Amanda,
Shirley's protege is Hilary Will, who is a great little driver from CA. My son painted one of her helmets that was auctioned off for charity after she only wore it once. Son worked at the race track in Las Vegas a few years ago and is working on maybe going to work with one of the race teams. I got him the store signage when Heart Like a Wheel came out on DVD a year or two back. Now that we've bored everyone else........ |

oops..wow! I just noticed I've been tagged...o.k. here goes...
1.) I was born in Pahokee,FL never have been back to Pahokee since..only reason I was born there was because that was the closest hospital to the town my folks lived in at the time..and to this day the town does not have a hospital.(the town was Indiantown,FL.)
2.) As a kid we had the following animals as "pets": squirrels,wood thrush bird,raccoon,skunk,mockingbird,possum and any other type of stray that found us. We even hatched alligators out from eggs.(my dad was a backhoe operator for a large grove and sometimes the alligator nests would accidentally get destroyed..so that's how we were able to watch alligators hatch out/he brought a few eggs home in his lunch box/the alligators were then given to an outdoor classroom/zoo facility that would teach children about Florida Wildlife.
3.) I can't shoot the broad side of a barn..as my dad used to say when he'd try to get me to practice shooting the rifles.
4.) I am deathly afraid of water and can't stand bridges either.
Our family was supposed to be driving to church in Clearwater,FL the day the large Skyway bridge collapsed..we'd have been on the bridge the day of the disaster had not one of my sisters become ill and the entire family stayed home because of it. I have hated bridges ever since...but the fear of water came from nearly drowning at age 9...and also from my grandmother..when my mom was 12 my granny was driving the truck they had and took the kids to the marina..the marina did not have guard rails just a parking bump..she accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake and the truck went over into 12 ft. of water. Everyone escaped but my grandmother never drove again...and was afraid of water too after that.
5.)My husband and I knew each other for only 1 month and 20 days before getting married..and most of our conversations were done via long distance phone calls...but we've been together for 18 yrs. now.
6.) I was a middle child..I had an older brother..he was 2 yrs older than me(he died when he was 24)..and I have 2 half sisters that are twins..they are 3 yrs younger than me.
7.)When I was a kid I used to want to learn to pilot an airplane..and loved to watch this darling red biplane fly over the fields across the road from my house.
I used to love to go to the antique fly ins as a kid.I still think sometimes about trying out for a pilots license.I have even helped a pilot for a commercial airline study for a pilots test before..so who knows?..maybe one day I'll just go for it and learn...and who knows..you may see a red biplane tipping it's wing at ya...and it just might be me.:0)
o.k...I tag...

Here you go Nay! Thanks for taggin me.....
1. I have strongly disliked dogs my whole life...I got one in December and secretly I just want to take her with me everywhere I go. And I know she understands exactly what I am saying to her.
2. my husband still gives me butterflies everytime he walks into the room.
3. I used to be against soda, but since I married my husband I have developped a Dr Pepper addiction.
4. Drs and hospitals totally freak me out, so I never go.
5. I am a fabric hoarder..I never knew how bad until I recently set up my sewing room with a hanging bar just for cloth...I have 3,000+ yards, and I never seem to have just what I need and have to go buy more.
6. If I could grow enough clematis..the purple Jackmanii...I would love to build a play house out of wire for it to grow on, for me to play in..not neccessarily my kids.
7. If my husband were game I would keep having kids until my uterus fell out, just because I love them..and that feeling as the placenta separates and emerges.(I know I am really bizarre.)

Okay thanks, I guess I can do this, first random thing,
I never reply to those tag you are its.lol, really! I am only doing this one because I love smoothiejuice, she is great.So must be it's a good one.
2. I am a gypsy at heart, because I want to travel the world, but I love being at home,so I need one of those carts.
3. It would have to be a big cart, since I have 7, going on 8 children and I would need a dry place for the sheep to sleep too.Oh, and my hubbby.
4. My daddy is a Baptist pastor and I have a tatoo!!!
can that count for 2 things?
5. I cannot live without being near water. I grew up on lake Ontario, and have lived by rivers or creeks ever since, although they are just a substitute.
6. I know when I am going to win something, I can't say why, but I get a certain feeling and I have never been wrong. Wish I could be so accurate about what the next baby will be!
7. I used to procrastinate, but when I turned 30 I decided not to anymore, sooo, when I am late now it's because I want to be.

Ok I just saw that Tina tagged me!
So here goes;
1) I love to eat liver and onions....mmmm but don't get to very often becuase no one in my family will eat it.
2) I am addicted to hot tea. Drink it year round.
3) I love to read and would rather read or sew than anything else.
4) Two weeks after dh and I married we moved 6000 miles away from our families. :)
Military not by choice of course. We sort of had a three year honeymoon in Hawaii.
5) My favorite color is anything that looks good on fabric.
6) I held out for twelve years before I would have a dog and then we got two.
7) I live in NJ and my best friend lives in Texas.
I guess those are random.
I tag Bonne!

