We had another nice weekend in West Texas. We left for Abilene around 11am on Saturday since Jim's new co-worker started on Saturday (?) and he needed to make his boss happy and put in about 2-3 hours with him. As we came thru Weatherford I finally got to stop at this shop that I've been wanting to check out for at least a year. He sells all kinds of New Mexico iron work stuff, chinineas (sp?), clay pots, ect. It was neat, but we only got 2 sun faces. It was one of those places that's neat to look at. We got to Abilene about 3ish and went straight to the track. Jim went to help sell fuel and I went to visit for a bit before heading to Kim and Gary's. I'd hoped to get to see Dad race, but he did so well in the qualifing on Friday..that he wasn't up to race again till Sunday. (I had palnned to go into more detail about Dad and Moms set up at the track and how Dad ended up doing...but I'm hoping that Dad will become inspired to put this info in his Blog...hint...hint :)
Me and the kids headed to K&G's about 5:30 and came in at the end of her crop party (scrapbooking). I got to see so really talented ladies at work. I'm still pretty sure that it's not for me, but I sure do enjoy looking at what Kim and all scrapbookers create. We had a really nice visit talking about everything under the sun. We aleays end up covering so many different topics that I hardly ever remember waht we talked about. The kids (of course) had a great time together. Matt and Brandon are like two peas in a pod (which is humorous if you know Matt's feeling about peas ;)
Jim got it about 11-11:30 and we'd all just went to bed. So Jim didn't get to do any visiting until the morning. K&G put on one heck of a spead for breakfast too!! Pancakes w/ chocolate gravy was the big hit with the kids. We just hung out for a while, went to lunch, and then we all headed out to the track. Kim's Mom and Step-Dad were meeting them out at the track. They all enjoy watching racing also. When we got the the track Dad was doing pretty well on the outside, but I knew (and Mom knew :) that he was a ball of nerves on the inside. We hung out in hopes that he'd get to race around 5pm. Unfortunately we found out that it's be much later than that, so we had to head home. Dad called me with his results about 8:30-9pm just as we were heading into Decatur. (Again, I won't post the results in hopes that Dad will :)
It was a busy weekend, but fun. Always nice to go back home.
