some of the crafts
Me and our new friends !
Mel...
Sorry the craft pictures are sideways.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------We had a fun day. We spent the morning at the craft show at our clubhouse. We looked around but didn't buy anything. Lots of jewelry. I got some new ideas. Mel bought some tickets for a drawing but didn't win there either. We drank coffee, ate cinnamon rolls and visited. close to noon they served big fat juicy cheeseburgers.
Came home and talked to Tom on the phone and then got ready to go to Blythe CA. The gates to the race open at 1:00.
Just before we entered the parking lot to the race track we remembered the time difference. Opps. It was only noon there. 2 hours to wait. AG and Audrey came so our visiting made the time go by in a hurry.
It was a fun race. The drivers age ranged from 10 to 75. Just imagine your 10 year old son or 12 year old daughter speeding around a quarter mile track at 60 mph. In this race was the Bandoleros.
The winner was 15, 2nd place was 10, 3ed was a 12 year old girl. Awesome !!
Others racing was Vintage Midgets & Sprints. These were driven by the older ones - in their 70's.
The cars were maybe raced in Indy years ago. Also racing were street stocks, factory stocks, & Legends. The final race was 8 cars driven by women who weren't used to racing. It was pretty funny. They claimed it was filmed for a future TV show. Hmmmmm We shall see.
After the race we went to the Sizzler for a great supper.
Home again. My plan was to read my email and Facebook, write my blog and get to bed but I got watching the Doubles Skate on the Olympics. Now it is after 1 and we have to get up early in the morning. Guess I will be tired tomorrow.
Good night and God Bless
