Winter Ball

I went to the Military Winter Formal Ball on the 26 Jan 09. It was held at the Golf Course Country Club under a covered outdoor pavillion ocean-side. It was a beautiful set up if a little warm for formal attire but fun was had by all attendee's. The girl's also had a Winter Formal Ball on 1 Feb 09. It was suppose to be held at the Yacht Club outdoor pavillion however the weather was not cooperative at all and they had to move it to the High School Auditorium. Rain and a outdoor formal not a good mix. I am sure they will have fun...anyway. There are suppose to be like 4 or 5 other girls coming over to change at my house. I'm gonna have fun or what! :-)

Helping Sick Turtle

I was asked if I would be interested in helping the Vet Tech. Seems we have a sick sea turtle and she needed help getting her in and out of the pond (They have 3 in a Memorial Park & Pond). I said sure and was told I needed two other folks to come and help lift the turtle out of the pond. So I volunteered me and my two daughters to meet them at noon on Sunday. We got out there and they said it was easy to tell which turtle was sick cause she floats at the top and doesn't submerge. This is a picture of her. It ended up being me, Alyssa and Nina as Beth wasn't feeling good and she had a babysitting job later so she stayed home. We got in the pond and had to physically lift her over the side of the pond so that the Vet Tech could give her an IV and some antibiotics. We helped with that then lifted her back into the pond. They still don't know what is the matter with her but we are keeping fingers crossed that this will fix it and she will get better.
