Long time no Post

Well it does feel like it has been a long time since I have posted.   I will say this, there have been a few days where I have not been motivated even to turn on the computer. 

Last Friday we went no where, quite literally.  I was on time loading everyone in the car to pick up my niece and nephew and go teach.  When I went to turn the key, nothing.  Absolutely nothing.  I mean that you could not even turn the key.  I tried everything I could think of.  I then called my husband and he instructed me to do everything I already tried.  My father-in-law came over and tried the things I all ready tried.  And just for good measure so did my brother-in-law.  Nothing like a party in the driveway first thing in the morning.  We decided that there was no way that I was going to get to school or my sisters and made the appropriate phone calls.  I called a locksmith who said his was a common problem with my type of vehicle and he could fix it, not until after nine.

I would just like to point out the Max was happy to play in the puddle in the middle of the parking lot while all the adults tried fruitlessly to fix the car.  He was soaked right down to his underwear (and it wasn't from an accident).      I simply changed his cloths when he was finished and made hot chocolate while we waited for the locksmith. 

I enjoyed my day off.  The children enjoyed staying home as well.  They love having time to play with their own toys.  We had several rousing rounds of Candyland followed by a few of Connect Four. 

I am also happy to report that the village board gave approval for the race.  I am so excited and overwhelmed with all that is left to be done.  October will come fast.
