Super "Gracie" Saturday!

Gracie, aka the Energizer Bunny, just amazes me. She had one of the best swim meets of her life on Saturday! It always helps when you swim at your home pool, but I attribute it to her hard work and dedication to the sport, year round. She attributes Saturday's performance to 2 blueberry donuts and orange Fanta. She dropped time in 4 of 5 events, and swam the 50 butterfly for the first time in competition. She got 5th overall in the 50 back for her age group and 2nd overall in the 50 breast for her age group, awarding 11 points for the AquaKids in the team standings. Super job, Gray! We swim again in Fayetteville in 2 weeks.

Sunday was spent in the yard. I mowed while Pete planted. We yanked out a sad crepe myrtle from the right side of our front yard bed and I finally got a Japanese Maple - I have been wanting one for a long time, since we left my other one at the Irby house. Looks good.

As long as the rain holds off, the week holds 4 ball games...D
