The Cherokee Indians scrimmaged Priddy at their home stadium Friday night. A Belton team also came to scrimmage, but due to an equipment glitch, they didn’t get to play. I was so happy to open the cafe up for 5th quarter. The team made me very proud when they treated the Belton boys to pizza and drinks.

I traveled to New Jersey last week to visit a couple of friends that I made in Scotland in 2019.
While there, we went to the National Independence Park. We toured Independence Hall where the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were debated and signed. I also saw the Liberty Bell and the site where George Washington’s house once stood.
We ate pastries at Carlo’s Bakery which was featured on Cake Boss. We also went and walked on the boardwalk and the beach at the Jersey shore.
