Last week was our first, official week of school. It was also our very first homeschool co-op, which meets every Friday with about 25 other children. So, after hitting the books a fun weekend was in order, but we didn't have any plans, other than stacking wood on Saturday. That isn't in the fun catagory for the kids because it involves spiders, getting hot, and working. 
Saturday night, I got a call from Nathan's orofacial myologist (she retrains lip and tongue muscles for proper speech - I'll do another post about her because she's amazing.) She had some connections with the owners of Bandimere Speedway and was able to get us tickets for Junior Dragsters on Sunday. But it was more than that; we got a tour of the press box and command center, and Nathan had a chance to ride in a dragster as it was being towed back after the race. I cannot say enough good about John Bandimere and his son-in-law Larry, two kind and godly men.
Aaron took the kids back to the track on Monday for High School Drags, where high schoolers bring their own cars to race, and also get to race against police cars. They were there the whole day and had a blast.
Nathan got to ride in the winner's car after the race going down the drag strip FAST! He gave Nathan one of his two trophies he had won that day. You can imagine how perplexed I was when they came home with Nathan holding a trophy as big as himself which said "Winner of the High School Drag Race." My question was, "Aaron, you didn't race your truck, did you?!" Then everyone talked at once telling me the story.

That is WONDERFUL news! What a great, caring and thoughtful Dr.! Glad you all had so much fun.
Darlene - wish you could go to Titus II Tuesday with Becky and I tonight.
Betsy, I wish I could too! Say hi to Becky. Is it at Karen's?
Good morning,
Titus II is held at Donna King's mansion. Karen is still the coordinator, or whatever her title is. Gertrude taught on how to have a passion for Christ. It was good. I got to see my friend, LaTonya, who I haven't seen in years. Her daughter, Angel, has an album that will be released later this month. She is out on tour promoting it! Karen and Ron leave today to go on the same cruise Dennis and I will be taking next month. They are celebrating their 45th Anniversary. Praise God!
Love you!

WOW. I am so happy for him, what a wonderful treat! Your conclusion about how he got the trophy is so funny! I wish I had been there. Did the girls like it as much as Nathan?
Yes, they thought it was the most fun since the rodeo.
Of course, I'm thinking, what are we going to do with that great big trophy?
So CLOSE to my heart! [and Ripper WON again Aaron]
