P. S. to my Talladega blog :




Thanks Will !

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. . . . . . Well, I guess you get the point - I appreciate it more than you will ever know (even though I might tell you a hundred times, it will still not be enough to tell you how much I truly appreciate you and all you've done for me! I love you and will feed you for the rest of my life - Ha Ha!)

And for those of you who don't know - Will is the one who is responsible for me getting to hang out and help out with Ken Schrader's team. He is a great friend and our whole family just adores him.

We love you Will and THANKS SO MUCH!!!

"Talledega! - October 6, 2007"

Oh my goodness!!!! I had an absolutely awesome time at the races this weekend. The guys on the team are so much fun and soooooo sweet. I just love being around them.


I got an extra special treat this weekend - I got to score for the team and it was so neat! And to top it all off I got paid for it! I wanted to do it for free just because they let me come and hang out, but Brian insisted on paying me. I got my cake and got to eat it too!!

On Thursday, Kenny Schrader came over and hung out with us for a while. I was standing outside by the car taking some pictures when Kenny came out of the hauler and walked over to me. He leaned over and asked me "just how dark is our locker room?" and then turned around and walked back to the hauler. After I quit screaming and laughing - I realized that most everybody on the team was in on the joke and was laughing right along with me.

Somebody told Kenny this story (which is actually true): After the Sonoma race, I got back to the shop around midnight and went in to take a shower. I had just gotten lathered up good and had started washing my hair when the lights went out (no one knew they were on a timer). So I stood there in the dark, laughing at myself, taking my shower and trying to figure out what I was going to do (there were several walls and turns to get back to the light switch). When the team came in the next morning, everyone got a big kick out of the story.

Well, Kenny being the jokester that he is thought it would be funny to ask me about it. Kenny came back over after I quit laughing and we had a good laugh out of it! He is such a sweet person and really nice.

Got to get up close and take picutures of lots of drivers and such and you know how I love that!

Sometimes I have to pinch myself because God has been so good to me - I may not be famous or rich, but I am one of the luckiest and most blessed people on the planet and I will be forever grateful for all that God has given to me.

Always remember that I love you all.

"Heading to Talledega! - October 2, 2007"

Woooooo Hoooooo!! I'm heading to Talledega on Thursday to hang out and help cook for Ken Schrader's ARCA car team. I'll get to see all of the guys that I went to California with in June and I'm really excited! I loved going to the race in Sonoma with these guys and I know that this weekend will be just as much fun. I can't wait....

Becca will be heading to Myrtle Beach to work with Dusty's team - I hate that I'll miss being with them, but I'm gonna love being at Talledega and I'll get to see them at the South Georgia race and the Lakeland race later on this month.

This weekend, the ARCA cars race on Friday, the Craftsman Trucks on Saturday and the Cup cars on Sunday. It's going to be like hunting on a baited field! I know I'll have some great pictures after this weekend!

I have to work tonight and then sleep for a little while in the morning. Most of the rest of the day will be spent doing my prep work for the food I'm cooking and I'm also making food for Becca to take to Myrtle Beach.

I'll have handbells and choir at church tomorrow night, will come home and sleep just a little and then get up about 4:30 Thursday morning and head out for Talledega. I'll hook up with the guys at the hotel in Anniston and then off to the track to get our credentials and set up.

I am sooooooo LUCKY and BLESSED - how many people get to live their dreams like I do ? - God has been so good to me and I praise him for all he's done in my life and the blessings he has given to me. How AWESOME he is!!

I love you all and hope you have a great weekend too!
