As some of you might know, around September last year my old school bus made it's last voyage on my daily routes and was buried on Halloween at the bone yard for ancient dinosaurs....
and so in the middle of November my wife Mary goes out and finds a GMC Pick-up for $500......the body is rough but it runs like it's brand new.......
and then right after Thanksgiving our 1976 Two-Tone Gold Special Edition Mercury blew her motor leaving us strapped with just one vehicle again......
well this morning as I was trying to comment back and to the RAOC peoples......and I here a voice outside my front door yelling RRRRranndday........Rrrrrrandaaaaay.......
it was our mechanic and personal friend....so I am wondering what's up.....
I go outside and he tells me to get my shoes, we have to take a ride....
huh???
okay so I come in and shut down the computer and slip on my slippers...they pass for shoes....and we go for a ride...
He doesn't tell me where we're going ....
but it is a surprise from Mary....my wife......
we stopped at a little garage down by the Old McDonalds which has been turned into a used car lot....
he says.....you're choice. which of these do you want ? ? ?
as he pointed at 3 different minivans...
I looked at him. and said I have no money H......
No need my friend he says, Mary has already taken care of that.....
so I now have a little AstroVan I can go out and about and throw those newspapers at people's houses everyday.........
sorry I wasn't here all morning.....
but I will be trying to catch up with all of you guys during the rest of the week...I guess........
I love my wife ! ! !
