And it's off!

It's been over a week since I blogged. What ever was I thinking that when my children grew up I would have lots of extra time, HAH! There is so much to do and not enough time. I will admit that I have been on the computer doing various things, and playing a game here and there, but not blogging ~ even though I have been reading others. I have lots of thoughts to blog, but am usually not even near the computer when the thought comes around.

So much for the needed rain last week. We had one rainy day and that isn't enough as we go into our 3rd drought year. There still is hope that we'll get some spring rain and snow, but it won't be enough to catch up. It is nice and sunny today but the wind is very icy and bone chilling.

Eric and dad are switching cars ~ Eric is getting the '59 El Camino and dad is getting the '55 Studebaker. Sometime during the early hours on Sunday someone broke into the Studebaker and stole the steering wheel. We think some kids out for a kick. They really didn't know what they were looking for. It is now in the yard behind locked gates. They egged Keith's car, so we think high school kids.

Keith is selling his Geo to a friend, but alas the tranny is having problems. He spent most all day Sunday working on the car, with his brother and dad. He now needs to finish putting it back together, after work.

This picture was taken last June. Keith is doing some work on/for his '59 Galaxy. Here it is! Looking nice and shiny. I can't even begin to say how much time and effort he has put into this car. He did a really nice paint job and enjoys driving it.

His goal has been to restore the car and sell it. There has been interest off and on. This last weekend he went down to Bakersfield, with his brother and dad to a vintage car show, meet. Anyway to make a long story short he sold the car to a man from New Zealand who is a collector. This gentleman has been in the U.S. for a couple months looking at and buying old cars for his collection, and will be in the U.S. for another month (with his family). Keith will drive the car to L.A. on Friday and the gentleman will bring him back.
Interestingly the car is going to become part of a collection.
