Summer Fun

Took me this long to get the pictures posted from the Indy 500 race.  Going to attempt to blog weekly.  Reading the book The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin and she does one hour a day, don't think that
will work for me.  I am excited just to be blogging....  I have added pictures from the summer, as it is Labor
Day Weekend and will be heading off to the Notre Dame Game against Purdue, followed by a Sunday Labor Day Party at our lake house....so it will be a busy weekend

Indianapolis 500 Race Day

Went down to the Indianapolis 500 race.  We stayed in a Hostel for the first time and what an experience,
I'm sure the Tecno Twins were in the next room.  Started the evening with a pre-race party in a lovely home
owned by some good friends in Indy.  My husbands brother and his wife come down to the race every year
from Atlanta, Georgia and it's always exciting spending time with them.  Up early and we all meet in a parking
lot and then are escorted by a police escort into the race track.  We are treated to a breakfast buffet by a good man who does this every year for our group.  We draw names for racer's and then head off to the track
to take our seats.  This year our driver won and we ended up with $700 dollar win.  Was hoping we would
be able to get a nice room and pass on the hostel for the night, but no such luck!!!  Another great race with
great people and great weather....could not ask for more...

CHICAGO CUBS GAME WITH THE GIRLS

Friday, April 30th went with girls to Cub's Game.  Weather was perfect, Cub's played Great with several
home runs hit.  Dancing afterwards and then homeward bound.  Was a Great day.

HEADING TO THE INDY 500 THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!

Little 500 in Bloomington

Went to the Little 500 in Bloomington.  Started with concert by Snoop Dog,
it was held outside on the Bloomington Campus.  Snoop Dog was one artist
that sounds like his original music and he put on a great show. You could
smell the weed in the air from every angle and he ended his show with
three things to remember.  One when you first wake up in the morning,
always brush your teeth, two thank God for giving you another day, and
three smoke some weed.  The crowd went crazy.  I must confess the entire weekend was covered by security on every corner, even entering
the apartment complex. Off to the bike race the next day and all went
well till near the end when a down pour of rain hit, and I mean down pour.

Fun weekend and if you have never been, it should be on the bucket list
of things to do......

CHICAGO  SPRING BREAK 2010 went to see the Billy Elliot Broadway first week in April with Paige
& Russ.  The show is one of the best Broadway shows I have ever seen, the young boys dancing were
amazing and so very talented.
