RADIO CONTEST WINNERS

Last night Debra’s phone rang.  It was 14-year-old granddaughter, Baylee.  Baylee was pretty excited!  Her mother, Josie, had just called a local Christian radio station.  The third caller to the station was going to win two tickets to a Chris Tomlin / Tenth Avenue North / Rend Collective concert.  Josie was the third caller and the winner!

The radio announcer stated that two more tickets were going to be given away in the next fifteen minutes.  So, Baylee called Debra (aka Nana) and told her to listen to the station and try to win the next two tickets.

Debra turned to me and said, “I never win anything”.  But in order to let Baylee know that she at least tried, she tuned in to the radio station.  Again, the announcer announced that the third caller would win two tickets to the concert.  

Debra was the third caller right after Josie was the previous third caller.

Debra called the station, the phone rang and Debra waited.  It rang several times, nobody picked up, so she decided to hang up.  But just as she was about to hang up, a voice came on the line and said, “You’re the third caller!”

Whoa!

While talking to the announcer, Debra mentioned that the previous winner, Josie, was her daughter.  The announcer said that nothing like that has ever happened in his thirteen years working at the station.

So, it looks like a girl’s weekend getaway will be happening in April.  The combined four tickets will be shared by the four females most interested in attending the concert:  Debra, our daughter Ashley, and granddaughters Baylee and Rylie.

And I will never again hear the following words uttered in our home, “I never win anything”.

Five years ago, on Valentine's Day 2010, seven related females posed together for a Valentine family photo.
As destiny would have it, four of those seven would end up going to a concert together in 2015.

Three months ago, in early December, ten of us gathered together to celebrate Dee's birthday.  As destiny would have it, four of the ten would end up going to a concert together in 2015.

Not all of the family females will be attending the concert.
