Taylor and I have been NASCAR fans ever since he was about 2 years old.
Someone gave him a model race car when his brothers were born
and we started watching the races on Sunday afternoons so he
could find that car going around the track.
Twenty one years later, we've not missed watching a race
and now that he doesn't live with me, we text each other
while we watch. We've been to a few races, too, which is
always fun! Today will be extra fun because I'm going with
Lauren and Taylor. So, there will be girl talk, too!
That's like the cherry on top! ha.

I've been to a couple of car races, and it was TOO NOISY to hear the person next to you!
ReplyDeleteThat's right! Haha...and you have to wear ear plugs if you want any hearing at the end of the day!
DeleteGreat fun! Love the photo.
ReplyDeleteI think Taylor is about seven years old there? :)
DeleteWhat fun!
ReplyDeleteI love this picture Betsy:)
He's so tiny! Aw.
DeleteAlways I think he is sweet and a lovely friend with you:))
DeleteWe've always gotten along great...so thankful for that!
DeleteYeah and you are alike with him!
DeleteHe is sweet.
With Ditto I have this Thanks God.
We talk a lot about all and soccer indeed:)
Oh how fun that you have shared this love for so long. Have a blast today with your big kids.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure we'll have fun! And I don't have to hold his hand to make sure he doesn't get lost in the crowd. Ha.
DeleteWhat a great history to have with your lad - and now with his lovely bride. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure we will! But it's suppose to rain! That would seriously dampen our fun....pun intended! Ha.
DeleteWhat a great picture of Taylor and the car - so pleased you posted this.
ReplyDeleteA great shared interest with him and a bonus having Lauren along too.
Enjoy your special day together . . . . . I am so excited for you . . . hugs :)
I'll take my camera, of course! Ha. Thanks Ed. :)
DeleteHave a great time! That picture is adorable!
ReplyDeleteIsn't he cute? Aw.
DeleteHappy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy for all of you!
ReplyDeleteWe're happy too because our guy won! Yippee! Lovely weather, too. Traveling home now.
DeleteI used to try to teach Ben math facts by race car drivers and numbers. Worked great until they started switching numbers.
ReplyDeleteJimmy Johnson + Jimmy Johnson no longer equals Jeff Gordon.
Two jeff Gordons do equal one Jimmie johnson, though. :)
DeleteHa! I guess they do. I can't remember anymore how all that went. All I remember now is that some of the numbers changed and left me confused. Apparently I'm still confused.
Delete:0)
haha...well, you did give me a good chuckle on that one. Those two drivers have never changed numbers....probably the only ones that haven't!
DeleteDoesn't that just figure? (My blond hair is showing again.) *blush*
DeleteANd they're the only two I remember... or actually don't. ha ha!
That does make for a very funny blonde joke...but I was going to let you call it that!
DeleteActually, I admire you doing a math lesson during the race!
Enjoy the race
ReplyDeleteWith those two too a great embrace
Enjoy we did
DeleteAnd now just a little bit
Not far from my house is the famous Mallory Park racetrack. So famous in fact that no-one in America, or anywhere else it seems, knows about it. I used to go every Sunday with Steph when we were just good friends. Now I'm older I find the noise and the fumes a little nauseating. On Wednesdays, practice day, and Sunday Race Days the noise from there is still loud enough to spoil our quiet afternoons in the garden.
ReplyDeleteYou and Stephanie would get along well, it seems you are both racing car fanatics.
Yes it seems Stephanie and I would get along well!
DeleteHave a great time at the races!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are! Lovely new photo, Cat!
DeleteI hope that you had a wonderful time watching the racing and doing some girly chatting with Lauren!! xx
ReplyDeleteHaving a very fun time! Thanks Amy.
DeleteThat's a great fun memory. Good for you guys. 🚗
