Check This Out!!

What do you think of my new wheels?!! OK, not mine, but it's what I get to ride to work in every morning. My friend, Eleanor, owns it, lives near me, works at CH, has been kind enough to offer me rides each morning, and we share a common love for racing. She, however, is much further down the speedway than I since she really does race this beautiful little Porsche at High Plains Raceway. I have to be happy with memories of our little Javelin on a straightaway in Wyoming and street drags - oh, yeah, Mom, I forgot to tell you about that. Seriously, I never had a good enough car of my own to race but borrowed Gary's when we were first married a few times - oh, yeah, hon, I also forgot to tell you about that - and then we got our little AMC Javelin and had fun with it for a few years. Anyway, how lucky could I be? I told Eleanor I'm not so sure I even want to drive again! I have to say a shiny little red Porsche convertible is eye-catching, I've never been looked at so much in my life, it's kind of fun. And thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Eleanor, for all the rides! I really am anxious to drive again, though, only 3 more weeks, I can't wait - there's something very sweetly satisfying about getting back to normal routines again.

So - I missed an entire week on this blog site so I think that means either I'm getting better or getting busier - or quite probably, both. In fact, I have my first week of full time work under the belt and it's going pretty well, even with our move - and it's been great to see so many of my old friends again. We survived another computer crash at home and I should have entitled this "NOTE to SELF - BACK UP COMPUTER!!!" Wouldn't you think it would take just one time to learn that lesson? No, because when our computer is back up again I get busy again, think it will last forever again, etc etc. This time, however, we actually did back up some of our files the night before it crashed so we at least still have our pxs - we lost several years' worth earlier this year and that was heartbreaking.

Well, if anyone is still reading this blog I wish you a good week in every way. Hope it brings good health, happiness, close and good relationships, satisfaction in work and also some fun.

Blessings!
