Audrey Hale is now in DC preparing for the Bee. She is a champion quizzer and was reading at the 7th grade level in Kindergarten. I think she is well prepared for this journey. I will let you know if she will be on TV Thursday. If you have cable you might catch her sooner. I am sorry, I don't know which cable network carries it. ABC will have it on Thursday.

BTW, Audrey has an Uncle in the ministry in South Dakaota I think.
God Speed Audrey!

Well I talked to Audrey gramma last night. The contestants have to take a written test and spell one word for the judges. You need 18 points to be a finalist. She got 12. She is determined to qualify again. She gets one more chance.

Yet, in the final sentence it reads: South Dakaota

And I found that amusing.

Sorry.

Oh, you mean my first post. I thought you meant the last one.
