Awhile back I sent an excited Tweet saying that I had just gotten recognized by a reader while I was at a local Native American gaming establishment and that I may have hugged her a little too hard and quite possibly acted like a total dork. That reader was my grade school husband's current wife, Beckie, and let me just say that I really like her. She and I have emailed back and forth several times over the past few years and seeing as how I married her husband approximately 50-some times in the 2nd grade at the school carnival, we share a bond.
So when she emailed me the other day I didn't even have to think twice about helping her out.
Not long after I met Beckie face-to-face her daddy, Zane Starr, had a stroke. She's been staying with him nearly full time, helping take care of him. He doesn't have any medical insurance and bless his heart, he didn't have any house insurance and suffered damage in the May tornado. He has lived in Seneca, MO, his whole life and evidently has a lot of friends because .....
Mr. Starr's friends have rallied around him and are holding a benefit truck and tractor pull this coming Saturday, November 8th, at 3:00 at the Seneca Saddle Club arena. Beckie tells me that there are supposed to be some guys from the Outlaw Nationals there, too. If you're a truck and tractor pull fan, you know that's a good thing!
So if you're local, love tractor pulls as much as I do and want to help someone out, head out to Seneca this Saturday afternoon!

"Grade school husband" - now that cracked me up!!!
I hope the benefit bring in lots!
I wanted to say thank you for posting this for me, and to anyone who might have come out on that dreadful cold day. We had a pretty good turn out and it meant so much to dad that his friends, family and neighbors were there to support him.
