Day 33... On the go



Hi everyone...

What a big day we had ! Up at 6am... ( now that doesn't happen very often) and left for Bouce .
We checked out a few yard sales asking directions to the race at the last sale. Then traveling maybe 10 miles on a very rough, narrow, hilly, gravel road we got to where we could see the race cars. The Parker 425 Baha race. How exciting. It was almost an 8 hour race but we only watched for 2. We hope to go again next year but bring chairs and a pot of coffee. We asked another guy the best way to get our of there and he said just take a left at that stop sign. Walla..... black top road leading right back to town.

The Black Powder gun Rondazvew was on in the same area so we checked that out. It didn't amount to much and Molly was afraid of the gun fire. There was a couple of venders we checked out. Mel got a nice belt.

Back to Brenda and lunch at Stevies. We had Minnesota Walleye. Not to bad but kind of greasy. Then home again.

Listening to the race finish on the radio we were so excited as our favorite, Robbie Gordon won. We know him from NASCAR racing. But a few min later they announced that he had a 15 min penalty so he didn't win. They wouldn't say what the penalty was for. They said we would read about it later. But the fans were so mad and demanded to know. He was accused of talking to a helicopter and this helped him know where other cars were. Robbie denied it and I haven't heard any more. I think he got second.

I made shish kabobs(?) and cooked them on the grill. I have never made one before had no idea what I was doing. And it showed. Mel liked them but sure wasn't anything to brag about. I will have to take a lesson.

Tonight we went to the 50's sock hop at the clubhouse. I had a good time but sure tired.

My niece called to tell me her son Larry was in a fishing contest and won a big fishing ice house. Nice eh?

Last night I attempted to post some pictures but I couldn't make it work. I hope it does now.

God Bless and good night hugs
