My New Car

OK, so I normally don't blog about myself, but I'm trying to catch people up with what's been happening.  My beloved Civic of 6 years finally left me stranded on the side of the road on the way to work one morning.  It had over 250K miles on it, and had been a great car.  Even though I always said I was going to pull the license plates and push it over a cliff some day, I reluctantly sold it to my mechanic for 200 dollars.  I just bought a used Honda Accord, and am hoping to get a few good years out of it. As most of you know, it's all about efficiency for me!  Good gas mileage, cheap used cars are the way to go for our family budget as well as the environment! Since my Civic was only a 2 door, I am happy to finally have something Gabe can get in and out of easier.

Yes...it's Purple!

Big Boy Bed!

Gabe really Loves his new Bunk Bed!  Although I do not allow him to sleep on the top bed yet, he sure likes to play up there!

 

On a side note....I know it's been a long time since I posted anything on my blog.  That is because we finally got tired of our Internet connection and cancelled our service in December.  We had been using a cell signal and it just kept getting worse and worse, until it was so slow we could barely send an email.  Since we have our smart phones, we decided to stop throwing our money away and just cancel the service.  Our rural telephone company began laying the Fiber Optic cables last May using a government grant to connect rural communities.  The service finally became available last week, and we were the first in line to get hooked up.  I will be able to blog, post pictures and videos with ease now!  We have stepped into the age of technology at our "place in the country"!
