F.O.R.D.

So my husband bought a new Escape last November. Took it to the dealer on Friday for several little things including a knock in the engine. They still have it, may have it for the next week (he has a loaner) and are talking about having to replace the engine with like 6,000 miles on it.....WHAT???? I am not going to make any negative FORD comments because I like his car and it was my idea to get this. I am on my 2nd Honda and he drove one for years before he put 200,000 miles on it and something major broke and he hit the wall at 70mph about 6 years ago. Matt worked for Honda, drives one and talked me into my Accord after my Mountaineer that I put 160,000 miles on. (I loved that more than ANY car I have ever driven and still miss it.) I am just worried that this is a sign of other things to come. Now mind you, I had a Chevy wagon, a Taurus wagon, an Aerostar (ugh and ugly), 3 Windstars (the 1st one had to have the transmission replaced at under 50,000 miles, suddenly lost reverse!), and I never dissed Ford, however........get 'er done! Whatever it takes! It is what it is.

Delta Dog Days 3

 We have not been able to leave her alone for more than a few minutes.  UGH newborn.  She is a sweetheart and not bothered or barking at other dogs. After I worked at the Thrift shop I took her up to the pool deck and locked the gate.  She is so small  she got through the rungs of the deck.  ðŸ˜³  It is what it is.  She is so sweet but so is needy and so challenging.

Delta Dog Day 4

 Beyond belief, we both got to sleep upstairs in our bed all night!  She could not scale the new gate and settled in her crate in the kitchen around 2:00 AM.  Otto gave me the night but after she settled, he came upstairs and she did not bark or whine all night!!!   I came down after a shower, took her outside on her lead and then fed her.  Back upstairs to do my hair etc.  I heard "something" and came downstairs to find that she had opened the pantry (that has a magnet closure on it for dog/children safety) and had a bag of marshmallows on the floor, not opened thank goodness.   I blocked it with a chair but removed anything that she could get to if she opened it again (within her reach).  NOTE:  new plan for pantry.   Later in the day we were sitting outside with her and she picked some cherry tomatoes and ate them (yes I checked on Google that they are NOT poisonous for dogs).  After dinner with friends, she snatched a corncob an...

School's out, teacher let the fools out!

No more pencils, no more books, no more STUDENT'S dirty looks! What a group I had this year, eiy yie yie! I can honestly say if I never see some of that bunch again, it will be too soon. Fun party last night...too tired to sleep! Nice feeling to sleep in. ADK party this afternoon, piano lesson (may have to re-schedule), picking up new car in Ann Arbor and going to Amanda's 2 baseball games. Nice video chat with Andrew & Matt last night. They get so silly! Brian landed safely in L.A. at 2:09 our time. His plane from Philly was delayed over 3 hours. All day to go 5 hours sucks, but he is safe! Congratulations Matthew Sandoval on your middle school graduation. Have fun with your family. I cleaned out 2 filing cabinets of old 4th grade files and old materials we don't use any more. I think I filled 10 boxes to re-cycle. I didn't get my bulletin boards done for fall (who knows where I will be anyway!) or my books sorted (paperbacks). Administrative whispe...
