A Day at the Races...

Good Morning Friends,

Yesterday was a LONG day for me. The night before my friend that I have never met in person before came down this way for a AMA motorcycle flat track race here in Pomona. She is a cycle race freak and goes to all the races. This one is very close to me.

I was supposed to go to a B-day party with Hubby on Saturday, but he got everything mixed up with the times and was at work in the day so I decided to buy a ticket and go with Mayra to the race. Never been to anything like that before.

 I made her eat breakfast. She never does which is bad. She ate most of it.

And as usual I got ZERO sleep again. Geeze look at the big baggage under my eyes.

This is my Friend Mayra

 This is me with # 42 Brian Smith. He wound up 3rd place in the big race. He was very popular.

 This was his booth that we sat next to. I was helping Mayra sell her Ricky Graham T-shirts.

 Lots of people.

 And a beautiful day. That's where we were down in the pitts all day. It was a beautiful day of 80 degrees.

We got there around 11:30 am and the races didn't start until 7pm and we didn't get out of there and back home until 11:30 pm.

What a long day for me. We were on our feet and in the sun most of the day. We finally ate lunch at 3pm and I was hungry to say the least. There were 2 roach coaches, one said Sliders and the other said Nachos something... So we chose the Mexican food. I had to soft tacos that were so good, meat, cheese, and hot sauce on corn tortillas. You know they always double them so I pulled off the outer ones.

I had some nuts and squares of 86% dark chocolate in my small purse and nibbled on that during the day. I am pretty sure I didn't drink enough water at all. They were $3-4 per bottle. I wound up very cold and tired by the end of the day - but it was a fun day.

I did meet a guy who said his brother and nephew got killed in a car accident 2 days before my son did. That kind of hit home a little. We totally understood what each other was feeling.

Around 6:30 we went to Brian's tent and they had food. Like BBQ style stuff so I had a Bratwurst, a slice of tomato, lettuce and a slice of cheese.

My breakfast this morning was 1 pumpkin and 1 chocolate cheesecake muffin, turkey bacon and berries and much needed COFFEE..

I don't know what today holds for me. Hubby is working again and me and the 3 furry girls are alone as usual. Maybe a walk in a bit.

Thanks for listening and have a great day!!

My thought for the day:

Constant Kindness

Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate. 

Keep on BFC ' n  :-)
