Life Through the Eyes of my Scattered Brian

  Yesterday in my post I talked about my nephew. I have told you all about  him and his racing career before. Such a young -looking boy  to be running so fast around  a track.  In the past I have spoken about how he learned to drive a stick shift so that he could drive a race car at the age of 14. Yep, thanks Chase for that scare  when you almost ran us in a mailbox. Chase sat on the pole at the age of  17, ARCA racing the day before the BUSCH series. He is the  youngest guy to ever sat on the pole and will hold that title since rules were changed a yr of so later.    Chase was the oldest of  four kids. There was Chase,  14 months younger was Sean,  and then there was Paige. We lost Sean when he was 8 to cancer. Then Ray and  his wife at the time adopted Cobi. Cobi came from Romania to  be a part of our family when he was just over a yr old.  I have four nephews, and three nieces. I also have five  grea...

Yucky morning. Foggy. Have you ever heard the old wise tale about amount of foggy days in AUGUST? The old wives' tale states that for every foggy morning  in August, there will be a snowfall during the upcoming winter. The first of August I start counting the foggy days, course by the time snow rolls around I tend to forget to count. Oh well, it's just an ole wise tale. Do you put any stock into things like that? Now this works, not an ole wise tale.    I love the scent of Rosemary so much that when I started having small panic attacks, I would use rosemary oil on a small piece of cotton and I wore it in a necklace around my neck. taking whiffs when I needed it. So, I was not surprised to learn that rosemary is used for its calming effect............................................ The scent of rosemary carries significant meanings, primarily associated with remembrance and devotion. It evokes emotional memories and symbolizes enduring qualities that defy decay . Addit...

  Hello, well, its been raining here, off and on, equal amounts every day since Tuesday, today is Sunday, and according to the weather app that comes on iphones, we will still  be getting rain till next Sunday. I did not mow before the rain, and that was going on two weeks. In need of some sprinkles from there guy, my yard had developed some, several good size dirt spots. So, thoughts were, cut after the rain.  haha, at this rate, I will need to bushhog my yard when the rain stops! Although, I have done some walk abouts, even a little work in the yard between rains, and into rains, until I can't do anymore.  My neighbor came over the other day and we stood out in the  rain talking. I love a good steady, not shivering cold rain. Used to love taking walks in them. But look what has opened since the rain started. Although I did not carry my  camera with me yesterday when I  did a walk about, I have to  say, rain makes a difference. Such a big differe...
