Day 54...Race day

The winner of Daytona race...  Dale Earnhardt Jr.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Good evening,

It has been a long day.   The Daytona pre race started at 10 this morning.   The race at 11.
So we didn't go to church or the music jam at our park.
But the race just got a good start and it rained.   And rained,   and rained.   They kept saying clear skies were coming so we hung in there.   We had lunch and a bunch of other snacks but no race.

I worked on my beading.   I thought I was out of the colored beads but I did find some.     Still no race...
Mel read one of his magazines,  watched a TV show about building the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington.    Still no race.    We had supper,   Still no race.    Finally near 7:00 it started.

It was a good race.   I sure missed Mark Martin.  He was my favorite for so many years and he retired last year.   I still don't have any one favorite.   It is hard to want 5 of them to win.

I been happily thinking of our friends,  Dixie and Lorenz visiting.   We had such a good time.   They are flying back home to the snow tomorrow.   Now we heard from other friends who will come to spend the weekend with us.  I don't know them well so I hope I can keep them entertained. (Mel knows them)

There is lots of things planned this week.   Just hope I can remember to get pictures.

Good night and God Bless.    Hugs too.
