Pam, that is so cool and very exciting! She has to be on top of the world right now. :-)

C~I'm sure she hasn't really slept in days! We are so excited for her....She has overcome a lot to get where she's at!

Pam - Wow, I wish I was there to celebrate. That is very exciting!

PS, don't party to much!

GO AMERICA! That sounds like fun... too bad the commute for me would be more than I can handle at this given time :-)

Very cool! We have our eye on the local high school grad who is in the pole vault. I'm having such a fun time with these olympics... they're so inspiring.

Robert~It is awesome for Boise, Idaho, and the USA!

Peter~I will understand you not making the trip! ; )

Chuck~What's your hometown Olympian's name? I will have to root for him too!

Pam, congratulations again to Kristin. She's got back to Boise fast from her medal winning activities in Beijing. I am so proud for her and your area to get that kind of spotlight.

Thanks Gary! I was kind of surprized to hear she was back so soon too!

That is so amazing and fantastic she won gold and is coming home to Idaho!! I bet the city is so proud of her. Have fun celebrating this weekend!

Thanks for visiting Terrie! Yes, Boise is so excited and proud of Kristin!!!

Pam, also in our area a North Texan Nastia Liukin won a Gold in the All Around in gymnastics.

Lots of local heroes by our Olympians.

Gary~You really live near the Gymnastic Mecca don't you? I watched Nastia win last night! It was so great to see USA go gold and silver!

Pam - a great way for a town to honor someone. I would like to be there to share in the celebration.

Pam What wonderful news---for Boise and for all of us! I've been watching as much as I can of the olympics and I am really enjoying it.

Mike~Boise really looks out for their own! She is getting the Red Carpet treatment.

Carole~I have been soooo tired this week from watching the Olympics! I can't get enough!
