So glad we have this off topic board. I can't resist showin' ya'll these pictures of my grandbaby, Olivia. She's in first grade but she was so good at cheerleading tryouts she's part of a fourth grade cheerleading team. These pictures are of competition, which her team won. She's so adorable. And make-up at seven!! Not sure what to think about that. My daughter says she's always begging to have her nails done! Blows me away! (These pix are uncropped.)

Steely resolve?  Formidable?  Is that what my problem.  Wondered what was keeping me upright.  Thanks for looking, Tom.  I think she's beautiful.  She can't help it if she takes after her grandmother.  ha!!
