Racing and Growing

 The 8^th of November Todd came for a visit and we had a really nice visit. Dawn came over after the workman left her place so it was extra nice to have both ‘kids’ for a visit!

On November 13th we went to Phoenix International Raceway park for Larry

to ‘experience’ his birthday present, driving a NASCAR race car around the

track. It ended up being an almost all day affair as he was supposed to drive

at 2 PM but didn’t get to drive until nearly 3:30 PM. Thankfully the weather

was cooler than it has been but the sun was still brutal for Larry as he

rounded turn three looking directly into the afternoon sun! He had a good

time anyway and we were again with the kids.

I’ve been wanting to plant a garden but with lumber prices sky high had

decided to forgo it for this winter. Then Dawn and Vince had something

delivered in wooden boxes that Larry was able to repair and I now have an

above ground garden with radishes, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots,

beets, Brussel Sprouts, and onions coming up. The celery has yet to show its

face but I still have hopes.  God is good all the time!

For Thanksgiving we went to our youngest grandson’s place and had a nice

day and dinner. There were 10 of us. The highlight of the day was seeing an

owl on the neighbor’s roof in the city no less. Not something that happens

very often I don’t think. Actually there were two of them but only Dawn saw

the second one as she heard it, turned around just in time to see it fly away.
