Penny's daycare had a Fall Festival this past Friday. A few of Penny's good friends came to celebrate with her (Verona, Dave and Sandy). The event kicked off with a children's parade which was so darn cute! Imagine 50 babies, toddlers and preschoolers in the cutest of cutest costumes! After the parade the children went into the schools backyard where there were a ton of activities set up for all the kids like pumpkin painting, tossing coconuts through donuts, touching opey goey grimy stuff, playing inside a tent full of balls, taking fun photos and much more! There was trick or treating (packets of animal crackers, pretzels and goldfish). There were yummy treats and a cookie decorating contest. Overall it was a really fun experience!
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
