Just a Short Note For Now

We have been on a real emotional high for the last week and a half.  Cole Cabrera, My Grandson (please go to his facebook page and click "Like" at the top of the page) has been in North Carolina for Nascar D4D Combine.  He tested in the race cars in Virgina.  He and his Dad and Crew Chief Mike were gone for 10 days.  The First 3 days (his testing days) were so intense for us here at home (California) wondering and waiting for any news and updates as to how he was doing and how things were going.  He did AWESOME!  We will not know the results for a few weeks though.  So exciting!

I don't know how to get you caught up on the last 3 weeks without publishing a book, almost.  I have been busy working with My Husband conducting Marketing Seminars, visiting with friends and family.  I had to have a Crown replaced on my tooth, that was a real treat and quite expensive.  I could go into the story of how I was treated at this new CORPORATE owned Dental Office.  I think I will save that for another post because I would truly like your opinions and thoughts about it.   Everything else is mostly a blur to me. :0)

Need to Go fix dinner now so have a great evening, It is "Survivor" night and "Modern Family", two of my favorite TV Shows.

It's A Birthday Celebration Month

We have been caught up in the madness of September Birthday Month! September is almost like Christmas in our Family. Many Birthday's, Wedding Anniversaries and we received some MOST AWESOME NEWS regarding our Grandson Cole. (I will post his video if I can).

Birthdays: Happy Birthday to My Son-In-Law Bobby, My Nephew Alex, My Grandson's Trainer Mike, ME, Kathy, My GrandNiece Siena, Jim, Christine, Cathy, and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to my Sister and Hubby, Debbie & Chuck! Lots of Cakes, Goodies and Fun!! Of Course, at MY age, EVERYDAY is a Celebration, yay; I made it another day--What am I going to do to make the most of this Beautiful Day?


NEWS: Our Grandson Cole has been racing "SOMETHING" since he was 3-4 years old. He is currently racing Cars and trucks, moving across that track at 130 miles per hour. Believe me, I LOVE to watch him race, BUT, I cringe until the race is over. He is my Grandson; I don't like the crashing parts.


So, Now he is 16 years old, an incredible driver (grandma thinks so, so it must be true) and he applied for the "Drive for Diversity" program. We found out on the 15th that he was accepted! Now he will be going thru the rest of the personal interviews process and, driving tests, etc., in North Carolina and a decision will be made if he makes it to the top 10 out of 30 kids. If so, The Family's life will change of course. This will mean a lot for his career. Here is a short description that my daughter posted on Facebook to better understand what this means.

"Cole made it to the D4D combine in north Carolina!!! They choose 30 drivers, 10 will make it!!! We ...r just excited to be invited!!If he makes the 10 that's the driver development program!!! NASCAR crew and car for a full season!!!! He's only 16 so he can continue to apply until he's 25 if he doesn't make it, but what an awesome experience!!!" WE ARE SO PROUD and HAPPY for him!


Here is Cole's Video


WELCOME to all of my NEW Followers, this is so fun for me...I really appreciate your follow! :0)

Have a Most Wonderful Day!
