Day 55... VERY windy

Welcome back.

I don't know what was wrong with this yesterday but I could not get in to write.
I could read but it wouldn't let me go to the next post. Was it the blogs falt or my computer?????

Yesterday we had a last min. thought to do some shopping in Quartzsite. But couldn't find what we wanted so had a Whopper Jr and an ice cream cone and came home.

It was Marti Gru day here in the park. There was a parade of decorated gulf carts and ATV's. Kind of fun but they went by to fast and it only lasted 5 min.
There was a dance at night, but....

We decided to go to the race at the Blythe CA race track. That was fun but not many cars so wasn't as good as other times. Friends Alice and Kermit went with us.

Today was the big Daytona 500 race. The pre race stuff started at 10 and the electricity went out. I was so upset. Then it came on again but off again...
This went on for over 2 hours. I thought sure we were missing the race. I even tried to follow it on the computer but NASCAR.com wasn't working either. Do I have the luck or what? But walla... electric came on and stayed on and the best thing is that the race had not started until that very minute. I was happy again.

The Nation Wide race yesterday had a bad bad accident. Many cars crashed and car parts flew in the crowd injuring 28 people with 11 taken to the hospital. I think all but 2 are doing ok. No drivers were hurt but the cars were sure a mess. Thank goodness there wasn't anything bad happening in todays race. Danica, the lady driver, broke all kinds of records being the 1st gal to win the pole. She came in 8th. My man, Mark Martin came in 3ed. I so wanted him to win.

We went to the Koffa restaurant for supper. Home again and turned the heat up.

The wind blew so hard all day long. My petunia baskets weren't even safe from the wind on the deck so had to bring them in. I sure wish it would warm up... I mean AZ warm.

Hoping tomorrow will be better....

It is Mel's uncle Arnold's 90th birthday today. Happy Birthday Uncle Arnold.

God Bless and good night hugs
