A Visit to Maryland

Well, hello everyone!! Long time no post!! I hope that you are keeping warm this winter and if you were "fortunate" enough to get a bunch of snow this season, I hope that you survived it all and have successfully shoveled out.

A week after our pageant, Dad Bill and I paid a visit to Maryland for their Pageant and Supreme Visitation. We were joined by KC and Jessy, our new Misses, and their families. Also making the trip were Mom Pam, Dad Major and Colonel Bob.

I had the TOUGH job of being a judge at the Pageant. Each one of those girls were fabulous and it was so difficult to make a decision! But, at the end of the night Miss Kara Jordan was crowned the new Miss Job's Daughter! Amanda Crockett, the reigning Miss Congeniality of Maryland, had the pleasure of announcing her little sister Courtney as the new Miss Congeniality of Maryland!

Maryland is all about the food and the Holiday Ball after the pageant didn't disappoint! There was food, music, dancing . . . . and SANTA CLAUS!!! Yes, for a small fee you could have your picture taken with Santa!!

The next day was Maryland's Supreme Visitation with Mom Elaine and Dad Dave. Their meeting was held at the Grand Lodge of Maryland and if you've never been there, you need to visit. The building is one of the most gorgeous places I have ever seen. The Daughters of Maryland did a fantastic ritual meeting and some awards were given out for various contests.

If you haven't had the opportunity to visit Maryland . . .make plans! A visit is always a good time!!!

Peace out!

Flat Bill Takes a Vacation

After our pageant in Williamsburg, Flat Bill decided that he needed some time off. We're not sure who he paid off, but now he's in the great state of Delaware. He's attended the Supreme dinner in their jurisdiction and a host of other events! We have yet to see pictures of his great adventure, but I'm sure he'll be willing to share them with everyone once he returns.

Make sure you drop him a line on Facebook - let him know how much we miss seeing him in Virginia!
