How awesome...Don't know how I missed this post. How awesome that Beth got to try out for American Idol and how awesome for her family to back her up on that. I'm sure she was disappointed but at least she had the right mind set to know that there was a possibility she wouldn't make it. Tell her not to give up. A friend of my husband's (whose name escapes me right now) has tried out for AI twice, been chosen, twice, but has never made it all the way. He's still not giving up. It gives them exposure they wouldn't otherwise get and practice at facing victories and disappointments. I think I"m talking to much here, lol. I think we are all proud of Beth.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13637952428656957505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-24164012418425195042012-07-26T03:04:07.780-05:002012-07-26T03:04:07.780-05:00She really is such a pretty girl and courageous! ...She really is such a pretty girl and courageous!

Don't worry about the animals in your absence. Slim and I will do our best to take care of everyone. We've already got four new chicks hatched by our red hen June. Mr.Gibson is also on another nest getting ready to domino any day. She'll have more when you return. Have fun.<br /><br />Pat Mackenzie -- We are hopeful that she will continue following her dreams whatever they may be.<br /><br />Charlotte -- I am sure that as a teacher you know those kids who are willing to go for the brass ring. I'm proud to also tell you that she is a great student excelling in Math of all things:)<br /><br />Pat -- Yes writers know what those rejection letters mean...nothing. If you like what you have done, keep pursuing the dream. It is definitely paying off for you. I like to think of Beth's situation though as more non-acceptance than rejection.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-24301467660912580662012-07-23T05:24:41.816-05:002012-07-23T05:24:41.816-05:00Well done Beth.

Good on Auntie Sonny:)<br /><br />Whitemist -- Yes it was fortunate that they were auditioning people about 1 1/2 hours away from her home. Some people can't travel the distance to the nearest place.<br /><br />Kenju -- I know how much to encourage the young people to follow their dreams. I think you know more about American Idol than the rest of us.<br /><br />Changes in the wind -- I'm pretty sure this will be a repeat event each time it is scheduled for Oklahoma City. Now they know what to expect and she has seen the other performers.<br /><br />Jeanie -- I think Beth is extra strong because she has two older brothers who have helped clear every path for her and see that she is without fear. By the way you and I have lots in common and almost the same mix of grandkids only we're ahead of you by one. We have five boys and three girls.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-21893310726703998692012-07-21T08:41:07.373-05:002012-07-21T08:41:07.373-05:00She sounds like a girl who will do what it takes t...She sounds like a girl who will do what it takes to make her dreams come true.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810126999695733332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-48488699523905508312012-07-21T08:25:22.533-05:002012-07-21T08:25:22.533-05:00This is awesome...dared to dream and parents that ...This is awesome...dared to dream and parents that helped and what does that create?
