As you all know, my involvement in drag racing is not only business but pleasure (heavy on the pleasure side)!
The NHRA Pomona Finals were this past weekend and with realizing then not only the NHRA drivers have their legacy but so do we....Listening to Jack Beckman, the 2012 Funny Car Champion, made me think we are all creating our legacy for our family in so many ways! If it's ending one chapter of our lives or opening a NEW chapter, we want our children to remember us as their mentor or the one parent, grandparent who was cool! Like "the Snake" or the bald qeeky guy or the driver that was always on fire! LOL (guess that one? LOL)
As a mentor, we hope that we can leave something behind for all to remember what we were best at, loved to do, give a few words of wisdom to change others lives or memories that will never leave! We really shouldn't care as we will be dead! So why should we really care? Do we want to be remembered as a whiner, or the one that was positive and caring? You, tell me!
On the ending note, never take anything for granted....It's not only your moment but the legacy that could make a difference in someone else's life! Make your life the best "Legacy" for you first!
Be back soon! I promise.....:)

Next......CHAPTER!
Well, it sure has been a while, SO I'll just hit a few HIGH spots!
Since I've been gone, I have a new grandbaby! Lily Sue Ellen Doke...and the name fits her to a tee..
a "Lily" for sure! Bright, smiles, and beautiful...:). Now a little over a year old.
Also, I now have the perfect job! I travel, make my own hours, get to TALK, and love it! I can't contain the passion for working with Protect the Harvest! ( Living on a farm makes it even better)
The not-for-profit organization status is protecting our way of life...SO protecting farmers, ranchers. fisherman, hunters, pet owners from CRAZY extreme animals rights groups from destroying our food supply! We need to use common sense on this people! Mess with our farmers..and we will pay high prices and eventually no FOOD! Remember control the food...they will control you!
Right now, I am at a dear friend's house in Indy while attending the US Nationals...SWEET!
However, Issac decided to come in stronger ....and the rain cancelled the event for the day...:(
My wise choice of coming back to her house to get some good bonding of our friendship was very well deserved! Of course, with glasses of good wine in hand!
On a bad note, my mother-in-law passed on July 26...this year !Mary loved her family, especially her grandbabies, she was the glue on every dinner and family gathering. She was an awesome cook...and she taught my daughter, Angie, well! Angie will fill her shoes as the leader of the family!
I promise not to be gone long....be back soon! And remember to be yourself...and be honest with everyone!
