From Where I Sit

Body
I first started Annaline in pageants to help her break out of her shyness. She is basically an only child since Mary-Kate and Carree are already married.

I was not prepared for the profound impact pageants would have on both our lives.

Football season is once again in high gear with kick off this weekend starting with high school, then college, and of course, the NFL. Athletes lay it on the line every week for their fans. I must admit that I am one of those diehard fans that will take in as many games as possible. There is so much extreme talent on display from the want to be extra ordinary high school players to the healthy paid professional NFL players. Make no mistake about it, the players take a lot of abuse with the physicality of the game.
