Busy busy

It has been a busy week. Joe worked 3 nights this week. Woo hoo! Maybe he can get 3 in next week too before we head to see my dad :-)

No working on the house this week at all. Some year it will get done.

Yesterday we went to Houston to see our friend Jim. Oh my goodness what a change from last week when we saw him. He moved his fingers a tad bit on the one hand and was moving his feet and toes. He had also stood in the AM but we missed seeing how they did that with him. Let me tell you TIRRS is an amazing place. From what we have read they have great results too. Joe was to get a motorized wheel chair today. Boy they are going to have a hard time keeping up with him once he figures that out. LOL He has to have surgery next week on some disks that they think might be causing issues still. His target date to get out of the hospital was Dec 17th but since they are going to do surgery it will be later :-( He wants Joe to be a nurse that will come over and take care of him when he comes home. We shall see though but I do know we will be helping him as much as we can.

This afternoon we went to the race track and helped Jim's wife and the guy who is helping her do a few things. Tomorrow is the benefit for them. We are so hoping they get a huge car count but hard to tell since other tracks in TX are having big races too.

Woo hoo finally

Woo hoo I FINALLY was able to log back into my blog. I ended up using a different browser. :-)

We have been so busy this summer with the house, racing and a few trips.

Racing going good. Joe is still 3rd in points with the club. He won a feature race recently at Shady Oaks.

Joe and I just got back from FL the other day from a much needed getaway. We had a nice time. Stayed on Disney property and just used their transportation system. Worked real good. It was neat as they had a boat we could hop on and go to Downtown Disney. We took it atleast once a day. I really enjoy Downtown Disney just people watching. Disney had an awesome deal for military what we used. Joe got in free for 5 days and I got in for $130 for 5 days. :-) Love those kinds of deals. We also went to Cirque Du Soleil. COOL! They also were offering a military discount.

We have been having quite a bit of rain this last month. We so needed it. Today it has been raining cats and dogs for hours now. We need to bring more dirt in as the back yard is still so un-level and collects water and then the mosquitoes come. UGH!

The house is coming along slowly but surely. Thought we might be in by Christmas but not seeing it happening. Hoping by March/April as we have several friends and family coming to see us from out of state. YIKES!

Off to Arkansas for a quick trip to see Dad and Pam next week for my birthday. A few days late but......

I will try to post more now that I have figured out a way to get in :-)
