It's hot hot hot here....


We had a nice time at the races this past Saturday :-) In the heat race Joe and another guy kinda got together and Joe ended up with a valve stem coming right out causing a flat tire :-( While he did not come in last he was next to last but was able to finish the race.
In the feature he started in the back and came up through the cars. Woo hoo go Joe go! He did get spun 2 times and but yet still got up to battle with the leader Andrew. The last two laps about did me in. I feel bad for the others in the stands next to me as I sure was not quiet nor still. It came down to the very inch at the flag stand. From my view I just knew Joe won. And a lot of others in the stands thought the same thing and were totally shocked when they announced that Andrew won :-( I even had a few people come over and ask me what happened. LOL Ya got me but we are thrilled with the second place. Nice to finally win a tad bit more money to cover our cost of driving there, entry fee and sometimes a hotel over night. Who knows what the next race will bring but for now we are just tickled he did so well. I will never get him to quit racing if he always does good. LOL Next race for him is June 14th I think in Houston!


UGH we came h0me to water in our family room and kitchen. What a mess! I guess the toilet stuck when Christina had stopped by. I hate to see the water bill! We have the house all opened up now and trying to dry it out. Last night Joe and I had the steam cleaner and a wet/dry shop vac cleaning up the water. Atleast I will have a nice clean carpet in there now :-) The kitchen is going to take more work as the rug that I had under the kitchen table leaked maroon dye in some of the grout. UGH! I read on line to get some oxiclean and see if I can get it out. If not I am not sure what the next step to try will be. I am in no hurry though to do that as I know it won't get any worse.


We finally have a colt next door. I guess she was born over night as when we all went to check this AM there she was. I need to get Joe to go over there and take a picture. I have just seen her from a far as I did not feel like climbing the fence.


Joe is supposed to work tonight. I sure hope so!!!
