photo delivered to my door...

I went to the Santa Claus Parade last weekend to cheer on my granddaughter, Emme...
and had hoped to get a photo.
Of course!

At the moment she passed by...
my camera batteries died.
The picture was in my memory only!

What should arrive on my doorstep yesterday...
but a picture of the Vertical Zone skipping team in Saturday's parade...
featured on the front page of the local paper.


Emme is easy to spot...
front and centre with her foot above her head!
  
Thanks to Jenna Hauck...
I now have a photo!

  7. How fortunate for all, Judy! A wonderful keepsake for Emme as it is a thrill to be on the front page of a newspaper for something as nice as this!

  11. It's amazing how sometimes just the right people come into your life just at the right time and how much better when it's unexpected!
