Jennings - September 2009

What a great weekend!

The weather had forcasted a 40% chance of rain, but the Lord saw fit to keep it dry!
There were no serious crashes and that is a huge PRAISE THE LORD.

Brett came in 1st place in D-Superstock, 1st place in Clubman, and 7th place in
C-Superstock. He did run off the track and crash in the C-Superstock race, but he was ok and managed to pick up his bike (by himself - I don't know how!) and get back on the track. He then came in for a re-tech on his bike and took off again to finish the race. That boy is no quitter!

You can only imagine what it feels like to stand and wait for your son to come back around the track and know that too much time has passed and you still have not seen him go by! You know that something has gone amiss, but you don't know what. We are so blessed to have the wonderful folks at WERA that always try to find David and me and let us know what is going on. Not to mention what a great God we have that answers our prayers for Brett's safety!

The only thing that really drove us/me almost totally nuts was the love bugs. They were EVERYWHERE! We sprayed bug spray, we lit citronell candles, we put fabric softners all around us! and yet, the little bugs would not go away! Fortunately, they do not bite or sting. I wish I had known about them before we went on the trip.
When I got home, the first thing I did was go to the internet! I discovered that if you put Dawn, Joy, or some other dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle mixed with water, it will kill the little pests! We will hang on to this for future reference!

We met some really nice people at the track. Bill and Leigh (I hope I am spelling her name right). Their last name is Hayes. This did not even register with me until Leigh said that her nephew raced with the AMA's. I said, "Oh really! What is his name?" To which she replied, "Josh Hayes". Boy did I feel STOOOOOPID! We found out that Bill taught Josh how to ride. I look forward to seeing them again soon.

Thank you all for your interest and prayers for Brett.
Please continue to pray for Brett's phantom pain to decrease each day.
Please pray for him to make good grades in college.
Please pray for him to follow God's will for his life.

Blessings to you all!
