This past week was a bit of a drag. But then it ended with a great day!
This week I lost all my hair. I had the cute haircut a month ago. Then it started falling out, like we knew it would. So I had my kind friend give me a close buzz cut. Then, the next day, it continued to fall out in clumps and looked very mangy. So, Saturday night Matt helped me shave it completely. It’s quite a change! But thank the LORD He gave me a good skull. ;-)
Saturday morning, early, Tim and I drove to Talladega to a Breast Cancer Survivor’s event. It was sponsored by Chevy, so the event included a “drive-along” with a NASCAR driver. For those of you who don’t know, NASCAR is the organization that races stock cars around oval tracks all over the US.  It’s a big deal – no, a HUGE deal in the Southern U.S. So, when the opportunity arose to participate in this truly Southern event, I could not say no.  I took Tim with me, who was keen to meet the two NASCAR drivers we knew we would meet.
Ryan Newman (#31) – who came in 5th at the big race on Sunday, was my driver around the track. In the video below he and fellow driver Austin Dillon (#3) were talking about their first lap in the pace car. We went 160 miles per hour! It was crazy fast! And a ton of fun. Better than any rollercoaster. Really.
So, I guess I could say Ryan blew my hair off.

  1. Lisa, estás guapa igual, pues tu belleza está en ti. Esto es lo que mi sobrina me escribió a mi (mas o menos) cuando volví a casa con mi parálisis facial tras la operación. Con un parche en el ojo y la cara plana en mi lado izquierdo, sin oído de ese lado y con un montón de problemas para hablar, comer, ... Pero, el Señor me sacó también de allí, y hoy en día puedo llevarlo mucho mejor, eso sí, tras otras 6 operaciones. Ahora a mis 62 años, ya no importa tanto, pero cuando me pasó tenía 36. Y fue muy duro, como lo es para ti ahora. Pero también de esto se sale. Ten confianza, pues el que te sostiene, sigue teniendo todo el poder.
