Halloween is almost here! It's one of my favorite times of the year. I love to dress up and especially love to see the kids dressed up. It’s so much fun to me. Last year while we were in Vegas, I dressed up like an NHRA Cheerleader. I haven’t decided on this years costume yet. If I am home, I will be going to my friend Brooke’s birthday party. A costume party, of course. I’m not sure yet if I will be home though. I’ve actually been traveling a bit lately. This past weekend I was in Richmond, Va., for the races. It was kind of a last minute thing and I wasn’t too sure how I was going to take it because of my last two episodes at the races, which were in Gainesville and Indy, but this time was different. I’m not sure if it was because the bikes were not there, or because I am just feeling better about it, but I was really happy to be there from the moment I got to the track.
A couple weekends before that, I went to Orange Beach, Ala., with my parents for a Shriners event. Seth had to work so unfortunately he couldn’t make it. My dad and I hung out on the beach together while my mom went to a tea party. They had to create their own themed hats for the party. Here’s a picture of me wearing the one my mom made. We also had a door decorating contest and best of all, a luau. We had a blast! My dad’s Shriner friends are wonderful people and I really enjoy being around them.
I’ve also been busy at home. Besides studying and the usual Coral Fever stuff, I am now working with a company called G Smith Motorsports. They are a locally owned Bourget Bike Works Motorcycle Dealer located in St. Rose, La. Bourget Bike Works is well known in the motorcycle industry for its unique custom designed motorcycles. BBW is ranked one of the top motorcycle builders in the custom motorcycle world.
This is from the press release:
Glen Smith, co-owner of G. Smith motorsports comments, “A partnership between G. Smith Motorsports and Angelle Sampey is a perfect match. As we move forward with major event rallies and fundraising activities across the south, we are proud to have Angelle represent our business. Angelle’s dedication to the racing industry and her drive to be the best align with the G. Smith/Bourget business philosophy. We strive to be the best in product, sales and service to our clients.”
Angelle’s first public appearance representing G. Smith Motorsports is Saturday, Nov. 7 from noon until 4:00 p.m. at Louisiana Custom Cruisers Benefit Car Show in Boutte, La. Angelle will showcase her new Bourget motorcycle provided by G. Smith Motorsports, as well as sign autographs and take pictures with fans. Come join us.
I am very excited about this opportunity. G Smith Motorsports is involved in lots of charities that I am proud to be a part of.
Speaking of Charities. I want you guys to know about one in particular that is very close to my heart. It’s called Jaylen’s Challenge. The website address is http://www.jaylenschallenge.org
This site is the dream of a wonderful little boy named Jaylen. Jaylen suffers from Tourette Syndrome. He wants to educate people about bullying, bringing attention to the difficulties he faces in his day to day living . He hopes to make you laugh, make you cry, but most importantly make you aware that those with disabilities are not only normal - but incredibly special people. With your help and support he can spread the word and teach people to help ... not bully
The reason that this is so close to my heart is because my nephew Logan has Tourette Syndrome. It’s such a terrible thing for other kids to bully such sweet children like Logan and Jaylen for something that they don’t understand. So if you guys have kids, or even if you don’t, please take a moment to look at Jaylen’s site. Help your kids to understand what Tourette’s is, and that they should never bully or tease a child that has it. Help them to understand that they should never bully anyone for any reason.
Well that’s about all that I have for you guys today. I wish you all a very SPOOKtacular Halloween! Be safe and Have Fun!! I know I will!
One day Boudreaux went to the doctor to get a check up. Boudreaux says to the doctor, "Mais you know something doc ... my wife Clotile, she's having trouble wit her hearing."
De doc say, "Well Boudreaux, how bad is it?"
"Mais doc I don't know how bad it really is but she don't seem to hear me at all. What's de best way to find out how bad her hearing is?"
De doc say, "Boudreaux, when you get home stand about 20 feet behind Clotile and say something in your regular voice. If Clotile don't respond then move up 10 feet and try again. If you don't get any response again move up five feet and try, then if you don't get any response move right up behind her and try."
When Boudreax got home, Clotile was wash dem dish in de sink so he get about 20 feet back and say, "Clotile what we havin for dinner?"
