The National League asked each local league to do something to commemorate September 11. We wanted something endorsing the ideas of community service, communication and volunteerism.

It was an awesome match.

It was an awesome match. The girls played at a great level and I couldn't be prouder in our first match of the season. They fought every step of the way.

For as far back as I can remember, me, Boo Boo and Babe have dressed up to come to the festival. This is a highlight event for us each year.

We're going to go home and plant more roses now. This is all just beautiful.

We were going to leave anyway because I've learned from just watching the movie called 'Twister' you don't play with these hurricanes, you pack up and head out.

And in addition to that, they were going to pick me up in about an hour and take me to church, and I think that's excellent.

It makes you see what you take for granted.

For the most part, we just pretty much grabbed our clothes and the dog and came on down. We didn't grab a lot of stuff.
