Wow! What a dream. Walking out the front door of a beautiful brand new farm house that looks over a motocross track. Behind the house, and beyond the track stands a newly built red barn w/a stable that's housing two sheep and is soon to be the home of a thoroughbred horse for their daughter. Beautiful green meadows and hills surround....it must be a dream.
Actually it IS a dream...that's come true for our friends John and Sonja Stevens, and their three kids: Jacob, Josh and Sara Joy. They built this beautiful farm house while living in their motor home and it's all paid off. This house is spread out so nicely and there's lots of room for each kid, all of whom I informed that I'm now going to move in with them and become their big sister. Just kidding. We enjoyed teasing...
Today the Stevens' invited us and a few other families out to ride their track. While the boys mastered the track quickly, I too found myself to ride extremely well. It was windy and gusts would push our bikes off to the side...just made it more exciting...so I didn't do all the jumps I wanted for fear of doing something stupid. However, I anticipate the next time we're invited out so I can hammer everything. Riding at Zaca has truly made me a better rider (and the boys as well.)
Tomorrow the boys and I are working and riding at Zaca, then we're heading with our surfboards to Refugio State Beach to participate in a "paddle-out" memorial for Lindsay Rose, whom I mentioned in my last post. I recently learned that another Jr. Lifeguard pulled Lindsay out of the water and performed lifesaving skills on Lindsay. I must say this represents the true quality of our program. This girl knew exactly what to do, and being that Lindsay was her best friend, that had to make it so much harder for her. I highly admire this Jr. Lifeguard and pray for her as she grieves the loss of her friend. May she be comforted in knowing that she did everything right for her friend.
Yesterday I had a mole removed off my tummy. (My doctor's daughter also was a Jr. Lifeguard and was friends with Lindsay.) He saw this mole and told me he had 3 malignant melanomas this week....eeeks! I'm so bad. I'm trying to not think about it until I get the results in a few days. eeeeks, though.
Oh well....looks like we're stuck with this awful wind for the rest of the day. I hate the wind! It makes people all freaky-like, especially dirt bikers!
Here's to a good day for you...until we blog again!
