It's Over

The Saddle Up is over. It rained, it poured, the wind blew and there was some lightening. Gas was high, people were tighter with their money. But. . . . We had over 125 riders, we raised $677 with the quilt auction, and raised over $20,000 for the kids at St. Jude's. Not a bad day!!! I'm home, in my robe and nearly frozen. But I feel so good about what we were able to do. It's a big charity event for our whole family, and although everyone is tired, it's a good tired. DD Mary and her famiy won the jar quilt. DD Kristin and her family won the cowboy boot quilt. It was the first year I've ever taken chances on my own quilts, but I won nothing. My twins have never won a Saddle Up quilt, so I think that may be my next project. They work harder for this event than any of the rest of our family and I want them to have something special. Bye for now. Linda
