On Sunday, September 29, Michael, Amy and I headed east to Dover Delaware for the AAA 400 race at Dover International Speedway. This years race was especially significant because Amy finally decided to join her favorite man to see what in the world he sees in this silly racing stuff. I am here to tell everyone that she had a good time (maybe even a grayt time!) and actually enjoyed the race! And other than some residual ringing in her ears (yes, she did have a headset on but they didn't muffle the sound enough for her virgin ears), she enjoyed the walking, buffet and the fan zone. If you are on Facebook you can see some of the pictures from the day. I have a video of the flyover, my favorite part of any race, that I hope to post at some point.
The best part of the weekend for me was staying with the Anderson's. I would rank their homestead as one of my favorite places to be. Always welcoming, the home is set back on a lovely piece of property with a beautiful lane and woods that surround the house on 3 sides. The drive from their place this time of year is colorful as you can see from the following photos...

Seeing all of these colors I am once again reminded that Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the green of summer but the vibrant golds, reds and soft blue of the sky in fall is hard to beat in my eyes.
The dogs were glad to see me when I picked them up from the kennel and the afternoon was spent doing a little relaxing while I finished laundry and caught up on some shows that I tape during the week. This evening is tracking at my favorite central PA farm getting ready to enter a test this fall. Next time I may have some more pictures to post. Until then.
