We had an XXXtra Large Time!!!!!!
FB and I supply a place, and cook some grub......
But All You Fine Folks that come..... Make the Party!!!!!!!!!!
And we get ta hang out with some of the Best folks around!!!!! Seeing friends, kickin' tires, tellin' lies...LOL.. WoooHooo!!!!!!
Best count with some late arrivals was just over 200.
I would have never believed that I would outgrow my BBQ pit.... but we did have to bring in another this year to cook all the meat!!! LOL
We want to thank you ALL for your open hearts and generosity.
Y'all raised $ 3816 for the Texas Lions Camp for disabled Children.!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!
FB and I are going to follow Y'all's lead, and round it off to $4000...That sounds like a good round number.
Now here is what it's ALL about:
Sarah, the young girl that drew the 50/50 ticket at the Gatherin', has a hearing disability and pulmonary issues.... we are very lucky she is even with us today....Her activities are limited.
She is not able to do the things her sisters do. We have been working to get her to the Texas Lions Camp. Her parents had not told her of this, waiting on a sign off from her Doctors.... they didn't want her to be disappointed if unable to go.
When Sarah got home she was asking what all the deal was with the money.... her folks told her that it was to support the Camp, and that she was going to go this Summer.
Sarah said:"I get to go to camp?"
Then she clasped her little hands to her chest and said "I'm so glad I have this"
Thank You ALL for making a difference.
gotta stop... the gnats in my eyes have my screen all fuzzy.

A big WOOHOO for Sarah going to camp. That really warms the heart and lifts the spirit.
Can't add anything to what others have said about hearts the size of Texas that exist in the Baker household. I'm just very honored and thankful to know both of you.
