SURPRISE!

yeppers, I'm still kicking!

we slogged through the winter, we're dancing through the spring, and here we are at almost summer.
and with that, we're all caught up, so I'll start with May.

We went off to the Richmond race the first weekend.  We were surprised that they ran the race, as it had rained pretty much the entire day.  But, as soon as the cars started, the vortex kicked in and the rain held off.  Until the race ended. 

The second weekend was when the fun began.  We took the motor home down the road to the hagerstown speedway where they have the Fireman's Bonanza Extravaganza! every year.  We have a bunch of crazies that stay with us and i don't have to worry about anyone driving home.  butch actually took it down on Thursday.  while i worked all day Friday, the boys had spent the day recovering from Thursday night.  Way too much fun, and alcohol involved. AND once again, with all those prizes that they give away (at least 1,000 every 5 minutes), once again, NO ONE won anything.  had fun anyway!

we came home Sunday afternoon and made a quick turn around and unpacked and repacked the "beach house" and towing my little tsunami Subaru, we headed off to Hatteras island.  we spent 10 days down there in Frisco.  only came home the Thursday before memorial day, so we'd miss the crazies.

oh, I've got some pictures to post, and will fill you in on the monsoons of Hatteras next time.  but i will leave you with this.....

when we finally got home after 16 days, the first thing we did was to start unloading the refrigerator.  i loaded up a box, and handed it to butch and he left to take it into the house and never came back for the second box.  so i grabbed it and came in with it.  when i walked through the door, i didn't see butch.  then i saw his feet down on the floor sticking out behind the island.  i dropped the box on the table and ran around the island to see him on his hands and knees yelling at me to stay back, don't walk through it!  um, okay....walk through what?  well, it seems i gave him the box with eggs in it. 
oh....yes.... he...did. 
but as he was quick to point out, it wasn't a doz and a half like last time, it was only 3 or 4...or 6 (he sounded like he was at an auction)
