A Day with Gwen & Jim


Mike and his car in the pits


Loading his car in the trailer


Yesterday we went to the Pechanga RV Resort at the Pechanga Casino in Temecula to meet up with my cousin, Gwen, and her husband, Jim. They took us to the Pala Casino near there for the brunch buffet, which was excellent! We all played the slots for a while after lunch and ONE of us did really well...that would be GWEN! She also had done extremely well at that casino Friday night. Gwen & Jim's daughter, Jamie, called and wanted us to meet her at the race track last night. Her husband, Mike, was racing a super stock car for the 1st time last night. His dad has a race team and he just built a car for Mike (Mike is a California Highway Patrol Officer). He has 2 brothers that were also racing. His 17-year-old brother was racing with a broken arm (cast and all). So, off we went to Irwindale to the race track and had a great time. We just never know when we get up in the morning where we will be headed that day! (Have I mentioned lately that "THIS IS THE LIFE"?) We are going to get together with Gwen & Jim and her sister, Mary next week. We haven't met up with Mary yet, so it will be great to see her after 40 years. The last time I saw her she was only 10 years old.
