More fun with cars!

Greetings, again. Pardon me while I finish this piece of humble pie. The Buick turned out to be a bit more of a problem than we expected and was on its way to being a 'Money Pit'. So......................we went to the Saturn dealer and asked for what we owed on it in trade for a Vue. Would you believe it?!!!!!!!!!!!!! The dealer actually gave the fully amount owed. Coupled with the discount for being related to a GM employee and some rebates, we have a new vehicle and not too bad of a payment. Just have to keep it until the grandkids are out of college!!!!!! :-) We do marvel at the Lord's provision and grace towards us. We are trying to more fully understand the reason for the Buick and the lessons to be learned. Just have to take better notes next time we go through that class!! Anyway, here is a picture of the new Vue. (A 'view' of the Vue!) Enjoy!

Another Thanksgiving in the Books!

Greetings, again. We are slowly recovering from the food fest known as Thanksgiving. Really did pretty good at not overeating. Of course, that is what I thought Turkey Day was all about!!!!! Aunt Janna arrived around 10:00 a.m. with no problems. Been shopping at some of the strip malls. Staying away from the people magnets today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally took pictures of the new sidewalk, so I figured I had better get them posted. Added a couple of other interesting photos along with them. Enjoy!

To ride the wind!

Well, we made it back home safe and sound and sad to have to leave. We had a great time with the grandchildren.............and with their Dad & Mom, also. :-) Thank you so very much for the excellent hospitality. Even got to ride the bike. I am a street bike rider, so I rode it like a street bike. But, I got to ride and it was fun! Have to practice and get better. I am going to try to upload the video. Enjoy!

A Visit To California

We were in anticipation of the visit and we have made the trip and are enjoying a great time! We stayed at a motel the night before the flight and have left the car at that motel until we return. It made the departing day much easier. We had the usual 'sleeping in a strange bed' feeling, but we did fine. Arrived in CA at noon and have been going ever since. Made a trip to San Diego for work, went to the beach twice; got to see our first 'home' as a couple, aka, apartment; stayed an extra day there, came back home, washed the vehicles and have been enjoying the time away from work with four of the five grandchildren and, oh, yeah, their Dad & Mom! It is a blessing! We are having a great time. Will hate to go home and will be looking forward to the next opportunity to visit. Here are some pics of the fam and the time in CA. Enjoy!

Hello again, everyone! Just thought I would take a couple of minutes before AWANA to post a text-only blog and see who was paying attention! Just haven't taken the time to update the blog as I should. Sorry! We are managing to keep busy with work, Church, the house,...........etc. We are off this weekend to see Nana's folks before they are off for warmer climes. Just to whet your appetite for pics, we are having the walkway by the garage bricked in along with the space between the patio and sidewalk. In addition, we are getting estimates for the front and back doors to be replaced. Should be an interesting Fall. Let you go for now. Take care. We send our love and prayers and look forward to the upcoming CA visit. We will try to remember to take our flame-retardant jammies!!! :-)

Is This An Engine or What?!?

Howdy! For those wondering what kind of horses power the old buggy, here are a few clicks of the camera to show ya! Enjoy!

Presenting Nana'a New Wheels!!

Greetings! Hope this finds you all well. The progress on the insurance is slow (DUH!), but we slog on. The paperwork on the new vehicle came through and Mom drove it home today. Must not have overwhelmed her too much. Already has a list of 'stuff' to do. 'There's a 'cricket-squeak' in the dash when I go over a bump', When do I get the NOX system? :-), 'The front seat cup holder is broken!'..................................! Anyway, it is done and I have taken some pictures to show it off! Enjoy. Now, that's a TRUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
