The Tom Danielson Awards Ceremony
Ellie had eagerly awaited Friday night. She loves it when she gets to meet celebrities. Tom Danielson is a big one is the world of cycling. The ceremony was wonderful. Basil Docs, a local pizza place that sponsored the series brought in 42 large pizzas and they were gone in under 30 minutes. It was sort of gourmet and very tasty. The flavors had a nice subtle blend to them. My cookies were also a hit. One team is a group of boys go to a boarding school. Apparently they don't get cookies often. Their first time though they were each very thoughtful about which one to take. Later, one by one, they came by and said, "'xcuse' me , mama. Do you think everyone has had a chance to have a cookie?" "Yes." I replied. "Do you want more?" (after a bit of hesitation) "How many different kinds did you make?" I picked out the best of each of the flavors and handed them out in due course. I think all of those boys got a nice number. The favorites turned out to be the ones with chunks of Reese Peanut Butter Cup in them. Our team won many awards. Ellie was happy to receive her metal and thrilled to accept the Junior Woman 10-12 Team award as well. Our team got so many awards that the trophy maker called the organizers to make sure it was not a typo. It was gratifying to see so much support for Junior Cycling in Colorado.
