May 1st, I was crowned Mrs. Connecticut International. I am very excited about not only representing Connecticut,
but representing the Veterans that I love so much. The International system believes in supporting a cause. I have
been supporting the Veterans and active duty military for almost TWO DECADES!
I am looking forward to representing Connecticut in July at the Mrs. International pageant in Chicago.

It's May 5th and I have my first appearance at the Tin Can Sailors annual dinner in

September 22nd, I attended the America's Liberty Miss Pageant. Here I am congratulating the new America's Liberty Ms.,
Jennifer Downey.

My daughter, Delilah, also competed in her very first pageant and was named Baby Princess (First Runner-Up)!
Yes, the date on the camera is set wrong! Tee Hee)
I was very disappointed that I wasn't able to finish out my year as I had other appearances booked. The national office had awarded another title
for a new Mrs. Connecticut. Good thing I had a friend that let me know! ;-) All in all, I had a terrific "mini-year" as Mrs. Connecticut International.
