One problem with finding ants in the kitchen - I see them everywhere now.  An over-ripe banana - those brown flecks must be ants!  Toast crumbs on the counter - they must be ants!  We won't even talk about the spilled coffee grounds......luckily, the ants seem to be gone, so it is just my imagination now, seeing them everywhere.  I can live with that!  Anything but having ants in my kitchen.

Alli participated in Special Olympics in Red Bluff on Tuesday.  She went for a new personal best! Last year, they had her entered in the shot-put.  Her throw - 14 inches (about the length of her forearm .... meaning she pretty much just dropped it.)  This year, she was entered in the 25 meter run (no time is written on her card) the Softball Throw (.5 is on her card for that one) and the Tennis Ball Throw.  That one had a whopping 5 feet!  She also participated in carrying the school banner in the parade around the field.  She surprised her aide - after they had walked around the track, they were standing there during presentations and introductions, etc., and when people started clapping, Allison joined right in, clapping too.  Luckily she wasn't the only one holding the banner!
