Hometown Heroes---Am I Hero?

Its been a busy last few weeks. I haven't even had a chance to really sit down and think or play on this blog.
Last month, Paula and Jon took me to this early (and I do mean before the sun raised) breakfast to celebrate some local heroes in the area. It was pretty fun. Jon sponsored a table and so a few volunteers showed up as well to enjoy the breakfast. Me and Paula kept poking each to stay awake! It was sad. :( Paula kept looking at the time and saying I should be driving, heading for her bed at this time. She also said it was really weird for her to just sit and enjoy the breakfast and videos because for the last two years of this event, she has had to write and take notes, etc. She said someday she would like to help out with the celebration.
Overall, it was a great morning full of amazing stories and videos about the local heroes. Later when I'm more awake, I'll try to remember to get back on here and tell you a little about all of the different heroes, but there were about six of them. One couple was award the compassion award. Last year, maybe in the fall, there was a bad, really bad wreck with a couple of out-of-state teens injured badly. Well, the couple who found them at first, took them in and took care of them, let family members know what was going on. It was a really cool hometown hero story.
Its a really cool event with people in the community honoring those who did something for their community in many different ways. Who knows maybe I will be hometown hero next year :) ....
