Jenny's Journey

Saturday - October 10, 2010  Team Jenna The one we stride for....Jenna Wow, we could not have asked for a better day! 100x better then last years weather!  Made the 5 mile walk much more bearable! This year Team Jenna consisted of Jenna, Jadyn, James, my Mom, Shelly, Jake, Joyce, Kim and myself. (Becky and Jim were part of our team but something came up last minute) As a team we raised $1080.00 for CHW!  Its a bit down from last year, but we had a few less people on our team, plus I noticed (others did too) that many people donated less this year.

After he returned, we had a late dinner at some supperclub and hit 2 bars til about 130.  The bed upnorth SUCKS....so I slept sucky. I am tired.  And guess where he is now.  He was too tired to get up in the morning to hunt...I made the bed too cozey he said. (it was damn cold up there.....very very heavy frost!) So now he left us girls to hunt at his cousins in the are
