October 1: I spent a wonderful day in Hodgenville with my family at Lincoln Days. I was also the guest of honor at a reception for me :) at MAM Candy. Thank you to Linda Lindsey for putting it on. The treats were delicious!! Also, thank you for getting me probably the best ride in the parade. A beautiful horse drawn carriage. I had so much fun with everyone taking pictures and signing autographs.

October 4: My family and I took our yearly trip to Vanderbuilt for my son's check up and to visit the Ronald McDonald house. Boy, did we have a lot of pop tabs to deliver this year. I always enjoy the look on the womens faces that work their when we bring them in. I also love seeing my son's face light up when they make over him for helping others and giving back. I encourage everyone to help out in their communities and give back in some way.

I would like to invite everyone to come to this years crowning of Mrs. Kentucky 2012. It is on October 8, at The Oldham County Arts Center in Crestwood, Ky. The doors open at 4pm and the pageant starts at 5:30pm.

Thank you Kentucky for and INCREDIBLE year!!!!!! ;)
