DAY 219: Marion County's 2011 Junior Miss
Sunday, August 8, 2010 at 08:49PM Our new Junior Miss is my dear niece, Christine. Here is her button along with one of my very favorite pictures of her as a little girl. Christine has truly been a joy to our family since the day she was born.

33 talented girls competed in our local program last night, each one outstanding in her own way. The judges deliberated and decided that Christine would be the one to represent our county at the State pageant. I am thrilled, and have every confidence that she will represent us well.
This journey our family and our community will take with my niece promises to be a very sentimental one for me, that's for sure. It was 33 years ago that I was the Marion County Junior Miss - 1978. Hard to believe that now I'm one of the oldest. Our very first Junior Miss - Polly Young (1965) - seemed to be a figure far in the distant past when I was Junior Miss. It seems crazy to me now that she and I have more in common than I ever expected at the time...I never thought of a day that I would appear together with her in that "first column" of Junior Misses listed in the official program...but there we are, and they keep having to add more columns behind us! ; )
I have so many more thoughts about this, but I guess that will do it for now.
Congratulations, Christine! We are so very happy and proud of you!
