Our Car Died

 We almost didn't make it to Carol's dinner yesterday On Friday nite we went into town to pick up a few things, and on the way home the car died!! I made it over half way home going very slowly on the back roads with no headlights, no wipers (and of course it was raining!) holding a flashlight out the window for a bit of light, lol!! Then the battery finally gave out on us and we stopped at the end of a friends driveway. Cody ran home in the ran and got the truck and we towed the car home. It turned out the be the alternator and we took it in yesterday to get fixed, and lucky enough they had it done before it was time to leave for dinner! Dinner was great, so I"m glad we didn't miss it

 

Today all the boys are going to play laser tag so it'll just be Hannah and Mike and I after they get home from church. I think it will be a very quiet day

I won $100

 On the radio....where else, lol!!

 

But....I could have won $1,000 if I knew this answer...

 

'Who's face is on the  U.S. $10,000 bill???'

 

And I'm like...."there's a $10,000 bill"???lol

 

Does anyone here know the answer without looking

it uplol

 

Oh well....$100 is more than I had last nite, lol,

now what to do with it!!?

 

The little kids thought I should go out and buy them toyslol

Tricia is running for Town Council

 Yep, my little sister Tricia.....here she's gibby1977....is running for town council in her hometown of Bracebridge!

 

I am just so doggone proud of her, you can't even imagine

 

Good luck to you hun on November 13...wish I could be there with you when you are awaiting the decision. No matter what the outcome, I know you'll still make sure your voice is heard on the issues that you know are important to your community!!

 

Big Huggz from your big sister....Joan

Colin and I saw George Canyon

 We had a fabulous time!! The concert was a great show, so much better than when I heard him in Havelock! Smoke and lights, and running through the crowd!!

This is such a 'me' story, lol.....would you believe he came up into the crowd to get a $5 bill from the woman sitting directly behind me, and I was on the aisle seat...and my camera ran out of batteries!!!!It could only happen to me, LOL!!

My son and his friend had gone up to sit in the very back center seats cuz they were empty and then there was no one sitting in front of them who they had to see through, lol, and George walked to the back and asked them how the view was from there, and said 'Wow, you guys have the whole row to yourselves', lol!!

So no pics but my son came home with a t-shirt, and his friend taped about 40 minutes of the show on his MP3 player

Going for Turkey Dinner

 We just dropped Hannah off at a birthday party and as soon as she's done we are on our way to my sisters for thanksgiving dinner/birthday party combined. I worked last weekend and today is her son's b'day so we combine the two every year.

 

I don't think the older boys are coming this year Cody says it's boring now, especially since Kyle's girlfriend was there last year and she didn't speak a work to either of my boys, lol!!  And Colin has gotten a group of friends together, about 20 of them, and they are right now just starting a game of laser tag, in a big old abandoned building. He knows the people that just started the paintball, laser tag company, and they are giving him a discount for rounding up the guys. Still I don't think the regular $25 is too high a price to pay for 3 hours of laser tag
