She's Ba-a-a-ack!

Way back in the last week of March, Eric was driving home from work when our Vibe died on the side of the road. We had it towed to our regular mechanic to have it fixed, and there ensued weeks of delays, wrong parts ordered, more problems, and such a comedy of errors on the part of the repair shop that if we hadn't been so angry, we would have laughed hysterically.

After a very long 6 weeks and 2 days of begging rides, taking the commuter bus, and general juggling of 4 schedules, our Pumpkin is home!



We are very grateful to be a 2-car family again! Here's hoping she really is fixed!

Where's My Pot of Gold?

We've had 8 days of measurable rain. Today was OK until the late afternoon; then the bottom fell out again. But the reward came while we were on our way to supper...a double rainbow! My camera was at home, unfortunately, but I had Nicky take a couple of pictures on my cell phone. This was the best of the lot:

This is one of those cases where you had to be there. It was absolutely beautiful, and when the second one shone through, we were just stunned.

I'm never going anywhere without my camera again!

We're Gonna Rock Down To...

The kids and I saw this sign last week on PA-22 as we drove to Penn State University for a tour:



I giggled and giggled...flashback to the 80s!!!!!

And no, I wasn't driving...JJ was! Promise!

Rainy Days and Tuesdays

Ugh...more rain, and no end in sight. Here's a picture I took last week when we toured Penn State University:

So beautiful!

Driving Me Crazy

Look out...there's a new driver on Maryland highways!

Rain, Rain, Go Away

It was a very rainy and gloomy Sunday. Where's last week's sunshine??? Wait....

Ah...Muffin enjoying last week's heat and sunshine. She was loving it!

Dance Fever

Tonight was Nicky's 8th grade dance at school. The theme was Bright Lights, Big City and it was decorated like Central Park in New York. It was unbelievable! It didn't even look like school. I helped with the pictures--of course! I had a great time, but Nicky, not so much. Since he's not too social, he sat down a lot and stood around a lot, but didn't talk much and didn't dance at all. He did look pretty spiffy!



He sure does clean up good!
