Me: Come on Mabel, you can do it!
Mabel: Uh... I don't think so, that looks very high.


Me: Mabel, jump... come on.
Mabel: Ya, I don't think I can do it...

Mabel is...

CUTE! :)





THE 1974 Gran Torino Wagon






I'm not sure that many people have seen this sweet ride yet... but we got this 1974 Gran Torino Wagon last year. We're trying to sell it on Craigslist right now (it's a gas hog and sort of broken down...) but we've gotten a bite!!! Some guy that wants to use it for parts... good for him! If we do sell it Matt would like to get a 1 ton late 80's - early 90's Toyota pickup for work... we'll see! :) The Gran Torino will be missed though... it's a pretty sick ride.

WE'RE BACK!!!

Take that Florida peeps...

YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME. I hate this kind of weather... this is why I moved, if you didn't know. To top it all off... the AC went out on the Jeep, our "good car", today. UGH.
