Well....the Fall Nationals of NHRA drag racing were in Ennis, Tx. last weekend and we had a motorhome parking place at the finish line! My brother from El Paso called on Thursday and asked if we were still planning to go...I said "yes" and he said...."I want to come!"
So, on Friday, he loaded up and drove all the way from El Paso. On our arrival to the Motorhome Corral.....A big Newell Motorhome was stuck in the mud....in the entrance! So, Jimmy unhooked the Hummer and we pulled it out. We got parked and Jimmy got a call from the "Colorfast" racing team...that their satellite dish internet was not working right, so off he went to work, on the other side of the track! On Friday, they called and asked Jimmy to pull a Suburban out of the mud, then another Newell Motorhome, on the other side of the track. Then, my girlfriend from high school, and her husband, came out and spent the day...later my brother showed up. It was really fun....the rumble of the top fuel and funny cars was really something! Unfortunately, Saturday and Sunday were really hot, so we didn't stay in the stands very long....but it was fun to see Ashley Force Hood beat her daddy's time (John Force)!

We came home for the rest of the week, my brother headed home on Monday morning, then we plan to go spend another week or two in Ruidoso, N.M. Jimmy broke a tooth at lunch, today, so we will be back in time for his crown to come in! Besides, I want to be here to pass out Halloween candy....then the Texas Nascar race, the first weekend in November.
