Ready for Race Weekend

Another Memorial Weekend has come and gone. Our thoughts and thanks were with the troops, the veterans and those at home celebrating with their high school reunions and Memorial Services. This is the first year in a long time that we have been away from Nebraska at this time. We had a relaxing weekend. Drag Race Girl and crew got here on Sunday. They got to park right next door with their 48' trailer and we had quite a few folks stop by and look at the car and visit with Christy. They had just finished up several showings of the Race Car at Ft. Sill Oklahoma and the Lawton area. She has family in Afghanistan and is a military widow herself so service and support of the troops is formost with her. They had the racecar rewrapped in a red white and blue/camo motif and when it moves it looks like the flag is waving. (They just stopped by, and she downloaded a picture of the new wrap! It's Awesome1) I can't wait to see it go down the track! They say once ya get a taste of this nitro in the morning and the power of burning the tires you get addicted, and I'm definitely addicted! I'm getting excited to watch the National events again....and see some of the people we've met. Glenn has a cousin that farms west of here, and we went out to his place and went fishing, and had a BBQ at their place. Christy has been sick for 3 weeks, so we spent some time at the E Room of a Topeka Hospital yesterday to get some Antibiotics...I told her there was no excuses --- I wanted some wins and she couldn't do that feeling bad....so now she can breathe! They left this morning to go get the trailer in line to park inside the track and we'll meet up later. DH's sister is stopping by to visit tomorrow so we're anything but bored. We're headed out to breakfast, so will sign off for now and add pics later! It has rained here all morning. I wanted to go to Lake Shawnee, which is just a few blocks south of here, but it's not a very nice day for that. I think it may be a good day to just curl up with a book! Stay tuned......................
