Summer Flying By!







NASCAR Day





The Top of Mt Washington!




Check out the calves!







Been busy here this summer! A few weekend trips to N.H....one for Dave to do bike races up Mt. Ascutney in VT and then the next day the Mt Washington "training"ride in NH! The real ride is in August! He is crazy! He did the Mt Washington ride in 1 hour and 26 min....it would have taken me 2 days! Emma and I met him at the top, since they are not allowed to ride their bikes down!



Then the next weekend we went back up to NH for Dave to use his 40th B-day gift... the Ride of a Lifetime at NH Motor Speedway and Richard Petty Driving! He got to do 30 laps, in his own NASCAR, with a driver/trainer pacing him in front. He got the top speed of 116 mph that day! He also got the fasted lap time too, like 38-39 seconds around the track. We had a ball watching him and being on the track with the pit crew and drivers!


Emma has been busy with horse camp, a few days at gymnastics camp, seeing movies (Space Chimps is next!) being in the pool, chillaxin like a 7 1/2 y.o. should be doing! She starts back at her new school, Sacred Heart, Aug 25th! They go early but are out earlier! She is very excited for her new school and I am excited about uniforms!!! So far I spent about $325 for all her uniforms, and just need socks/tights and shoes! Not bad for back to school spending!

I am doing well...still working up my GI issues! I met with the GI doc a few days ago, and she feels it could be an allergy (lactose or glutin) or just IBS, since my ultrasounds and CT Scans are all normal. So that is good, I guess! I had a bunch of labs done the other day to check for some allergies, and thyroid levels. Then 8/27 I get to have an upper and lower endoscopy....oh joy! But I need one anyway given my pain symptoms and family history! I hope they have really big vials of Versed and Fentanyl for me!! I may have to bring my own, just in case they do't have enough!

That is it for now....enjoy the photos!!!
