Brickyard 500

Since we are here in Indianapolis this month and there is a race this month we decided on a whim to go. Very spontaneous! It was a lot of fun, there was lots of people and it was very loud. Thank goodness for ear plugs. Our seats were next to the pit crews. I timed it between 14-16 seconds for a pit stop. it was crazy how fast it was.

Here are the Cars after they have finished there 1st lap around the track.

The only disappoint part of the whole day was as we were walking the mile back to the car (literally) there was an elephant ear stand so we thought we would get one. I went over and there elephant ears were the size of a paper plate. Hello! Is that how big an elephant ear is?

To Sewing or not to sew

Due to me being without a sewing machine I asked if anyone on the ward had one that I could borrow. I had brought some sewing projects with me due to the fact that I was told I could use a sewing machine at Elaine's. So since that didn't work out I still had these projects to finish.

I nice elderly women in the ward said that I could use hers. I was so excited. Dan and I went to pick up her machine and I attempted to sewing the next day. I spent 2 days trying to fix the machine then finally gave up.

So sorry Dan your scrub caps will have to wait a little longer.

What to do?

Well now that I am here and we have settled into our room, what do I do during the day?  I checked out a temp agency and you have to be a resident of the state with an Indiana Drivers' license. so that didn't work. I have books that I can read but that only goes so far. the search was on for free things to do in Indy. there is quite a bit. they have a free art museum, a zoo, a city market that is pretty neat and lots of parks and so on. I decided that I would go to the art museum today. I never thought I would be the person who would love an art museum. Granite so of the stuff wasn't my cup of tea. however there was a lot of interesting and neat things. I only made it through the first floor. I will have to come back another day to finish.
