Hot August Nights and Changing Times!
Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2007 12:45 am
Well, first, today is the first official night of Hot August Nights here in the area! We're all looking forward to it this year!
If anyone is interested, they are offering the same webcasts that they have in past years! The webcasts will be live between Aug 8th thru the 11th. If you like classic cars, you've got to see it!
I'll post the link before the webcasts go live. If you want to just look at the photos. go to either:

It's been sort of a real crazy few weeks in our life here. Both our son Ryan, and our adopted, sort of son Daniel have joined the Army. It's been a real crazy month of mommy melt down here as they made up their minds about the branch of service they thought would work for them. Daniel wanted to get into MP or OS patrol. None of the branches have a need right now. Ryan wants computers in some area. They both decided on the Army. Ryan will be going into his dream job. He excelled in all testing above average. He could go into intelligence if he wished, but he wants to go into computers. Daniel will be going into combat as an armored scout. Ryan ships out Sept 12th. BTC in Fort Benning and AIT in Fort Gordon GA. He won't graduate until next June. Daniel goes to Ft Knox KY on the 27th of September. He graduates next March and will most likely go straight to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Emotions are running really high around here these days! We'll get to enjoy one more Hot August Nights together, the balloon races and then Ryan will be leaving. We'll have Dan around for the air races and Street Vibrations... and then he leaves.
We're proud parents, don't get me wrong! But, Ryan is basically the last to leave after 34 years of parenthood. If I had my way, he would have finished college here. But, the Army is offering him a bachelors degree after 4 years of service instead of the associates degree he'll get if he keeps going to college. Man, how do you argue that? Daniel won't get the credits Ryan will, he'll be in combat zones, but that's what he wants right now.
Anyway, if I'm not around this next month or so, it's because I'm taking what little free time I have with the boys. Or....... I'm having a mommy melt down somewhere LOL! I've had kids leave before, just not this way. And of course, not my baby LOL!
Yep, pretty soon Warren and I will be left to our own devices around here. That's another real scary thought after all these years of kids coming first!
If ya get a chance though, check out the cool cars around the 8th of August on the webcast. Or just check out the photos! These cars come from all over North America for this event!
