New Car

So, over the last year that we have had the children, Loren and I have contemplated to get a new car or finish our basement, both we need because we have the kids. Well, the last few months Loren's 97 Ford Ranger and his 98 Honda Civic have needed work and neither are in great working order without some seriously expense. So, now we've decided instead of starting the basement in January we'll be needing a new car sooner rather than later. Because we keep our vehicles many years, we are looking at buying the Honda Odyssey van to replace Loren's two cars. He will then be driving my Honda Accord. We have been looking at every way possible to save money when buying a car, and yet get something that will last us until Taylor graduates. So, we found a 2010 model of the Honda Odyssey van that is new, had everything I want on it, to include the Rear Entertainment System know on hondas at RES. However, I started looking at the new 2011 models and ohhhhhh they have a nice design. I like some features on each and they of course do not have all the same features.

So, I think we have the one picked out as long as it doesn't sell. Its a 2010 Black Odyssey with grey interior, and Navigation and Rear Entertainment System. Because its a 2010 we can get a great deal on this van! We drove to the lot the other day and the one I really wanted it, a smokey grey color was sold, but this one has all the same equipment. Now its a matter of when we're going to do it. I can't wait to post pictures of my new car!

Clinton Anderson Walkabout Tour

Yesterday, we took the kids into Denver for the Clinton Anderson Walkabout Tour, he is a man who trains horses, he doesn't just train horse, he is a master. We watched him train a bad horse in a matter of an hour. Here are a few pictures from our Down Under visit!

My blog

A week or so ago, I thought I would change my blog back to the original format, in doing so I lost EVERYTHING I had spent years adding to my blog, such as my list of friends and family. I had no other resource for checking out my friends blogs. WELL....I was heartsick, not only could I not get that back, but I also could not figureout how to at least put a background on my blog. WHEW, this morning I decided I was going to figure this out once and for all. SO, I did..as you can see. Sort of figured it out that is, I still can't see my background in the forfront, just the background. So, I need to work on that, but for now, I am not messin with anything else so my blog doesn't disappear again.

So, happy to be back! I can't even tell you how happy I am!
