Because I am not a Mother....

I arranged with the help of my sister-in-law to make supper for my Mom at her house. Here is my family minus the kids. Me, my brother George, Mom, my sister-in-law Barb, my brother Larry and my husband Ron. We had a really nice afternoon just hanging out. I wish it would have been a little warmer, but we still had fun anyway.

Because I need to Make me feel better......

This is the Anson family....our Driver my adopted brother, my adopted nephew, and my best friend, my adopted sister....

Reality kicks you in the......

Somedays you get a swift kick in the.....................and I got that tonight. I really don't know how to explain it. Was I sick since Wednesday because I could feel something???

Then I get a call from my brother tonight....a call that Driver had an accident. I could NOT stop crying. I was shaking, very upset. Until I talked to drivers wife....I was scared...scared for her.....and worried about my Driver...my friend......my other brother. More I could NOT stop thinking about Rhonda, my "sister". I wasn't there....but who was she worried about....me "take care of yourself" she said..."Driver is fine"

I was sitting at home thinking just as long as Driver is safe and as long as Rhonda & Jake know Dave is ok.......then I am oK.

But my best friend was worried about me :) What a special, wonderful woman......THANK GOD I have her!! I could NEVER replace her in a million years!

More Team Anson Photos

I am really likeing this photo of Driver and his Son Jake. It probably won't be too long until Jake himself is driving one of these fast little numbers. Jake is a major help to his Dad....helping him in the pits on race night and work on his car. He also helped his Mom and Dad vinyl this car. I have also "adopted" Jake as my nephew :)

Team Anson Racing Photo shoot.

Why is it that, when you really want a nice day, it turns out crappy? We decided that it was time for our Annual Team Anson racing photo, so we planned it for yesterday. The wind was blowing, it was cloudy and cold. OH no....it couldn't be nice and pleasant could it? But it still turned out fine. We took some good photos, had a great meal, played some pool and conned Driver into fixing our water heater :) THANK GOD someone is good with tools.

My driver will always be my driver.....

My driver has been Dave Anson.....this year he is driving someone else's car beside his/ours at the Boone County Raceway. I have been a race fan at BCR for as long as I can remember. I am so use to to seeing that #18 car at BCR that I can not imagine my racing life without that car. So this is my take on this whole thing.......OK driver this one is for you.

I have to admit….watching you drive that 98 car made me a little sad. You’re my #18 driver. You were my driver first. Always remember that when it all comes down to it.....I am your biggest fan.

The Anson #18 has been on the track in Albion a good part of my life. I kept saying to myself…."It’s driver” “It’s just driver” It’s Dave” “It's my driver”

OH yeah Driver, I became jealous, obsessive, protectice…….your MY driver.

I never have never given up on you driver, never doubted you, never believed that were NOT the best of the best.

I became superstitious. I gave lucky charms to you…….all in all it is one thing, you are my friend.

I think I realized that when I walked up to you on Friday night and you were still Dave. Still the man whose eyes were so full of life because you raced that car like none other. That is what it is all about my friend, it is all about racing and if you ever doubt that we love ya…..you just watch us and watch me, cause you can always tell in my eyes that I am so proud of you.

I love you like a Brother Dave….always have...always will….always MY DRIVER .
