I just came back from what always proves to be the best week of my year (although this year I seem to have had a few of those...): Volunteer Girls State. What is it, you might ask? It's very difficult to explain, but I'll try! Basically, it is a camp program where 540 upcoming high school senior girls from Tennessee come to learn about citizenship, government, and themselves. It is sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. I was a delegate to VGS in 2003 and have returned to be a counselor ever since.
Those are the wonderful women of Taylor City (the Taylor Sailors, if you will)! We had a great week and made some wonderful friendships.
I also got to participate heavily with the chorus this year. It was great! I am going to miss everyone so much! I missed my hubby so much, but I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Now, I will wait passionately for VGS 2011!
