NASCAR and Other Important Stuff

This morning was busy.  I filled the birdfeeders, did dishes, dusted, ordered twenty trees (some for me and some for Kevin), and updated my blog.  This afternoon was take my walk, take out the trash, and picked up the mail.  After supper I have been watching NASCAR.  I can’t believe I am hooked on NASCAR.

Another beautiful day in Alabama.  It is going to reach 70 degrees.  That is perfect as far as I am concerned.  I have opened the windows to let in the fresh air.  Penny likes when I open the windows.  She loves to lay on top of my one piece of furniture that I have by my dining room window.  The birds keep her entertained.  Jim is probably beside himself watching what I allow Penny to do.  She climbs on everything.  I have decided life is too short to worry about it.  I just keep washing everything.  Besides, she is soooo cute J

I am trying to increase my walking times.  Instead of walking once a day to the mailbox/trash can I will be walking twice.  The doctors seem to think that will help keep my fibromyalgia and arthritis from getting too stiff.  Of course, it hurts like the devil when I am finished.  It is also supposed to help my breathing.  So far, it has not helped, but I will keep at it. 

I ran a few errands with Kevin this afternoon.  He bought a new truck – long story.  He now has a Ford F-250 4 wheel drive.  It is beautiful.  Anyway, he had to drop off some paperwork where he bought the truck, then we went to Lowes.  He bought Renea’s birthday present.  I didn’t buy anything (what a shock).  We then picked up his new truck.  He had taken it to have the fifth wheel installed in the bed. 

 
It' s kind of hard to tell the color, but it is not black.  The best description I can give is dark gray.

Last night I watched the NASCAR truck race.  Those drivers are so young.  I really enjoy watching them race.  They don’t hold anything back.  There was a major wreck with seven laps to go.  In fact, they red flagged the race to clean up the mess.  Seventeen cars were involved.  By the time they started the race again there were three laps left.  On the last lap there was another major wreck, and the race finished under a caution (new rules).  One of the cars in the wreck flipped/rolled 13 times.  The car was destroyed, but the young man got out of the car on his own and walked to the ambulance. 

I took the snowmen window clings off the front storm door and replaced them with some “Irish” shamrocks and men.  I decided since it is almost March it was appropriate.  I always have some clings on that door to help keep the birds from flying into it.  It has happened.

Took my walk this afternoon.  Only walked once because I was not having a good day.  Did walk over to Kevin and Renea’s to find out how Renea is doing.  She is having some health problems and I wanted to make sure she was okay.

Today Kevin took his first beekeeping class.  Seems he is planning to have beehives in our backyard, so he is taking a six week course on how to be a beekeeper.  Now when we buy our flowers, bushes and trees we have to be sure the bees will like them.  This should be a lot of fun.

This evening I watched the Xfinity NASCAR race.  Tomorrow is the Daytona 500.  Should be exciting.
