We have all been sick and I am way behind on everything…….So this Week’s Wordless Wednesday is just a few random pictures. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

I know you are probably getting sick of my Wordless Wednesdays containing my daughter’s art work but everyday I am more amazed by her talent! A few days ago, I asked her to draw me a cartoon character because, to tell you the truth, I was getting sick of seeing her draw wolves all the time. She doesn’t let anyone watch her draw, so I stepped into the next room. She drew her drawing but then she crumpled it up and tried to throw it away. I ,of course, dug it out of the trash when she wasn’t looking and this is what I saw:

I did not scan these into the computer…I just took pictures of them with my phone.

This week’s Wordless Wednesday is in regard to our Disney trip I won from The Rainforest Cafe Photo Contest. I won 2nd place which was supposed to be a trip to San Antonio, Texas. I was shooting for 1st place which was a trip to Disney World. Upon learning that I won 2nd place, I told the PR manager that I was not able to accept the prize because my daughter has Autism and will not get on a plane. I told her the whole reason I was in the contest was to win either the Disney trip or 3rd place which was a $500 American Express gift card. Figures I would win the one prize I was not able to accept, LOL.  Anyway, the PR Manager at the Rainforest Cafe was awesome and she changed my prize to a Disney Trip!!! We ended up going in Oct and had a blast!! I do go to Disney quite often so it was nice to be able to go for free! We stayed for five nights at the Doubletree located at Downtown Disney. We received $200 in Food vouchers from the Rainforest cafe and T-Rex. We also got 16 one day park hopper tickets!!  It was truly magical ºoº

A big Thank You to the PR Manager at The Rainforest Cafe for changing plans and giving my family and I such a wonderful trip!!

I would also like to thank everyone who voted for me in the contest and for putting up with all my tweets, posts, and emails reminding you to vote….but it all paid off in the end!

My oldest son and his family were visiting from Kentucky so……

I was able to take my oldest son, Kyle, along with his wife, Tiffany, and baby boy, Layne. Also, my two youngest children, Alex and Kelsey!

Here’s a few photos from our trip:

I joined Ancestry.com and today I have been researching some things. Tonight I found this portrait of my Great,Great,Great Grandmother, Sarah (Sallie) Walker Miller. This is so much fun….I think I am hooked!!

By the way, I wanted to thank you all for voting for me in the Rainforest Cafe Photo Contest….I won a trip to Disney World!!! ºoº
