Charlie Kimball . . .

The Grand Prix was here in St. Pete this weekend. In fact, it's still here because we got almost 4" of rain yesterday that ended up postponing the main race until today. We all were VERY inspired by Charlie Kimball - the only Indy race car driver to EVER race with Type 1 Diabetes!! My son-in-law, Buddy, was fortunate enough to actually meet him yesterday & he couldn't say enough good things about him!! He showed him how his car is outfitted for his glucometer & how he not only has water but orange juice (in case his sugar goes too low) ready to flow through his helmet during the races! He signed some goodies for Jilli & was VERY interested in hearing all about her! So, we have become Charlie Kimball fans & hope you'll check him & cheer him on! You can learn more about him & see some pretty awesome photos of his car & how it's set up for him at his site: Charlie Kimball.

As always . . . peace, love & HOPE!!!!!

How AWESOME!!! It's amazing what people can do these days that would have been impossible when we were growing up! Jilli is SOOOOOO adorable! Happy Easter!
