Update:

Mom and dad are heading back this way on Tuesday and will stay a few more days here.

Slim is working hard on his car and doesn't have much more until it is ready to actually turn the key (although still has a lot of cosmetic stuff to be done).

Slim and I looked at the new Challenger...we debated trading my Charger Super Bee in for one, but discovered that we would actually loose about 15k doing so...they won't give me what the car is actually worth, and I might still have considered it (because I REALLY want the Challenger) but they won't give us the 0% interest rate. We decided to reevaluate in 2 years and then we can think about whether we want to buy a used Challenger or buy a real '71 and retro fit it with all the new SRT insides (including the drivetrain). We'll see...

More later.

Well, mom and Dad pulled up stakes today and are heading on to visit with Uncle Cy and Bonnie. They will be back through in a week or though so...I wish they could stay here all the time, I did not realize how nice it was having family around. Maybe other people take that for granted? 

It was nice having them come in and hang out after supper, having another woman handy, having someone to gripe to a bit, or to listen to her little gripes :). 

I am hoping when they come back through they will stay a few more weeks. We are going to miss her birthday.
