Watching car after car line up, burn some rubber and take off in hopes of being the first to the finish line wasn't exactly how I imagined spending my Friday evening. Though I do admit that it was kind of exciting. Last night was street legal drags so any car was eligible for the race. Scott got to ride with his buddy Cory when he raced his souped up Ford truck. Cory lost to a little 'rice burner', much to his chagrin. I didn't even think to take my camera. Doh! I got me a bit of an edumacation when it comes to cars and turbo and nitr0us and super charged and such. What is it with men and there need to go as fast as they possibly can? Some cars were quite impressive, and some left you wondering why they thought their car could win a drag race.
Today has been much slower paced, for me at least. I've been outside for a good part of the day working in the yard. I planted strawberry plants in hopes that they will survive better than the ones I planted last year. It is fun to see our garden taking shape a little more each year. This year I convinced my husband to see things my way, that outlining and bordering the garden was the way to go. He has balked at this idea, he wanted easy acess for tilling and such. I wanted definite outlines and borders to help cut down on grass and weeds. Not to mention that it looks so much nicer.
Scott took Jordan to Farmingdale, a nearby small (blink and you'll miss it) town that has a large off roading area for ATVs. Scott has a 4-wheeler and Jordan has a little dirtbike. So while I am home,

Hope Scott had fun checking out the NASCAR babes ;)

~happy mother's day to ya, kathleen :)
The sound of speedway is the sound of impending summer. There is a raceway about 10 miles from my house. It echoes throughout the valley. I don't like it.
Amanda at the Dragway - what? no pictures?
Nathan loves monster trucks, and twice I have gone on Hot Dates to see a Monster Truck show. And twice I had beer spilt on me.
It's true love.
Happy Mother's Day!
I like the new header too.
Nothing like a night at the dragway to help you feel superior to at least a segment of the population.
utmommy: Thank you! I hope you had a great day!
millie: I was actually surprised that there were fewer 'babes' than I expected! It was somewhat of a family affair.
kathleen: Thank you! I hope yours was great too!
elizabeth: Where we went it was a dragway so each race was done and overwith in 10 seconds or less. The noise wasn't too bad. We have a speedway not far from our house, it gets very loud in the summer.
wendy: I know, next time I'll take the camera for sure! :) THat is sooo gross about the beer! I was surprised there was actually no alcohol there! Just good clean fun.
annie: Yes indeed!
