We had the 2010 race at the Keep, and for the first time TwoTrees Racing (now Kelley Ridge Racing) was left entirely up to me! Once Brendan took over the broadcast booth for me, then Ian and Caitlan wer in charge of racing the cars, and I just sat back and watched. But yesterday I […]

We celebrated Hayley Estelle’s graduation at Eaglenest. Jeanne and Cliff had lots of good food and grilled hamburgers and dogs in the evening. We got to see the Hellyer family and lots of Clan. Here’s the graduate with Jerome, Janet and sweet Juliana.

This is the coldest it has been for several years–single digits. I always worry about Kelley Ridge when it is that cold, so I headed back after school knowing that they had already called off school due to low temperatures.

Just a quick summary. Friday night I went to Kelley Ridge and fixed tomato bisque soup, heart-shaped grilled pimento cheese sandwiches, and “janet salads” for the groupies.
