Did I say normal? Yeah, I meant normal.

If you have been following my comments on Facebook, you know that we had quite an eventful Thursday afternoon. Hubby was taking our lowboy trailer to a buddy who wanted to borrow it, and this happened:











then the other guy rolled down onto Dan's windshield....











and now our truck looks like this.











Everyone is fine, and we are now waiting on insurance to tell us what they think our truck was worth. :-) Until then, we plan to go get a rental for the kids and me, and Hubby will be using the Suburban for work. Never a dull moment, folks. Never.

Miss Daisy

So, we have been driving our new car around, enjoying it's largeness and it's free-flowing air conditioning! We can even fit the big stroller in the trunk without completely disassembling it!

My family has this quirky tradition of naming vehicles that have a certain personality about them. My brother has had "Old Yeller" and "Blue." My first car was affectionately dubbed "The Smoke Bomb," because I could clear out the entire parking lot upon firing the engine up.... We christened the Civic "Road Warrior" because of the extensive traveling we seem to do in it.

Now, we have "Miss Daisy!" Not that she is especially geriatric, but because well, a lot of older women have this type of car. We like it for the big, big back seat and the low, low price! (Did I mention the air condition?!) We did make one modification, however. We ran out and got the windows tinted. Dark.
