The Feast of Sharing

Sunday, the 'Belles volunteered to serve food at HEB's annual Feast of Sharing. This is the fourth year we have helped out at the Feast. HEB donates all the food and this year over 8,000 people were served a hot turkey dinner with pumpkin pie! What a great event. The girls had to partner up and one person carried the tray full of food and the other partner served the plates. Just like in everything we do, we are competitive. We had to be first in line, we all wanted to be the first group to serve our plates, etc. We were practically running each other over when we saw someone sitting down without a plate of food in front of them! Thankfully, I am happy to report that no plates of food or people were injured during our shift!

Last night was our final scrimmage. I could really see a big difference in our offense. I saw some weaknesses in our defense/rebounding, but nothing that can't be fixed with a little practice. The freshman played well again and Camille Perkins got to play for about 10 minutes. She looked great and we are definetly glad to have her back on the court.

Unfortunately, we also got some bad news yesterday. Camille's grandmother was out running and she was hit by a car. She was in surgery last night and we are all praying for a complete and speedy recovery. I have no doubt that a GRANDMOTHER that runs everyday, will no doubt be up and running before we know it!!!!

Four more days of practice before our first game. Sunday we will have our final preseason practice and a team dinner. At the team dinner we are each going to decorate a pink or white square for a quilt to auction off during our Pink Zone week. Julie Hargraves (Halie's Mom) is making the quilt for us to auction off to help raise money for breast cancer research. I know the quilt is going to be awesome and I know it is going to raise a lot of money, in fact I am already saving my money! Thanks Julie.

See ya Monday!!!!
