And Soon There Will Nine!!!

Image
We have great news from Kistin and Todd Lewis. They are expecting twins, due this Thanksgiving! You can see the new addition to the family in the sonogram snap here. The "twinkies" are doing well and Kristin is ecstatic. We are planning a Mother's Day picnic at Feather Beach tomorrow afternoon. We'll launch the boat and light the grill, play games with the kids. I'm looking forward to a great summer on the lake. We now have tiny beginner skis, junior skis, a junior wakeboard, a kneeboard, as well as the big orange tube ... something for everyone. I describe my role as "Grandpa Towboat".

Greg's New Ride

Image
Greg is ready to retire his pretty 325i convertible. He found this really sharp 528i sedan that is 10 years newer. The 325 is going to offered for $3500 to some deserving home. I thought that I might simplify the parking situation in our drive and sell the Miata. However after spending about $1500.00 on engine repairs, new tires, and refurbished alloy wheels, it looks great and runs beter than ever. OK ... just one more year.

Generations

Image
Well this is our grown up grandson, Drew. He's finishing his sophomore year and just turned 16. Drew is completing three AP courses and remains a kind big brother. I'm sure he's ready for summer, other than he has to find that first job. I wasn't invited to look for Drew's first car, but I couldn't seem to help myself. I drove by my favorite dealer week after week, but rarely sent a picture to Steph or Donny. Stephanie found a dealer that took delivery on a fleet of rental car return Toyota Corollas with low miles and a great price. The plan is to keep this car going through high school and college. Not to worry Megan and Landon or Jessica and Grant, but we seniors might be amazed at the insurance coverage for a 16 year old boy today. Can you come up with $325.00 per month?!!!

Derby Day

These two were in great form at the Derby Day party. The food was fantastic, as always. Corby certainly can plan a party!!! The friends who were at the reunion were also at the Derby party. It was a great time.
