cow girls ;)

Well, here we are at the CFA First 100 in Smyrna Blogging away on my old laptop - NICE! The weather is great -- so far... Will post some pics later, I think. We got here at like a little after 6 a.m. [left the house around 5] and we are numbers 14, 15, and 16. Right now the girls are playing Scrabble and I am getting ready to get some work done, thanks to my running partner's CPA, who let us borrow his SPRINT wireless card.

OK, so now the Chick-fil-A FREE WIFI is up and running, took them a while but it's working now and fast - GREAT! They came around and gave us all cow fans -- thus the "cow girls" picture.

About 10:00 or so they passed out lemon pie, brownies, cheesecake, and chicken biscuits. The first campout that we've been to where they've served the sweets. At noon it was CFA sandwiches.

The afternoon passed slowly. The heat wasn't too bad, there was a nice breeze most of the time and we had a table with an umbrella which fortunately we brought from home. Usually, the tables have umbrellas but the ones for this CFA have not come in. SO glad we brought one from home -- the old "craft show" umbrella.

For dinner it was a nice bag dinner with a fresh, HOT CFA, chips, and a brownie -- NICE!

It's almost 10:00 p.m. and they are about to serve nuggets and play the movie Facing the Giants. At midnight they will serve ice cream with all the toppings. We've already seen the movie but if the girls want to stay up I'll stay up with them and surf and Blog while they watch. The ice cream is not worth staying up for. They have to serve so much at one time that the only practical way they can do it is to prep it ahead and put it in the freezer -- HARD Ice Dream -- not a good thing.

It's 5:00 a.m. [or a little there after] and we just got our wake up call. The bathrooms are only 1 stallers, so, the line is incredibly lllllllllooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggg.... We can't break down our tents because the TV station [don't know which one] is on its way. Hopefully, about 6:00 or 6:30 they'll walk us through, give us the goodies and we'll be on our way... They do have coffee out. Guess they want us to be awake :O That's me yawning.