Oh, my........
1. I practically exist on peanut butter.
2. I've never eaten a hamburger (that I can recall)
3. I try to learn at least 1 new thing a year. Last year was canning & treadling. This year, so far, snowshoeing.
4. I used to get creeped out by red-headed "boys" as a kid. Now I'm married to one!!! LOL
5. I even have red hair myself, now. Natural (henna-ed) whodathunk?
6. I despise travel that takes more than 2 hrs to get someplace~in fact, I'm so content with where I am, I'd not miss going anywhere (farther than 2 hrs) for the rest of my life.
7. I got my BA in Accounting and worked at that for 10 yrs. Gawd, that was dry....

Bonne tagged me, so here are 7 things about me:
1. I have 3 kiddos (7, 5, and 3), a husband, a dog, 13 chickens, and 2 cats
2. I'm on the school board at my kids' Christian school
3. I'm a stay at home mom with 3 little jobs (babysitting, bookwork for my husband's fish farm, and machine embroidering onesies)
4. I LOVE NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!! (no, not the city, the less populated areas). My husband and I both grew up in western NY and hope to return to the area someday
5. If not western NY, the Adirondacks (we lived there for 3 years)
6. If not western NY or the Adirondacks, then central NY.
7. We live in Ohio, which is nice, but. . .not NY (I'm really NOT obsessed, NY is just a great state to live! It's also near family, which counts for a lot)
8. I have a BS in biology and an MS in environmental studies and it drives me
ABSOLUTELY CRAZY when people say things like, "doesn't it make you mad that you're wasting your education and JUST staying home with your kids?" (and it still surprises me, though I've heard it many times, that people would dare to say something like that out loud!) Well, the answer is NO! I'm blessed to he able to! And if they know a bit more about biology/the outdoors than some kids, well, all the better! There's nothing wrong with that!
9. I really want to become a great gardener (my second year with a garden!) I wish I had a mentor or something!
10. I want to learn how to make soap! (and my husband wants me to also!)
I'll say I'd like to tag PlumCreekMama, since she always answers my chicken questions! Thanks!
I don't know how to email her to tell her she's tagged, so if anybody would like to notify her, that'd be great! Thanks.

Thanks for tagging me, Sheila!
Here are 7 things about me:
1. I have 2 sons, Tate who's 3 and Sullivan who's 1; 12 dogs, 15 cats, 4 mini horses, 13 pygmy goats, 9 ducks, and many chickens.
2. I love just about any crafts- cross stitch, quilting, tatting, sewing, scrapbooking, and I'm learning to crochet.
3. I love to read and use to do a lot of writing- I would like to get back into writing, maybe writing some children's books.
4. I am a SAHM and raise Shih Tzus and Shelties, plus pygmy goats and I want to start selling at farmer's markets this summer.
5. I want to have a good sized garden this year, and actually keep up on the weeding! I already have rhubarb, strawberries, chives, blackberries, and raspberries, plus an overgrown herb garden that needs a little TLC. My garden was terrible last year and my herb garden ran away due to the fact that I had a baby.
6. I want to learn to ride a horse and teach Tate to ride as well. I worked on Tate a little bit last year with one of our minis that's broke, but he was pretty scared. Maybe this year since he's a little older.
7. Our hobby farm is on 5 acres in eastern Iowa. I have been busy planting trees since we moved here in 2003. The area is kind of flat, with nothing but fields, so I wanted to create an area with a lot of trees. There were already some walnut, oak, and dogwoods planted, so they are getting taller. I have planted willows, lilacs, maples, oaks, serviceberries, dogwoods, pine, chokecherry, and Rose of Sharon trees.
I tag Elizabeth (babysmama). |

I just noticed this - thanks for the tag, Heather!
1. I don't really like the 21st century. Besides the medical advances I could do without the more modern things. I'd be happy with a horse and buggy (most days!). But, I must admit, I do have a dishwasher, microwave, etc. It's just that I think we, as a society, want "more, more, more".
2. I am very frugal. I antalize everything before buying it and buy whatever I can used (except for underwear, that has to be new!). I frequent garage sales and thrift stores.
3. I love, love, love to read and write. I have a few penpals that I have been writing to for years (10+ years). I love to receive mail and I love pretty stationery and cards. I also free-lance and have been published in various magazines. I have shelves of books in my house and I love used book sales and paperbackswap.com
4. I love animals but am restricted with how many we can have since we live in town. We have two cats and a kitten and a big St. Bernard/German Shepherd dog. I would love an English Bulldog but think they are too expensive and they have been bred into too many health problems.
5. I am a hippy of sorts. I don't buy into the latest fashions and I am the only one around this neighborhood that hangs out laundry, uses cloth diapers, has a garden, has a compost bin, makes my own cleaners, etc.
6. I love to sleep!! 
7. My favorite season is spring and I so ready for it right about now. I also hate daylight savings time when we have to turn the clocks behind...it gets dark so early.
Well, dare I tag MaryJane Butters? You're it!!
