Our "New" Vehicle

I am so excited!!! We got our "new" van today. I really like it...for a minivan. I like our other van because it sits up higher and the seats in the back ....well, I don't feel like I am sitting on the floor. But alas....it's had 180,000+ and the air conditioner needs to be replaced (not recharged, but fully replaced). Sorry for rambling. The Lord really blessed us with finding this van. We didn't think we would be able to purchase a vehicle anytime soon. When we were visiting our in-laws on Saturday i looked in the local paper and saw an ad for this van. We (almost immediately) went over to have a look at it. After we took it for a drive (and after talking to a couple of "mechanic" friends) we knew it is what we wanted. We have been researching for a few months. It turns out that this lady is the Grandmother to a guy that my Hubby played baseball with. We and the owner felt it was God that led us to this vehicle. I won't go into every little detail. I just wanted to emphasize that GOD IS GOOD!!!!! Anyway, without further ado here are a couple of pictures of our "new" van.


We have decided to sell our car instead of the van. Even though the van has 50,000 more miles it still runs really good. We use it like a truck in a lot of ways. But I figured I would show a picture of the car we are going to sell in case any of you all would be interested. It is a 1994 Buick LeSabre and it only has 128,000 on it.

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
