Dinky

Well, the Dinky (93 Ford Escort) is gone to another home. While I know it was certainly time it is a bit sad. We bought the car, new, when Steve was learning to drive and we lived split between Denver and Kansas City. All the boys learned to drive in it. It's carried us to both coasts and many places in between, I drove it to KU when taking Graduate classes, and it was the car we most often drove to Ballet classes, baseball games, etc. Scott drove it for 4 years (it was already pretty much a heap) and when he finished his undergrad and got a new car Rob began driving it. It certainly served us well! However, it was slowly dying causing continual repairs, etc so Rob had to have a newer car and the Dinky had to go. I hope the new owners appreciate it as much as we did!

On other subjects, I've been busy since we got home sewing quilt blocks for Brayden's quilt. I'm hoping, probably in vain, to have it done by his birthday. I still consider myself on vacation so I'll be sewing again today. Think I'm up to 60 blocks. When I use up all the backs I have cut I'll lay out the top and begin making quiltlets. Photos on Friday! I did some cross-stitching last night on a Christmas Sock for Brayden. I think I need to make at least 4 of these things this year! I have to clean house some this week as well, since we're having the party for Brayden's third birthday (and my MIL is coming--I always use her as an excuse for cleaning!) Also this week I'm getting back on the research wagon and putting time in on organizing and at the library! Woo-hoo I really didn't know if I'd ever get there again.

Larry's chemo this past Thursday went well, I don't think the full effect has hit him yet as he's only had two shots to boost his white counts and they really hit him. Has part two this Thursday then a week off-we're not going to Vegas this time! There will be another ct scan to see if this chemo is working sometime after Thursday.

Think that covers it, it's cold and we're pretty much hibernating! Keep warm! Just think, in Austrailia they are complaining of the heat! We will be soon enough as well.
