Gracie ready for Easter Egg hunt! I really have not had that much to talk about lately except that I am keeping busy with bakery work along with helping mom and dad. However, my wonderful 1999 Toyota 4-Runner, with almost 100,000 miles to its credit, has developed an attitude. It has been my faithful chariot for ten years and I have not taken care of it except for oil changes, new tires, and new brakes. But things change. On Monday, it needed a new starter system to the tune of $450.00 and today it's "check engine" light is on. Back to the Toyota dealership this afternoon. I do so pray that this trip doesn't cost us a small fortune.
On Saturday we are dejunking my mom and dad's home. The grandchildren are taking what they want and then we all are bagging up trash. I don't know where to start. That's not altogether true as I have made a list. Their home is so full of stuff, most of which is considered junk although I am sure they think of this stuff as treasured memories. And, dad's garage looks like a small retro macine shop. While living with them, I never paid attention to what was inside the garage as this was dad's domain so now am suprised to find industrial machines on benches that he made. How did he get them in there? And when? Anyway, Saturday will be an interesting day. I'm not sure what to think about it yet.
This past Sunday Gracie spent the night with us and we saw the movie "Hana Montana" together. It is a cute. I was not sure about her watching a movie about a 16 yr. old rock star but it was mommy approved and has a G rating. When we got home from the movie, grandaddy made cheeseburgers and I made fruit smoothies. We then played paper dolls until 10 pm when granddaddy said "lights out." Then, we read in bed from her "Laura Ingalls" library book. The time with her went so fast but I enjoyed it immensely. Next month is TBear's sleepover...looking forward to it too.
Every day is an adventure, right? I get so caught up in the adventure that I do not find time to post the happenings around me. Well, I'm getting ready to visit the Toyota dealership to see why the "check engine" light is on. I really cannot buy a new or even used car right now so I pray that this is fixable and not too costly. UPDATE: Back from dealership and $168.00 less in my pocket...the problem was a faulty "Check Engine" sensor. Ugh! I guess it could have been worse.
