Good luck tonight boys!! I will miss you. I hate missing Dave get that Frist Place trophy tonight, but you that is where my heart will really be......

Breaking News.....

OK I am completey ticked off by my CNN Breaking News Text messages of late and the latest one reads......

"Wildfire, Floods, Tropical Weather making life miserable from Coast to Coast."

You want to talk miserable. Add in my neighbors to the south in Kansas who have dealt with nothing but death and disaster the last 6 days. The newness is wearing off and now the fine people of Greensburg, Kansas are left to clean up, move on and rebuild. They are no longer a national headline. I don't think it is time to stop remembering and thinking of ways in which we can help. Even if it is as simple as saying a prayer for each person who is suffering from their many loses.

Why can't I get a message of hope from CNN or a message of miracles. It is instinct to report the bad, but I am in need of the good stuff this week. My life here in the Middle of the Midwest is rather peachy, we have had storms and rain, but today the sky is filled with beautiful blues, little white puffy clouds and it is so wonderful to hear the birds singing while listening to my cattle bellar because they are being fed for the evening.

Tonight, I have a roof over my head, food to eat, clothes to wear, family to call, friends to celebrate and all the stuff I need. Unlike others, who are in need of comfort and relief. I keep playing back in my mind the times I went through, stayed in and stop briefly in Greensburg Kansas, trying to etch it in my mind. All I wish is, I would have taken just a few more minutes to appreciate my time there.

Cadillac Style

I took this picture today of our Auction Sales people with their Cadillac's. My DH who is in the front of this picture really wanted this photo taken. So here it is...the Cadillac picture.

My Heart goes out to Greensburg......

Kansas.

I simply can not believe that this beautiful Kansas town is gone. I am a Nebraska girl, but we work and travel in Kansas alot. I do consider Kansas my second home. Kansas has treated us well and I do feel at home there.

Greensburg was completely destroyed by a devasting Tornado on Friday night and it sickens me to think that this town that we have stayed in, traveled through and have done business in is gone. It is extremely sad and unbelievable.

The spirit of these people will bring Greenburg back........I am sending all the people of this wonderful place on earth all the best wishes and prayers!

God only gives the tough stuff to those that can handle it.

So Straight from Central Nebraska.........BRING GREENSBURG BACK!!

This was ONE HELL of a race night!!

Hands down...this night ROCKED!! First, my Driver, my buddy Dave WON THE IMCA MODIFIED FEATURE RACE at the Boone County Raceway. You blew them away and we love ya Dave. There was no greater pleasure for me this week then watching you win that race.

Then I get home and I rush to the computer to Check on my NASCAR Driver Clint Bowyer who was racing in the Busch race in Richmond and THERE HE WAS!! CLINT IN VICTORY LANE!! YEAH Clint!! Bring home that cup win.

So Driver wins!! Clint Wins!!!

And our Friends the Iverson's son Tyler also won his Feature race as well.

As for Jake. Driver Junior. You had some tough luck bud...but Dad brought it home. You are doing a great job kid!! After all you surprised me with a Panel from your Dad's car....Love ya kid!!

Every night I thank the lord for this part of my life.......my racing family means so very much to me!!

The first of the Season.....

That's right.....the first Bonfire of the Season. Ron and I always manage to have a couple a year and hadn't had the opportunity to have one yet, until last night. It was like 90 degrees here yesterday, which is HOT in Nebraska in April.....well the end of April....but still too hot.....speaking of hot.....the fire was perfect and made the bestest hot dogs. Those fire roasted specialities tasted better than steak! :)
