Car and Toy's

    Well for some reason we are still having problems with our car. We took it in a few weeks back because the fuel pump went out. We had replaced it last year but our Warranty expired so we had to pay for it all again. Luckily though hubby's cousin who we took the car to gave us a 100 dollars off. But a little over a week later on Christmas day no less it stopped working on the way to my moms. So we took it back and they put it on their computer and couldn't find what was wrong with it and it also started working again. So we figure maybe it's a fluke? But at least we didn't have to pay for anything. Well last night hubby was on his way home and once again the fuel pump stopped working. Thankfully my mom new we were having problems with it before she left up north for a few day's and left her one truck just in case we needed it. We can't get the car in to get it looked at for a couple day's so we are using my mom's truck. Which is a stick and I can't drive LOL. Oh well this too shall pass. Hopefully we can find out what's wrong with it soon and not have to pay an arm and a leg. Pray for us.

    Today I went through the boy's old toy's and had to throw a lot away because either there are missing pieces or it was broken. Made room for some of their newer toy's anyway. Boy's are good about going through things and not throwing fits about this and that. Which I am grateful for. All though I worked on this all day the house still looks like a tornado hit it LOL. Hopefully tomorrow I can work on it more and make it more presentable. I didn't realize how many toy's they actually had! They got most of them from when we had our fire in '04. We had so many people help us out during that hard time and they had either bought or gave us toy's for the boy's. It was a humbling and thankful time. So good to know there are still a lot more wonderful people out there then we think.

Howdy!

I just came across your blog. Beautiful picture of the sunset on the lake. I love going up north to Michigan...we spend time up there every year. We especially love the Sleeping Bear Dunes area. I'm looking forward to reading more.

Peace and Joy to you,
Deborah

Sounds like your all back to good health! It's such a bummer to be sick over the Holidays, especially when your husband had time off. Hope your able to get your car fixed soon or that the Lord will provide you with a different vehicle. --Good for you, cleaning out the toys! I really need to do that too - maybe New Year's Day when we're off from school! I won't get much help from my boys though, LOL they are usually quite attached.
