Car races and sliver shoes

One of mbh's colleagues invited us to the car races! I never would have imagined myself at a car race but it was lots of fun and I was as fascinated by the other members of the audience as I was by the cars. I felt this longing to go and sit and chat with people and ask them about their lives and their interests and their tattoos. In the first race, no. 17 had a whole crew of friends and family wearing t-shirts to support him so i joined them in cheering no. 17 on. It is really difficult to pass a car in front of you it seems but he passed first one then another and then another until he won the race by a long shot. It was quite exhilerating.

In other news I was somehow inspired to buy some silver shoes on our trip to Marshalls this weekend. On later reflection I decided the only explanation was Hannah's recent influence though i wasn't aware of this at the time. anyhow i love them.

mbh always loves a trip to Marshalls. He loves to buy discount gadgets and has really found some high quality items that he uses often like designer leather laptop bags, white shirts etc. This week he bought a tent and a battery powered lantern. Neither of us know the first thing about camping but we are prepared if we ever have the opportunity to go on a camping trip. Maybe Bonita and family will invite us to go with them one day. I always read her camping stories with awe and admiration.

The yinyang ottoman in the picture with the silver shoes is also from Marshalls

as well my ten dollar antique looking vase with the Chinese character for "double happiness" that is a symbol of marital harmony.
