Shaking heads

Jason playing with his puzzle (thanks for recommending it Sheena), he loves it.

There are always those people in a neighborhood where the people just look out their windows and shake their heads. What can they be doing this time? Usually Colin and I are the ones looking out the window to investigate, not because we aren't strange, but because we are usually quite quiet. Last night and this morning we were the people making others question.

First of all, Colin's work pickup is once again having issues. Colin replaced both batteries and last night it was the alternators turn. This wasn't fun, but it was entertaining to see him standing on the front end of his pickup trying to retrieve a socket that had fallen to what seemed to be its final resting place. After a lot of effort Colin saved that socket and finished the job. Yet, after all of that work....... the pickup is still so sick that it needed a jump this morning. This time there was a hitch, it was in our driveway. What do you do when you need to move a giant boat anchor......... none other than the manual method of pushing. Colin started this process alone, but I quickly joined him (in pj's and Colin's oversized shoes). We pushed it back into the street until we were able to reach both batteries with the jumper cables. Looking at this whole process........ all I can think of is how funny it must have looked to all watching. I know people were watching because one neighbor came over to ask questions and the other neighbors are always looking out their windows. It reminds me of Meeteetse in that way. Even with all of the efforts the pickup is still not working and Colin is currently using our personal vehicle. At least we have gotten some laughs out of this process. I think our neighbors have too.

On a quick note........ we must not be giving enough good thoughts to poor Crissy, she is still pregnant and it is D-day. Crissy we are thinking of you and Travis and hope that you will meet your little man very soon. Have a good one and I will hopefully have more stories to tell of this hillbilly clan soon.
