New Addition

We bought a new car. It is a used 1997 Jeep Cherokee but it is practically new. It only has 8,300 miles on it!! It was a government car that they obviously didn't use that much. The outside and inside are immaculate. It wasn't my first choice but because of the miles and Spencer's persuasion we decided to go for it. And, we got a good deal on it too. It should last us a very long time. The 4-wheel drive will definitely be nice during the snow and ice storms we get here. Too bad we didn't have this when we lived at the cabin! We have the truck up for sale right now and people are coming to look at it over the weekend, so hopefully it will sell fast.

Happy 4th of July

We had a pretty fun 4th. It started off with a children's bike parade down Main street. All the kids decorate their bikes and they ride down Main street like a little parade. It only lasted about 8 minutes but it was cute. The kids loved it, of course!Later in the afternoon we drove downtown for all the festivities. They had a small antique car show, lots of food vendors, crafts, music, games for the kids, hot-air balloons and fireworks. After being there all day I was so exhausted so we didn't quite make it all the way to see the fireworks that night, we came home early and I fell asleep at 8:30pm!! I tell ya...humidity takes it out of you! Overall, we had a good time.This is the main building at VMI-Virginia Military Institute. It is right next door to Washington and Lee University. Not very many people realize we have 2 colleges side-by-side in little Lexington, Virginia.
