Twice in 1 week!

Things must be slowing down a bit, 2 posts in one week again...wasn't sure I would see the day again!

Rick is working out at his dads tonight. The kids and I just came in from swimming. I also got the lawn mowed, the pool cleaned, the spa cleaned and killed a wasps nest (our first and hopefully only one of the summer!).

Today started out pretty sad. This weekend there is a huge race in Kalispell, MT for the late model cars like Rick has. Practice started today and the race will be Saturday night. Last night a team from close by here (Ephrata) had gotten into MT when they blew a tire on their truck and lost control driving off the road and flipping off the embankment. The driver of the truck, who was the team owner, was killed. Christian Roeder (the driver of the racecar) was beat up pretty good, 2 of the crew members it sounds like have broken backs, and the others are bruised and battered pretty good. Mostly though they are all suffering from losing Frank. Christian supports our local kart club that the kids race in, coming down to help his nephews. He is just a great guy and Rick and I have enjoyed so much visiting with him at the races this summer. We didn't know Frank well but still getting this news was just gut wrenching. Please keep them and their families in your thoughts and prayers the next few days as we will be.

Well the kids are asking for assistance in the teeth brushing department. Its 9 and they should have been in bed already so I'm on it.
