I just wanted to share that my son won a film award for a small piece he entered about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. It was the Balitmore County PTA award. Now he was chosen to go to the state level.

The fun part was going to the award ceremony on Friday night and they showed his piece in front of 200 people on a big screen.

Don't you feel good when your kids are recognized for their passions?

Oh wow what an honor and how proud you must be. A definite yes to your question. I feel more pride when one of my children is honored than when I am. How old is he Dotsie? He must be very bright.

That's so wonderful Dotsie. Is this the son who was in Europe studying film when we met at Union Station last summer?

I can just imagine your pride. Aren't kids grand!

Dotsie,
How wonderful! I know you are smiling from ear to ear....when our children excel our hearts swell to the point of bursting, don't they?

Kudos to him! Now tell that young man to get busy and do a film on Boomer Women....tell him you just happen to know where he can find all the subjects he needs....k?

Thanks everyone for joining in the fun.

Smile, funny you remember that. But I recall he called us from Europe when we were having dinner. That son is a junior in college and was in Europe, but not studying film. He's a finance major...something we know nothing about.

This is one of our high school seniors who got interested in filmmaking in the sixth grade. He was a skateboarder and they are began filming one another while skating. Now he films and rarely skates.
