I Learned From Him

Whew...I've been busy for the last few days.  Working until 9:00 at night now is not uncommon.  It is so wierd.  In the winter I am practically in bed by 9:00.  In the summer it isn't dark until 10:30.  I printed up brochures for my winter events.  I need to really "push" those as they help get me through the winter...financially. 

I went for a walk yesterday.  I was listening to my iPod as I walked.  I listened to songs that reminded me of Ray so much.  I got very sentimental.  I had tears in my eyes.  There were a couple times that my emotions ran through my body so strong I literally thought I was going to pass out.  I get that feeling a lot.  It is so strong my body almost loses all control and I think I am going to fall over.  Sometimes I wish I would.  I wish I would just drop. 

I am so excited about going to the NASCAR race tomorrow.  THANK YOU Marguerite and Shannon (for taking care of breakfast for me)!!!  Yesterday I made potato salad and fried chicken legs.  Got all my gear ready...seat cushions, cooler, food, chairs for tail-gating, race headphones, etc.  My friend Kelly is going with us.  I asked Tony but he replied "no" immediately when I asked if he wanted to go.  It will be sooo fun.  Four of us in my truck heading to the race.  I will be a total red-neck tomorrow.  Especially with my truck!!  Well, my truck is actually way too nice to be red-neck, but I'll make all the red-neck's jealous with my beautiful truck!  I degress....

I got my lawn cut last night.  It looks so great.  I've been keeping it treated just like Ray would.  I didn't realize how much I really learned from Ray.  So much of my cooking skills are from watching him.  Taking care of the lawn I learned from him.  And, truly enjoying life I learned from him.  I leared a great deal of quality life styles from Ray.  I miss him.  I miss him so much. - Jimmy
