pic is of the girls locker room.  
This pic is of some of them doing something...not sure!That's about all I have for now!  OH...we have a new addition to our family...actuall, it's Britt's boyfriends new puppy!  Harley, a miniture Dachshound.  I don't have any pics of him yet, but I will put them on here on my next posting!
Love to all-
Joan and Herd
