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
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......

Luck have it, we were staying for two more nights, so did not have a flight to catch!
Next to Chicago for Spring Break taking daughter to Shop then a nice dinner followed by a Broadway
show Billy Elliot'
Easter Sunday and I started with Church, followed by a really nice
dinner and day with my Family!!! Wish everyday we could be eating like this.....but stuffed and ready to
relax...Love Spring and being out working on my Flower Garden and yard. Want to get some climbing
rose bushes this year! Decorating Lake house in Michigan as living here year round and it really is a Summer
house needing work. I love Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic, comfy white with pastels, she has a
lovely blog worth looking at to inspire the imagination.
