OT - It was a long drive and other such stuff
but worth it to see DD1 mix it up with the "big boys"! Yuppers her first
go-kart race of the year is tomorrow night. Tonight she had practice and was actually doing a good job of holding her own against a lot of kids who've been racing for 2/3 years. Even the national champion was out there and his dad complimented Mads on how much she'd improved since he last saw her. And she has - we checked back on some of her past laps at that track and since late November she's dropped 13 seconds a lap! Pretty good for an 8 year old who's only been driving less 'n six months! And the even better news......she's achieved the time goal we set her so we'll be getting one or two new QIs! Feline variety. We checked out the shelter today but nobody "grabbed" us and there weren't any in the big kitty pen, so we'll wait and keep checking. -- Sharon from Melbourne Australia (Queen of Down Under) http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/craft.html (takes a while to load) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shazrules/my_photos (same as website but quicker) |

This kid is amazing - 9 years old (and way more petite than Mads who is 8
and quite tall) and has been driving and durn well for 2 years. They don't have the flashiest karts or the most money or expensive things, it is his exceptional skill that makes him stand out. That and (to me) the fact that he is such a nice, gorgeous, polite kid. Even being champ and so good for so long has not given him an ego yet we spoke to another kid and asked him if he'd mind helping maddy by chasing her down and seeing how many laps it took to catch her, he came back with "I won't need to catch her 'cause I'll be in front with Ricky (champ) and they won't catch us. This race is only for us to get another trophy". Grrrrrrrr... -- Sharon from Melbourne Australia (Queen of Down Under) http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/craft.html (takes a while to load) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shazrules/my_photos (same as website but quicker) "Jessamy" wrote in message ...

Mads says thank you. She slept late today, is having a good hearty
breakfast (weet-bix and cartoons) and is excited as all get out! -- Sharon from Melbourne Australia (Queen of Down Under) http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/craft.html (takes a while to load) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shazrules/my_photos (same as website but quicker) "Patti" wrote in message ...
