Kansas City whirlwind trip for the win!!

Well, Audra flew me to Kansas for about 12 hours... and oh what fun we crammed in!

I went to the KC Royals Gala celebrating the 1985 and the 2015 wins! I sat at Ben Zobrist's table with his family and friends.  They were SO nice!

We got to see the trophies.. HUGE... I even got to try on a real ring!  Not sure I was supposed to do that buuuuut he handed it to me and I did it!




We took a few group shots but this is at the reception before...




Walking into dinner


Union Station was set so beautifully!


We got knock off rings at our table but it looks just like the real one and it's about as heavy!!


Lots of chatting on stage...


And Garth Brooks came and sang Happy Birthday to the "big guy on campus"

We had fun with a photo booth...

This was a video so screenshots were a little hard to get perfectly








We got back to the house, did a tour and passed out close to 1am.  This NEVER happens to me.. but I couldn't sleep.  Passed out at 2am and then back up at 3.  Oh what a trip!!!

Ben is a great guy, and even replied to me!  How's that for kindness!? Well unless that was John - bwahahahahahaha

Goodbye to Uncle Johnny

A 6am call is never "normal" and I knew something was wrong. My poor mama had to call and tell me that her brother, the patriarch of our family... my Uncle John was dying. Brain bleed. 911. Ambulance. Hospital. Aunt Jeanne. Can't go visit. Covid. Ventilator. I heard all of those words. None of them were sinking in. Too surreal. He was fine. Too heartbreaking, my Aunt just lost her sister TOO OVERWHELMING. I CAN'T GO BE WITH MY FAMILY. Then the call came that he was off of life support, and he died. My Uncle John, big burly Uncle Johnny... was gone. My Aunt Jeanne posted on Facebook. So I posted... then Auntie T... And then mom posted... and our hearts broke.  Just broke.   Every time we talk  - we just can't make sense of it. I know in time.. it will sink in.  He will not be there at the airport when I get home next trip. He won't be at Christmas or at the table eating sauce.  He's gone. BUT I WILL REMEMBER. I will tell the stories and I will keep him ali...

A shocking goodbye... Tracy Norris, there is no other like you

  Tracy is one of my favorite memories of my life in Charleston, my marriage to Rally, and my days learning how to be a woman. I learned how to pray, how to sing and how to be a woman of God. I learned how to be strong in my faith, and loving with my words. I learned how to act. I learned how to be a mom. They gave me a job and I learned all about helping people after disasters... I've always been told I always have a job at Disaster Plus.  I'm sure that's true. That's just who they are. I learned about Jesus.  She is probably the greatest factor in my early stages of my faith walk. Julia Ann, Keating, Tracy and Fred were always in my life.  Miles and miles away but there. Always. Until I opened Facebook to a photo Julia posted and I said "to of my faves"... only to scroll a few moments later and see that Tracy passed away. WHAT?  NO!? My brain was telling my heart this was true but my heart said NO. My mouth quickly followed, then tears. I texted a mutual fri...
